Kyoto Race 2 - Maiden Race
MEISHO KOSHU (3) is a two-start maiden who filled a minor placing at this track at the only run of last prep back in October. Has the benefit of a low draw. Looks the one to beat. BELLAGIO VALLELE (7) stepped out for his debut over 1800m at Kyoto back on January 4 and finished 11th, beaten 8 lengths. Might pay to follow reverting to the dirt track this time. LORD STELLATO (11) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1800m at Niigata Dirt after being in contention on the corner. Should be in the finish again. TAMAMO SKY (10) debuted over 1800m at this track two weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 9 lengths. Will take a lot from that run and is worth following up.

Recent form sound. Last start ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Niigata Dirt on May 9 over 1800m, 14 len behind Best Brothers with 57.0kg at $4. The run before that 4th of 11 at Nakayama Dirt on April 18 over 1800m, 3 len behind Saudi Ballad carrying 57.0kg at $4.80. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.
