Kyoto Race 1 - Maiden Race
ROUGE EPIC (8) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fourth in a 1800m contest at Hanshin Dirt six weeks ago. Ready to get off the mark. SIENA COLOR (10) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth at this track over 1400m. Can improve sharply and may be worth following up. MACAROON BLUE (3) is a three-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 10 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. NOBLE QUEENDOM (13) debuted eight weeks ago when she finished eighth over 1600m at Chukyo, beaten 6 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under her belt.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 12th of 16 at this track on April 26 over 1200m, 18 len behind Tsarevna with 55.0kg at $148.80. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 4th of 10 at Hanshin Dirt on March 21 over 1800m, 2.75 len behind Clematis carrying 55.0kg at $18.40. Second-up came from midfield; 4th of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on April 4 over 1800m, 8 len behind Petrichor carrying 55.0kg at $5.80. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Kawasaki on May 12 over 1400m, 3 len behind Cardamom Roll carrying 54kg at $2.20. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 14 at Hanshin Dirt on March 29 over 1800m, nose behind Loistaa carrying 55.0kg at $28.30. Strong winning hope.
