Kyoto Race 5 - Maiden Race
LORD STUNNING (6) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1800m at Hanshin. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures put him a fair way ahead of this field. DANON WONDER (1) stepped out on his debut over 1800m at Fukushima three weeks ago and finished seventh, beaten 3 lengths. Likely improver and can feature in the finish again. LARVANDAD (11) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Shogo Yasuda. By Epiphaneia from Magic Attitude who won at the elite level. Respect any positive move in betting. SALT HAPPY (10) was beaten 4.5 lengths into eighth at the second run back from a break in a 1800m contest at Hanshin last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
