Kyoto Race 4 - Maiden Race
DON'T TESTA MASTER (6) started at $3.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m after being in contention on the turn. Finds the right race to turn in a big run this time. SALT HAPPY (1) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 2000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another top three finish. NAMURA WUNDER (7) resumes from a spell of ten weeks and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 2400m at Hanshin. Re-unites with Katsuma Sameshima. Nicely placed and can kick this campaign off on a bright note. CALABASH (8) is facing the starter for the first time. By Saturnalia and hails from the Ryo Terashima stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
