KYOTO DIRT   01 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1900m

Track:      

From wide out Sulfur can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. SALTAR (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1900m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SULFUR (11) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish second last start over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten one length when resuming. Likely improver with strong prospects. PIENA ISLE (7) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. MATENRO SILVIA (14) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 8 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1900m at this track. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
