Chukyo Race 8 - Korankei Tokubetsu
SNOWSCAPE (1) was less than a length from the winner in third at Kyoto on debut before showing the benefit of that race experience when an impressive winner over 2000m at the same track last start. Capable of further improvement and can go on with the job. LORD FILER (8) is a talented colt who tackled the cream at his last run on April 19 and finished 17th behind Lovcen over 2000m in the G1 Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas) at Nakayama. Massive class drop today. Best figures should see him run well. BLACK SHALIMAR (5) went forward last start over 1800m at Hanshin and held on well for second, beaten 1.5 lengths. That form will measure up. Sure to run well. ATLETA (6) has not appeared since he scored over 2000m at Kyoto on May 10. Key contender.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Kyoto on May 3 over 1800m, nose behind Ox's Eye with 55.0kg at $3.50. Second-up favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Kyoto May 24 over 2000m defeating Titanomachia carrying 55.0kg at $1.60. Brings the right form to the table. Top chance.

Third-up today. Freshened for 62 days. Resuming 2nd of 8 at Kyoto on May 3 over 2000m, 1.3 len behind Tenter De Vivre carrying 58.0kg at $3.50.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 49 day letup. First-up 2nd in a small field at Kyoto on April 25 over 1800m, neck behind Bullet Pass with 57.0kg at $3.70.

Resuming after a 11 weeks break. Not seen since winning by 3 len Kyoto May 10 over 2000m defeating Flare Of Sense with 57.0kg at $6. On debut seventh of 13 at Hanshin April 19 over 2200m, 3.5 len behind Danon Seahawk with 57.0kg at $32.50. Should be right in the mix.
