Kyoto Race 4 - Maiden Race
THUNDER BIRD (15) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1800m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. ASA RIANT (16) made her debut last start and was just fair in finishing eighth at this track over 1400m, beaten 6 lengths. Watch for a much better performance this time. INFIORATA (11) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Strong winning chance on best figures. ETOILE BOUQUET (1) was safely held on debut last start, finishing 6 lengths behind the winner in eighth over 1800m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement.
