Kyoto Race 11 - Opal Stakes(L)
DIANASAAL (18) is the top selection despite being beaten as favourite in the G3 CBC Sho, where he was never a winning chance but still worked home fairly. His earlier third at this venue behind Flicker Jab reads well for this, and his overall record of four wins from eight starts gives him the right profile to rebound. LILY JOIE (6) is the danger on class and upside, with three wins from five starts and a perfect two-from-two record at this track, though 1200m is new to her after recent mile runs. HISHI ISLAY (10) resumes with excellent 1200m credentials, having finished second in the G3 Aoi Stakes at this track and placed at all three runs at the distance. RED EVANS (8) brings consistent sprint form, was third to FROM DUSK in the G3 CBC Sho and has two wins and eight placings from 14 starts around 1200m, making him a genuine winning threat if he produces his Chukyo run again.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing eighth in the Listed Toki Stakes at Niigata, beaten just under a length after failing to finish it off. Two back she was fifth in the Listed Azuchijo Stakes at this venue, beaten two and a half lengths after looming without going on. The return to 1200m is not new, with two wins at the trip, but recent winning form is thin.

Kept to the task when fifth at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten a length and a half, but the market wanted little to do with him. His previous run was a plain 14th at Fukushima Dirt, beaten seven and a half lengths from a rearward position. The 1200m record is respectable, yet he is back into a deeper black-type assignment and has to lift sharply.

Was safely held in the G2 Centaur Stakes at Hanshin, finishing 14th and beaten over 11 lengths after settling well back. His sixth in the G3 CBC Sho at Chukyo two back was more credible, beaten three and a half lengths, and his 1200m record of two wins and four placings from eight starts keeps him in the mix for minors. A rebound is required, but he has place substance.

Worked home well from big odds when sixth in the G2 Centaur Stakes at Hanshin, beaten just over four lengths behind Flicker Jab. That followed a narrow 3yo+ Allow win at Fukushima, where she beat Morden by a nose as favourite. She drops to 53kg and has won two of three around 1200m, so there is enough in the profile to make her a rough each-way player.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a plain 13th in the G3 CBC Sho at Chukyo, beaten just over five lengths at long odds. The run prior was last in the G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen, beaten over 16 lengths, so the recent profile is hard to warm to. A past win at this track and distance is a plus, but she must rediscover her sharper sprint form.

Returns from a two-month freshening after failing to fire in the G3 Chukyo Kinen over 1600m, beaten seven lengths. Her G1 Oka Sho run before that was also below her market expectation, yet the broader record is strong: three wins from five starts and two wins from two at this venue. The first attempt at 1200m is the query, but her class and track profile make her a major player.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a 3yo+ Allow win at Kokura, beating Baby Kiss by just under two lengths after quickening impressively. The run before that was a 13th at this track over 1400m, beaten just under six lengths at big odds. At eight, and stepping into black-type company, he will have to produce a clear career-best fresh.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a solid third in the G3 CBC Sho at Chukyo, beaten just over two lengths behind From Dusk when near the top of an open market. Before that he won over 1400m at Tokyo, scoring narrowly from Caught Alliciant. His 1200m record is reliable and the gear change is flagged positively, giving him a strong chance to hold that form.

Finished tenth in the G2 Centaur Stakes at Hanshin, beaten just under six lengths after giving away a start and running on without threatening. He was 16th in the G3 CBC Sho two back, beaten just under seven lengths at long odds. The jockey record is a positive, but he is unplaced from three starts at this track and distance and must find more authority late.

Returns from a five-month break after a strong second in the G3 Aoi Stakes at this track, beaten a neck by Dea Veloce. He had earlier been run down late by Tamamo Icarus in Listed grade at Hanshin after starting a well-supported favourite. With a win and two placings from three runs around 1200m, his fresh profile is backed by genuine sprint form.

Returns from a three-month spell after closing last campaign with an 11th in the G3 Kitakyushu Kinen at Kokura, beaten over 10 lengths after offering little. His previous sixth at this venue was better but still came at long odds and he did not finish the race off. A past track-and-trip win is noted, though his past-year form says he has plenty to turn around.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing last in the Listed Toki Stakes at Niigata, beaten seven and a half lengths when unwanted in the market. He was also tenth at this venue two back, beaten just over five lengths after working home evenly. Four wins from ten around 1200m are a positive, but the current form line is a significant hurdle.

Improved sharply when fourth in the G2 Centaur Stakes at Hanshin, beaten three lengths by Flicker Jab at big odds. That was a better effort than his 11th in the G3 CBC Sho, where he settled prominently before fading late. He has placed twice from three runs at this track and distance, but the winning strike-rate remains modest for a race of this depth.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a disappointing ninth on Niigata Dirt, beaten seven and a half lengths when prominent in betting but never likely. His previous ninth in the G3 Kitakyushu Kinen was also well held. The track-and-distance record is respectable and M Demuro is one from one on him, but recent form makes him hard to support confidently.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a strong fifth in the Listed Toki Stakes at Niigata, beaten only a neck after picking up well. His seventh in the G3 Aoi Stakes at this venue two back was sound enough, though he was beaten by Hishi Islay that day as favourite. With two wins from three starts at this track and Listed winning form, he is a live danger.

Returns from a two-month freshening after causing an upset in the G3 CBC Sho at Chukyo, beating Rapier by two lengths after picking up strongly. His previous fifth at this venue behind Flicker Jab had also hinted at improvement. He beat Red Evans and Dianasaal last time, but an unplaced record from three track-and-distance attempts keeps him more a place hope than a banker.

Could not make headway when 11th in the G2 Centaur Stakes at Hanshin, beaten just over seven lengths. His third in the G3 Kitakyushu Kinen two back was much stronger, beaten just over half a length, and his 1200m record is deep with five wins and nine placings. Even so, at eight and off a flat latest run, he has to bounce back strongly.

Returns from a two-month freshening after being beaten as favourite in the G3 CBC Sho at Chukyo, finishing ninth and beaten four and a half lengths after working home fairly without threatening. His previous third at this venue behind Flicker Jab was stronger, and his overall record of four wins from eight starts is clearly above average. With Yuga Kawada aboard, he can rebound and take this out.
