KYOTO DIRT   10 Jan 2026
 
GOING:

DEMACHI TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Stir Heart and Mozu Cattleya leading the way over Hollywood Park. A race few on chances, perhaps just one. MOZU CATTLEYA (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1800m at this track. Going far better than her rivals and just needs to hold the current form to be taking this out. STIR HEART (6) is a promising galloper who got the prize at her last run before a break 11 weeks ago over 1800m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will give a great sight. JUVENTAS (8) went back early from her wide draw over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt last time but hit the line strongly to finish fourth. Can figure in the finish. RETOUR (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Fukushima, beaten 2.25 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
