Kyoto Race 6 - Allowance Race

AIR ALCINA (2) Resuming. Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last start at Chukyo and can find a nice position from the draw. Will be around the mark at odds. HO O STRIKE (13) First up after a break. Made every post a winner to win by 1 1/4L last start at Niigata. Should muster plenty of early toe. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. BOOM BAP BEAT (4) Got going late when 4th last start at Chukyo. Has the ability to take this out. MARGOT BUDDY (12) Claimed late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last run at Hanshin. Displays good tactical speed. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Key player.

Comments

Resumed with a plain ninth at Hanshin Dirt two weeks ago, beaten over 14 lengths by Yukino Crown after coming under pressure late, and the market showed little confidence. The better reference is his fourth in a 3yo ALLOW at this track when nearer the top of betting. Weight relief and past 1800m placing help, but he has to rebound sharply to force a major result.

Resumes after three months off following a Chukyo Dirt maiden win, where she settled back and finished over them to beat Martingale by two lengths. She is proven at 1800m and has a good record with Kohei Matsuyama, but that win came in maiden grade and her previous Kyoto run was a well-held ninth. This is a sterner test fresh and others bring deeper exposed allowance form.

Led at Hanshin Dirt last start and boxed on evenly for fourth, although the eight-and-a-half-length margin leaves him with ground to make up. His third at Chukyo Dirt two back was more convincing, beaten just over a length after racing handy and fighting on. A track-and-trip win and third-up fitness keep him in the mix as a genuine placing hope.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fourth as favourite at Chukyo Dirt, beaten seven lengths after settling rearward. His prior third behind Star Ship had more merit, and his record at this track and distance is a meaningful strength. With first-time blinkers and proven 1800m form, he remains one of the better winning chances despite that last-start miss.

Improved into fourth at Sapporo Dirt last start, beaten just under a length by The Hunt after travelling in touch and working home fairly. His first run back at Sapporo was only even as favourite, but he is now third-up and arrives with the strongest recent-rating profile in the field. That latest run gives him a solid winning platform.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing seventh at Hakodate Dirt, beaten just over nine lengths at big odds and only working home evenly. He did win a 3yo Maiden at Hakodate Dirt the start before, charging home to beat Meisho Sendo by two lengths, but his overall record is modest and he is unplaced from three at this track and distance. A sizeable lift is required.

Showed more first-up at Hanshin Dirt when sixth, beaten five and a half lengths after leading and being run down late. That was at least a cleaner effort than the 13th at Kokura Dirt, where he was unwanted and beaten over 19 lengths. First-time gear is a possible spark and he has won at the distance, but his recent profile still leaves him with plenty to prove.

Back from a five-month break after ending last campaign with two well-held eighths, the latest at this track in a 3yo ALLOW when beaten nine and a half lengths by Gian Barows. He has won at this venue and the gear change offers some interest, but the recent finishing margins were clear. He is more a rough place hope than a runner to approach with confidence.

Back from a five-month break after finishing eighth at this track, beaten just over seven lengths by Mahatma Bel after conceding a big start. The same pattern appeared at Chukyo Dirt two back, where he was fair late but never close. He has won at 1800m, but his record at this venue is bare and his racing style leaves him with a difficult task.

Resumed with an eighth at Hanshin Dirt, beaten over 12 lengths behind Yukino Crown after making no headway from a difficult position. His previous run was a 3yo Maiden win at this track, beating Green Go by half a length when well fancied. That local win keeps him relevant, but he was clearly behind Margot Buddy last time and is looking more like a place hope.

Finished sixth first-up at Hanshin Dirt over 2000m, beaten nine and a half lengths at big odds, and he never looked likely from well back. His previous run was a 14th at Hanshin, well beaten by 21 lengths after failing to finish off. The move to 1800m is new and his recent-season record is winless, so substantial improvement is required.

Went close at Hanshin Dirt last start, finishing second to Yukino Crown after getting well clear and only being caught late. That followed a third at Nagoya where he was odds-on and just lacked a final kick over 2000m. He is now third-up, suited at 1800m and has an excellent record with Katsuma Sameshima, making him the runner to beat.

Back from a five-month break after a Niigata Dirt maiden win, where he led and beat Koios Tesoro by just over a length. The run before that was a poor 11th at Kokura as favourite, so the profile is not without risk. Still, he has won one of two starts this season and resumes with enough upside to be considered for minor money.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fifth at Chukyo Dirt as a well-supported favourite, beaten a length and a half and picking up well late. His fourth there two back was sound without threatening, and he is now third-up with a win from four starts at around this distance. The beaten-favourite tag tempers confidence, but he has genuine place claims.

Resumes after three months off following a heavy Kokura defeat, finishing second last and beaten over 18 lengths after coming under pressure late. His prior fifth at Hanshin Dirt was also beaten over 13 lengths, so the recent form is well short of what is required. Gear may help, but the last-12-months record points to a tough assignment.

Second-up after a 15th at Hanshin over 1400m, beaten six lengths at huge odds after giving away a big start. His prior ninth at Kokura told a similar story, but the class drop gives him a legitimate chance to reset. The rise back to 1800m carries some query after one unplaced try, yet the easier set-up keeps him in the winning conversation.
