Kyoto Race 9 - Rindo Sho
VIVERONE (6) has the strongest exposed 1400m profile after winning by two and a half lengths at Chukyo as an odds-on favourite, having also worked home well for third on debut at Hanshin. She is lightly raced, proven at the distance and brings the clearest upward line. RAMLA BAY (7) is the main danger, returning from a three-month break after winning a 2yo Newcomer at Chukyo by just over a length and showing strength through the line. GAL'S MIND (3) has race fitness and winning form after a stylish Sapporo 1200m maiden success, with her previous 1400m placing helping offset the step back to this journey. SHONAN KA NOA (5) resumes off a respectable sixth in the G3 Hakodate Nisai Stakes and had won a Hakodate maiden the start prior, though she is yet to race at around 1400m.

Returns from a six-week let-up after landing a 2yo Maiden at Chukyo, where she was sent out prohibitive odds-on favourite and picked up sharply to win by a neck. Her debut third behind Ramla Bay reads well enough, with the beaten margin just over a length, and she has yet to miss the placings. The prior defeat to a key rival keeps her more in the place mix than as the main winning hope.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a nose win in a 2yo Maiden at Niigata, having driven hard late as favourite. Her debut third at Fukushima was also sound, but both runs came at shorter trips and she has not raced at around 1400m before. The record is tidy, though this asks for a new level of performance.

Back after five weeks following a Sapporo 2yo Maiden win, where she loomed up and showed good dash to score by just over a length. She had earlier worked home evenly for third on debut behind Blue Jay, so the two-start record is sound. The extra ground is still a point to prove, but she has placed at around 1400m and shapes as a genuine minor-placing chance.

Four weeks after a Nakayama 2yo Maiden win, she brings a sharper profile than on debut, holding on by just under a length after being generous odds. That was a clear step up from her first run at Fukushima, when seventh and beaten just over eight lengths at long odds. She has not raced at around 1400m before, so further progress is required to trouble the stronger chances.

Returns from a three-month break after closing last campaign with a respectable sixth in the G3 Hakodate Nisai Stakes, beaten just under four lengths after picking up nicely in the straight. The run prior, she won a Hakodate 2yo Maiden by a nose from Arte Queen. She has not raced at around 1400m, but the stakes exposure gives her claims for the minor money.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a dominant Chukyo 2yo Maiden win, making up ground strongly and scoring by two and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite. Her debut third at Hanshin, beaten just over a length behind Top Checker, gave the form a sound base, and she is already one from one at this distance. Lightly raced and progressive, she sets the standard.

Returns from a three-month break after winning a 2yo NEWCOMER at Chukyo on debut, scoring by just over a length from Batik when near the top of betting. She was strong through the line that day, already owns a 1400m win, and the family depth is notable as a full sister to Group 2 winner Mozu Meimei. With that debut form holding up, she is a serious winning threat.

Returns from a six-week let-up after leading throughout to win a Sonoda 2yo COND over 820m by four lengths as an odds-on favourite. She had also placed on debut there, so the record is clean, but both runs were in very different conditions and she has not raced at around 1400m. This is a much sterner examination of her credentials.
