KYOTO DIRT   26 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Song Collector can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Song Collector likely to find herself in front. LORD LABYRINTH (6) last appeared when he finished fifth over 1800m at this track on February 9. Generally races well when fresh. Looks a winning chance in a modest race. SHIN BELIEVE (3) took advantage of the good draw when resuming from a spell last start and led for much of the way before finishing second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Should go well again. THREE KINGS (5) went forward from the low draw last time and stalked the lead before fading to finish eighth over 2400m at Hanshin. Worth another chance. TELL ASWAD (10) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last 12 weeks ago when he scored over 1900m at this track. One of the main contenders.
