Kyoto Race 8 - Allowance Race

GOD ESPADA (3) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. Best figures stack up and expected to go close. WIDE KRIEGER (6) went forward when resuming last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt and held on well for second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. JO TARUMAE (7) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Won't find this as tough so he is likely to play a big role. RED BOB (2) gave a sight before fading late over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt at his latest appearance eight weeks ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be thereabouts.

Entire returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign fifth of 10 at this track January 11 over 1900m, 4 len behind Kichi Parfait with 57.0kg at $3.10. When resuming last campaign second of 14 at Hanshin Dirt December 13 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Porpora Ziel with 57.0kg at $2.70. Goes well here and looks close to a win. Excellent chance.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently 9th of 11 at Hanshin Dirt on April 12 over 1800m, 11 len behind Smart Kairos carrying 58.0kg at $5.60. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Nakayama Dirt on March 15 over 2400m, 4 len behind Long Way Home carrying 58.0kg at $4.70. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Recent form sound. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 9 at this track on May 3 over 1800m, 1.5 len behind Levante City carrying 58.0kg at $11.90. Before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 4th of 14 at Hanshin Dirt on March 28 over 2000m, 2.25 len behind Gylfi carrying 58.0kg at $6.10. Further improvement is anticipated.
