KYOTO   31 May 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Olibanum, Kitasan Mondo and Dura Eterno can set a genuine tempo. DURA ETERNO (18) has been in the placings at his last two appearances the latest as favourite over 2000m at Niigata when 3.5 lengths from the winner. Has a wide gate but he should be involved in the finish. T O STEIN (5) finished a 3.5 length fourth on turf at Chukyo two back then followed up with a minor placing at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m seven weeks ago. Better for that first run on the dirt last time and might pay to follow. HACHIWARE (4) is a three-year-old filly by Satono Diamond out of Air Weil stepping out on debut for the Ryo Terashima stable. One to keep tabs on, particularly if popular in betting. HO O RAVEN (11) has not appeared since he finished 15th over 2200m at Chukyo on January 11. Can make his presence felt.

Before that 2nd of 17 at Hanshin on April 5 over 1800m, 2.5 len behind Red Ister carrying 57.0kg at $25.70. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
