KYOTO DIRT   22 Feb 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1900m

Track:      

Solid tempo with American Bar going forward from the good draw. AMERICAN BAR (2) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Chukyo Dirt over 1900m. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will give a great sight. LANDSHUT (9) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. EPOEPOSAN (10) is yet to break through in seven runs but has been thereabouts. Last start was 6 lengths away in fourth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One to consider. KEIAI WAIRARAPA (5) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1800m at this track. Has ability so don't underestimate.

Was at very long odds at debut, second last of 16 at this track on February 10 over 1800m, 30 len behind Point Nemo with 55.0kg at $97.60. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.
