KYOTO DIRT   26 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Genuine pace with Sunrise Bullet taking up the running ahead of Yorina Sweet and Master License. LE SERMENT D'AMOUR (15) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1800m at this track. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at this track over 1800m. Set to return in style. SUNRISE BULLET (9) made his debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab third, beaten a neck, over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. MASTER LICENSE (4) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at Chukyo Dirt over 1800m, beaten 7 lengths. Should be thereabouts. SANTO MONARCA (2) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Must be respected.
