Kyoto Race 10 - Momoyama Stakes

DRAGON (16) looks the one after a decisive win at Hanshin over 1800m last start, beating Sunrise Sugar by 1.25L, and he’d scored by 3L at Kyoto over 1800m prior. LORD VOYAGER (7) brings sharp current form, winning at Kyoto over 1800m on May 9 after leading throughout, and also bolted in at this trip on Feb 15. MAN OF THE MATCH (10) is a key chance off a 2.5L win at Niigata over 1800m and a prior Kokura 1700m success. SANONO WONDER (3) comes off a Nakayama 1800m win, while OLIVE GREEN (1) and MATENRO BRAVE (8) are last-start 1800m winners who can figure. Pace looks genuine with several last-start winners at the trip, suiting the strong finishers named above.

Comes off a 69-day let-up after winning at Hanshin over 1800m on 21 Mar by 1.25L with 58kg at $2.45, settling handy before taking over. Prior run stuck on for 4th at Tokyo over 2100m on 22 Feb, beaten 2.75L at $7.50 after racing on speed from the outside gate. Strong 1800m record (5:3-1-1) and proven at Kyoto with multiple placings. Wide draw but Take sticks and carries 56kg; can feature with the right run.
