Kyoto Race 2 - Maiden Race
One of the top three picks should be winning. HABILE (7) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt when second, beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver who clearly has an edge on this field. MEETHAQ (3) stepped out on his debut over 1800m at Hanshin seven weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 1.75 lengths. Looms as a threat with race experience now on board. FORTINBRAS (6) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing third and beaten 2.75 lengths over 1800m at this track. Has ability and is not out of this by any means. WATER HAKUBI (5) ran a better race last time at his second career start when fifth over 1900m at this track. Fitter and can sneak into the frame.

At debut, 6th of 12 at Hanshin on December 21 over 1800m, 1.75 len behind Trinity carrying 56.0kg at $5.40. Likely to take a lot from that run and is worth following up.

Jumped at long odds at debut, 12th of 16 at this track on January 24 over 1800m, 9 len behind Horner with 57.0kg at $44. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
