KYOTO DIRT   25 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Expecting Life Is Colorful to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. PEPTIDE LEON (3) finished third, beaten 5.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Yet to run a poor race in four career starts. Likely improver with bright prospects. NAMURA RODIN (15) met with solid support last start over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt when third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Draws out a bit but is worth another chance. MOZU PLUS FORT (11) last raced just six days ago when fifth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. The quick back-up is a positive sign from the stable. Capable of putting together a much better run. LIFE IS COLORFUL (10) finished 9 lengths away in fifth after being in the firing line on the bend at his last appearance over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt on April 11. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, 12th of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on March 15 over 1400m, 12 len behind Aikan Azzurra carrying 51.0kg at $252.30. Second-up 14th of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on March 28 over 1200m, 11 len behind Red Levendis carrying 52.0kg at $398.70. Won't be beating too many of these home.
