KYOTO DIRT   26 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

From wide out Green Go can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. T M STAR RUN (14) is a four-start maiden who was in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second at the latest appearance over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. GREEN GO (12) finished third, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RED FREUDE (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 4.5 lengths. Profiles nicely. Top chance. ZELANTE (15) stepped out on his debut over 1600m at Hanshin four weeks ago and finished ninth, beaten 6 lengths. Expected to do far better this time. Follow up.
