KYOTO DIRT   10 May 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Strong tempo with Yamanin Shura and Seek The Dream pressing forward while Calorosa kicks up on their inside. LUX SPEI (2) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a neck away in second over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt after being in contention all the way. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. SEEK THE DREAM (13) was safely held when second last time out over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Promising colt who will be hard to beat. WANDERER (4) did a good job last start to finish second at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m, beaten a head. Should be at his peak now and is one of the main contenders. JASPER SOLEIL (10) was beaten 5 lengths into sixth at the second run back from a break over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt last time out. No surprise to see him in the frame.
