Kyoto Race 9 - Tsubaki Sho
PARADIS REINE (5) is a talented filly who has been in the money at both appearances. Has not been produced since she was successful over 1800m at this track on December 14. Has plenty of upside so she looks sure to feature. CON FORZA (4) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of four months and looking to emulate his win at Tokyo to kick off the last campaign. Likely to take beating. WATER CLARK (2) resumes after a break of three months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1800m at this track. Will be hard to stop. BAILEYCHLORE (8) has not raced since he scored over 1600m at this track on November 24. Sure to be competitive.

Resuming. Not seen since winning to post a big 4 len win. This track December 14 over 1800m defeating Eismond carrying 55.0kg at $3.30. On debut third of 9 at this track November 17 over 1800m, 2.5 len behind Kingmaker with 55.0kg at $14.80. Could prove too smart for these.
