Kyoto Race 3 - Maiden Race
ILLUMINA G T (6) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1800m at Hanshin, finishing strongly to get up for third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Has ability and looks sure to measure up again with that run under the belt. SHIMI HATTOKU (2) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1600m at Hanshin but wasn't all that far from the winner and did find the line well. Should take a lot from that hit-out and is the obvious danger. T O AL AIN (5) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Hanshin, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Suited by the small field and should be about the mark. SALT HAPPY (1) has raced twice. Was a distant third on debut then clocked-in 4 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out over 1800m at Hanshin. Top three prospects.

At debut, ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 9 at Hanshin on September 21 over 1800m, 2.25 len behind Berkshire City carrying 55.0kg at $6.90. Encouraging signs on debut and another big run is likely.
