Kyoto Race 8 - The Kyoto High-Jump(J . G2)

NEVIIM (4) was unplaced two starts ago in a G2 steeplechase (3900m) at Hanshin then produced a better result last time when he finished a distant fifth in the Nakayama Grand Jump steeplechase (4260m). Can play a serious role in this less daunting race. SHIHONO SPERANZA (5) returned from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (3350m) at Nakayama, finishing seventh when partnered by today's rider J Takada. Generally goes well second up, with three wins from nine runs. Key runner - don't underestimate. DANON ROCKY (1) returns from a 84-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3390m) at Kokura, beaten 0.8 lengths. Must be considered. MEISHO ATSUITA (3) resumes from a spell of two months. Had just the one run last preparation, finishing fourth in a G2 steeplechase (3900m) at Hanshin. Has found the right to launch this prep.

Having second run back today. Not raced for 56 days. Fresh up after two months raced on the speed throughout before fading finished seventh of 10 starters at Nakayama on March 21 over 3350m, 2.75 len behind Forged Brick with 60.0kg at $1.90. Previously second-up favourite; won by 3.5 len this track on January 10 over 3170m defeating Indigo Black carrying 60.0kg at $4.80 in a steeplechase. Strong chance and expected to feature.
