Kyoto Race 3 - Maiden Race
VIP DYLAN (2) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a head away in second over 1600m at Hanshin after being prominent from the outset. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. SHINE BECK (13) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 2200m at this track. Good chance to break through. VIABILITY (16)by Novelist out of Y Cube making debut. Related to a host of winners. Likely to be the medium of solid backing. REAL FOLGORE (3) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1600m at Chukyo. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
