Kyoto Race 5 - Maiden Race
VIP WOLF (9) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner when fresh from a spell last start over 2200m at Nakayama. Will strip a lot fitter this time around. Nicely placed to play a major role. COSMO FIRENZE (1) finished fourth when first-up from a spell last start over 2000m at Hanshin after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will take some beating. FUSEN (5) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1800m at Hanshin. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. ELNATH (2) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 7 lengths when fifth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, eased back early on 10th of 14 at Hanshin Dirt on February 21 over 1800m, 18 len behind Acorn Dream with 57.0kg at $57.60. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Kawasaki on April 7 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Dateotoko carrying 53kg at $12. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
