KYOTO DIRT   03 May 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Reasonable tempo with Solis Clavis probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. SOLIS CLAVIS (5) made his debut last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at Hanshin Dirt over 1400m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement and worth following up. DYAUS (14) finished second, beaten one length, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. In the right race and is a winning hope. MOZU K STAR (9) finished third last time out over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, making it three career minor placings. Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on three occasions. Expected to run well. TRIPLETE (16) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims.
