KYOTO DIRT   11 May 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1900m

Track: STANDARD      

G T Speed and Meisho Yosugara have the early speed and take leading roles. CRITICAL HIT (11) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Improving with racing and is sure to prove tough to beat. G T SPEED (3) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1900m at this track. No surprise if she was able to get off the mark. OVERMASTER (12) is a four-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid third here over 1900m after being in the firing line on the bend. Ideally placed to shed the maiden tag. MEISHO YOSUGARA (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close second when second-up over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. No surprise to see him right in the mix.
