Kyoto Race 3 - Maiden Race
SECOND TO BEST (1) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1600m at Hanshin. Fitter for that run and with the help of the inside draw is ready to crack the maiden win. MIRACULOUS EARTH (4) resumes. Wasn't far away in two runs during her maiden prep, the latest a fourth over 1600m at this track 12 weeks ago. Sure to have come on over the break and is likely to run well again. LUNA FIORE (13) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 1800m at Hanshin. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. AURORA BOREALIS (9) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Opened last prep with a barnstorming second over today's course and distance. One of the contenders.
