Kyoto Race 3 - Maiden Race
APPAREIL (11) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1600m at Chukyo. Leading rider goes aboard. Well placed and happy to have her on top. NARKISSOS (8) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish third last time over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 2.25 lengths. Backmarker who keeps coming. Good chance to break through. DIE IS CAST (7) faced the starter for the first time and finished eighth last start at this track over 1800m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Worth following up. ADI AIRI (13) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.
