KYOTO DIRT   11 Jan 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Sunrise Bullet and Gaura Spark ahead of Saimon Chevalier and Gordale Scar. SAIMON CHEVALIER (11) has registered two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Was handy all the way and finished a long neck from the winner in third last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. In a suitable race and can build on solid recent form. EIYU FIRE (6) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SUNRISE BULLET (13) closed last prep six months ago when he finished third over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. This sets up nicely. YORINO LEGEND (3) finished third last time over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
