KYOTO DIRT   04 May 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Lots of speed predominantly from Run Windy, Sirius and Mon Cheri. PROMISING STAR (13) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Generally goes well here at this trip, finishing in the frame at all three attempts. Should run well. DISTANT SKY (14) finished 6 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt, an improvement on his 14th at Tokyo Dirt the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SOMEDAY (11) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Worth including. MON CHERI (4) has not been sighted since she finished sixth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt on February 25. In the money at her other three starts. Anticipating a bright return.
