KYOTO   22 Feb 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 2400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Validissimus. L'OTTOBRATA (3) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 2000m at this track. Big run likely. VALIDISSIMUS (14) has not raced since his debut back on December 8 when he finished fifth over 1800m at this track. Expected to improve and will pay to follow up. BIJOU DE NEIGE (8) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Kokura over 2000m, beaten 2.5 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. DANON GRAY (9) finished third last time over 2000m at Kokura, beaten 2.25 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
