Kyoto Race 5 - Maiden Race
ROUGE STEEZ (12) is a four-start maiden who has been in the money two times, Could only manage sixth last time out over 2000m at Chukyo. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this venue. Among the leading players. VOICE OF ZEUS (7) is yet to break through after five career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Hanshin two starts back before finishing fourth over 2000m at Hanshin last start. Cannot be left out of calculations. RAMANUJAN (14) is a three-start maiden who finished eighth at his most recent appearance over 1600m at Hanshin. Worth including in this suitable contest. REALIZE LUX (13) is on debut. By Duramente out of Sower and comes from the Haruki Sugiyama stable. Tricky gate but should be ready to fire. Top-three chance.

Comes off a 43 day let-up. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 5th of 18 at Chukyo on March 15 over 2000m, 5.5 len behind Premier Ship carrying 55.0kg at $277.30. The race before that eased back early on 10th of 15 at this track on February 22 over 2400m, 13 len behind L'ottobrata with 55.0kg at $280.70. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
