KYOTO   26 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

AYAME SHO 1800m

Track: FIRM      

A solid tempo anticipated with Navel Orange and Baltica ahead of Kingmaker and Tripolitania. KINGMAKER (2) never threatened last time when tenth over 2400m at Hanshin. Freshened up and coming back to a far more suitable trip. Can bounce back. GRAFFITI ART (3) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing fifth over 2000m at Listed level at Chukyo three months ago. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Leading contender on best figures. TRIPOLITANIA (1) finished second last time over 1800m at Hanshin when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.3 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out. TWO M KHRONOS (6) is coming off a last-start ninth, beaten 6 lengths, in a Grade 3 over 1600m at Hanshin. Big chance in this grade.
