KYOTO   31 May 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

In Your Eyes, Kitasan Riser and Dantsu Atom can set a genuine tempo. KITASAN RISER (3) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fifth over 1600m at Tokyo, beaten 3 lengths. Has more to offer it seems and deserves another chance. KEIAI TEA (14) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Back in much better shape and can feature in the finish. DANON BRANDNEW (8) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish 13th at the latest run over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Has ability when right and is a leading player. SMART SATURN (7) was beaten 3 lengths into fifth at the second run back from a break in a 1400m contest at Hanshin eight weeks ago. Good each-way hope.
