Kyoto Race 9 - Yaguruma Sho
LONG TALL SALLY (1) is a promising type who scored at her only run last prep ten weeks ago over 2000m at Hanshin. Bombproof filly who comes to hand quickly. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and will prove tough to beat. LAY CLASSIC (9) broke her maiden last start over 2000m at Chukyo when resuming, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Can go right on with the job now. RARAO (3) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 2000m at Fukushima two weeks ago. Sure to play a major role. TRINITY (7) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1800m at Hanshin when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. Ready to run another big race.
