KYOTO DIRT   03 May 2026
 
GOING:

ROKUHARA TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track:      

Expecting Jo Tarumae to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. SUNRISE BULLET (8) is a genuine four-year-old entire who resumed with a solid second last time out at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m. Excellent winning chance. LEVANTE CITY (6) bounced back last start and got the job done by half a length after being in the firing line on the turn as favourite over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth serious consideration. T O LYMAN (5) was well off best last time as favourite. Placed only try this course and distance. Well worth another chance. BATON INDIE (2) took advantage of the good draw and led for much of the way last start before being run down in the straight, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Well-placed and expected to feature.
