KYOTO DIRT   20 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Slick pace with Rudesheim finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. RUDESHEIM (2) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when second over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a nice race and can play a major role. G CYCLONE (4) got off the mark when resuming from a spell over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt last start, scoring by 5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. No reason he cannot get the job done again. HAWKFIELD (1) was an effortless maiden winner when resuming last time out over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt, scoring by 3.5 lengths. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run. POD LOGO (9) is back at the races for the first time since December 28. Scored over 1800m at this track at the start of last prep. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
