Kyoto Race 9 - Hirasan Tokubetsu
PIC DES MOUCHES (2) was well in commission when resuming last start over 2500m at Nakayama when third, beaten 2 lengths. Improver with winning prospects. Can bounce back. ASKCOMMENTALLEZVOU (8) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths as public elect over 2000m at Hanshin. Yutaka Take scored on him last time and retains the mount. Can go on with it. NEW CREDO (11) won when resuming two starts ago but was less effective last time out when 3.5 lengths from the winner in seventh over 2200m at Chukyo. Not far away last time. Backmarker who keeps coming. Capable of a big run. OMEGA NAVIGATOR (1) has not appeared since he finished third over 2400m at this track on January 31. Has found the right race and is worth including.

Second run back. First-up after three months set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at Nakayama on April 5 over 2500m, 8 len behind Ostrava carrying 58.0kg at $13.80. Previously second-up 12th of 16 at Hanshin on September 20 over 1600m, 7 len behind Enjolras carrying 56.0kg at $2.50. Solid top-three hope.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 49-day let-up. Last start favourite; won by 2.5 len at Hanshin March 8 over 2000m defeating Gerberoy carrying 58.0kg at $1.40. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on February 7 over 2400m, neck behind Fern Grotto carrying 57.0kg at $2.70. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.

Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 8 at Hanshin on April 11 over 2400m, 10 len behind Firm Twenty carrying 58.0kg at $75.90. Before that couldn't go on with it; second last of 9 at Hanshin on March 1 over 2200m, 8 len behind Danon Joker carrying 58.0kg at $282. Hard to recommend.
