KYOTO DIRT   16 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Taisei Forte is the likely leader from a wide alley. KALARIPAYATTU (4) has not raced since his debut on March 17 over 1600m at Chukyo when he finished 13th, beaten 10 lengths. Expected to be very competitive while fresh. MATENRO TIME (5) returns after five-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1800m at this track. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. FAURE (15) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m here beaten 3.5 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature. TAISEI FORTE (10) strode forward early from his wide draw over 1800m at this venue last time before fading to finish tenth. Top-three chance on best form.
