Kyoto Race 4 - Maiden Race
KATHMANDU GOLD (10) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at her last two runs, the latest when third over 2000m at Hanshin, beaten 1.1 lengths. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings. The one to beat. PREZ BHEAN (13) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a neck away in second over 2000m at Hanshin after being in the firing line all the way. Should settle just off the speed again despite the draw and is nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. TITANOMACHIA (6) resumes. Closed last prep with a tenth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt on February 14. Worth noting that she opened the last campaign with a minor placing at this track over 2000m. Sure to be competitive. PANCHA MAHA BHUTA (2) worked home well and finished second last time over 2000m at Hanshin when resuming from a spell, beaten half a length. Will trim down second-up. Will be thereabouts.

Recent form sound. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 16 at Hanshin on April 19 over 2000m, 1.1 len behind Belle Cheval with 55.0kg at $3.90. The run before that 2nd of 18 at Chukyo on March 21 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Lay Classic carrying 55.0kg at $6.20. Ideally placed to play a significant role.

Second-up 14th of 18 at Chukyo on March 21 over 2000m, 16 len behind A Shin Whisper with 55.0kg at $272.10. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
