Kyoto Race 5 - Allowance Race

KANATA KONATA (4) was impressive last time at Hanshin Dirt, scoring by 5 lengths over this trip. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. SMART JULIUS (5) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.75 lengths over today's trip at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and has a win and a placing. Rates highly and can measure up. LIGHT OF NUKATA (7) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Won only other try second-up. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. STAR OF LONDON (1) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 16 at Chukyo Dirt on December 21 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Katarite carrying 56.0kg at $47.30. Before that 4th of 9 at Kyoto on November 22 over 1400m, 5 len behind Tagano Aralia carrying 56.0kg at $17.60. Won't spend a dime in the run from the inside stall. Good each-way hope.

Form hard to fault. Last start scored a big 5 len win at Hanshin Dirt December 14 over 1400m defeating Battle Ax carrying 56.0kg at $5.40. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Niigata Dirt on October 26 over 1800m, 6 len behind Batucada carrying 56.0kg at $4.70. Dropped back to this trip last time and led throughout for an easy win. Confidence high so a repeat performance is on the cards.

The race before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 13 at this track on November 1 over 1200m, slow going 1.5 len behind Meisho Teleos with 56.0kg at $2.50. Won't be beating too many of these home.
