Kyoto Race 5 - Kyoto 3Yo Maiden
BELONG TO ME (10) continued the fine form with a third two starts ago over 1600m at Chukyo. Things fell apart more recently when she failed to complete the course at this track. On the quick back-up and well worth another chance. G T UTAMARO (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1800m at Hanshin after being in the firing line on the bend. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. SNOWSCAPE (5) is a three-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Frankel from the former top race mare Shadow Hunter. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Promising type who is worth considering if popular in betting. RAMIEL NO MUSUKO (7) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at this track. Solid top-three hope.

Last start 6th of 14 at Nakayama Dirt on April 12 over 1800m, 12 len behind Arde Kingdom carrying 57.0kg at $17.50. The race before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 16 at Kokura on March 1 over 1800m, 5.5 len behind Ecru with 57.0kg at $3.50. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
