KYOTO   04 May 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Lily Of The Heart has good gate speed and can overcome the wide alley to lead. JULIA FLORIDA (5) made progress last start to finish second over 1400m at Hanshin. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LONG TEE KETCHUP (1) finished fourth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt at his most recent appearance on February 1. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. TEXAS TWISTER (18) stepped out for his debut over 1600m at this track back on October 27 and finished ninth. Well backed that day so there should be plenty of scope for improvement. LILY OF THE HEART (14) has not raced since her debut on February 9 over 1600m at this track when she finished fourth, beaten 5 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply.
