KYOTO DIRT   03 May 2025
 
GOING: M

Maiden Race 1900m

Track: GOOD      

Earth Grazer to take up the running with Nobori Diamant and Happy Runna close at hand. EARTH GRAZER (6) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing fifth over 1800m at this track three months ago. Expect him to play a major role. SUNRISE SUGAR (11) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 2200m at Hanshin after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. WAXING MOON (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 6 lengths into eighth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. HAPPY RUNNA (1) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second over 1500m at Kanazawa. This looks a good race for her so another forward showing looks likely.
