Kyoto Race 2 - Maiden Race
Lots of these close to getting off the mark. LUPO (6) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished third over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Placed fresh as well and looks the one to beat here. SATONO ROSALIE (2) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1200m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Fitter and looks hard to beat. ZAKINO FRIENDS (14) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt when he was in the firing line all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MELLIFLUOUS (5) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Overdue for a win and another who should be in the finish.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 14 at Nakayama Dirt on April 18 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Bear Go For with 55.0kg at $2.80. The race before that 3rd of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on February 22 over 1200m, 4 len behind Zenno Photon with 55.0kg at $5.70. Long overdue. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
