Kyoto Race 1 - Kyoto 3Yo Maiden
SMASHING (6) started favourite last time out over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt but found one better, making it four minor placings from six starts this campaign. She should be involved in the finish. PRINCESS ATSUKO (10) kept coming only to just miss last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Placed 3/3 do far and bursting to win. Hard to beat. PICARA (9) is back from a spell of six months. Debuted with a second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1400m at this track at her only appearance to date. One of the main contenders. TAGANO SYLPHY (4) resumes today after showing glimpses of ability in her first campaign. Open to improvement and expected to go on with it.

Most recently crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 5th of 15 at Fukushima Dirt on April 19 over 1700m, 7 len behind Alacran with 55.0kg at $5.80. The race before that couldn't go on with it; 5th of 10 at Hanshin Dirt on March 21 over 1800m, 6 len behind Clematis with 55.0kg at $2.90. Can make amends.
