KYOTO DIRT   21 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1900m

Track: STANDARD      

No noted leader so Mozu Yuiyui may find himself in front. Moderate race. XENOPHON (15) has not raced since his debut on January 20 over 2000m at Kyoto when he finished 11th, beaten 12 lengths. Likely improver and returns in an easier race. Can get off the mark this time. JUN LA TOUR (1) is still a maiden after eight starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt following a minor placing at this track over 1900m the run prior. Among the leading chances. SATONO GIFTED (12) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished 11th at Hanshin over 1600m, beaten 11 lengths. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. MOZU YUIYUI (6) was 11 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Likely improver.

The start before that 3rd of 11 at this track on February 10 over 1900m, 2.75 len behind Amber Doll with 57.0kg at $31.40. Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.
