Kyoto Race 10 - Tachibana Stakes(L)
SPE LUCE (5) finished second when resuming two runs back at Nakayama then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 1600m at Nakayama. Promising galloper. At top and looks a leading chance to go back to back. TAGANO ARALIA (4) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1400m in the G3 Falcon Stakes at Chukyo. Big finish fresh to finish fourth in stronger company. Unbeaten second-up. Clear danger. KELHEIM (1) has not raced since she finished fourth over 1200m at Hanshin on February 28. Promising type who ran fourth this grade before a spell. Can go on with the job this prep. VOGEL (6) was well held over 1400m in the G3 Falcon Stakes at Chukyo last time out. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Can feature in the finish.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Kasamatsu on March 5 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Mimosa No Kisetsu with 57kg at $3.70. Second run from a spell sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 12 at Kanazawa on April 7 over 1400m, 1.2 len behind Mimosa No Kisetsu carrying 57kg at $3.10. Looks tested despite the low draw.

Comes here off a 50-day let-up. Most recently 11th of 13 at Nakayama on March 21 over 1600m, 13 len behind Spe Luce with 54.0kg at $526.50. The race before that sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 8 at Hanshin on March 1 over 2000m, 17 len behind Congestus with 54.0kg at $144.40. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.
