KYOTO DIRT   22 Feb 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Tamamo Napoli and Shine Venus taking up the running over Epipha D'or. BLUE PECTOLITE (5) resumes in a similar race to her last run nine weeks ago when second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Should be hard to stop. ROSTICCERE (2) finished fourth last time out over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. Looms large. TAMAMO NAPOLI (6) resumes in a similar race to her last run nine weeks ago when seventh, beaten 6 lengths. One to consider. KYOEI FREUDE (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 5 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
