KYOTO DIRT   12 Oct 2025
 
GOING: G

Newcomer Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

All runners lining up for the first time so expect them to go keenly. ZION DANCER (6) is a two-year-old filly by Nadal out of Princess Nonko stepping out on debut for the Takashi Saito stable. Jockey has a strong strike-rate for this stable. Should measure up. JUNE RETRIEVER (4) is a first-starter by Good Magic from the former top race mare Silva who has been a prolific producer of winners. Should get all the favours from this good gate and is certainly worth considering. GOLDEN BALANCE (11) is appearing for the first time. By Rey De Oro and comes from the Haruki Sugiyama stable. Watch for a betting push. RIHLA (3) is appearing for the first time. By Sinister Minister and comes from the Masayuki Nishimura stable. Good draw a big help. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
