KYOTO DIRT   04 May 2025
 
GOING: FM

SHUCHI TOKUBETSU 1900m

Track: FIRM      

Kazeno Runner to take charge ahead of Hortobagy at a solid tempo. HORTOBAGY (1) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing third over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. Useful type who doesn't win out of turn but gets his chance. KAZENO RUNNER (5) took advantage of the good draw and landed on the pace when resuming from a spell last start before tiring to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Will be handy in the run and should prove hard to run down. KANETOSHI GOAT (3) resumed over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt last time out and finished third, beaten 5.5 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and should be fitter with a run under the belt. Among the leading chances. ARARE TABASHIRU (10) settled well back from a good draw last time before running on solidly to finish sixth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Strips fitter and will be tough to stop.
