Kyoto Race 2 - Kyoto 3Yo Maiden
EXTRA PUSH (2) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt following a minor placing at Chukyo Dirt when fresh from a spell the run prior. Well placed this line-up and might be his day. GRAND CHAMP (11) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4 lengths away in third over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt when he was prominent throughout. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ASK HAPPY MAN (4) was fair on debut when sixth over 1700m, 8 len behind Alacran. Better for the run and extra trip a plus. Looks a big improver. KURINO RIKI O (7) is a three-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent outing over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 11th of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on April 12 over 1800m, 14 len behind Smart Gloire carrying 57.0kg at $351. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 15 at Hanshin Dirt on April 18 over 2000m, 4 len behind Thisavros carrying 57.0kg at $9.70. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Hanshin Dirt on March 29 over 2000m, 2 len behind Mr Emerald carrying 57.0kg at $5.90. Overdue for a win. Genuine contender.
