Kyoto Race 10 - Sannenzaka Stakes

EPOCH VENUS (16) gets the nod on the strength of a solid Hanshin fourth behind In Vogue, beaten just under a length after picking up nicely in the straight. Her record at this track and distance is a major asset, and she also holds the recent head-to-head over HAGINO ALDEBARAN. TOMMY BAROWS (4) resumes in excellent order on paper, having won both runs last campaign, including a dominant Tokyo success and a Chukyo win as a very short favourite. HAGINO ALDEBARAN (5) is race fit, has been close enough at his past two and brings sound track form, although EPOCH VENUS had his measure at Hanshin. AVION (7) returns with an unbeaten rider partnership, outstanding mile figures and a last-start Hanshin win by three lengths, so her lightly raced profile gives her genuine winning depth.

Was safely held first-up at Nakayama, finishing eighth behind Sound Move and beaten over 12 lengths after being unable to make headway. The Kokura run prior was also plain, when eighth at big odds behind Nebra Disk. He has won at this track and trip and gets weight relief, but eight unplaced runs in the past 12 months leave him with plenty to turn around.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with two well-held Hanshin runs, the latest a seventh behind Mitono Orfe when unwanted in the market. He is proven at this distance with two wins and two placings from eight attempts, but three unplaced runs at this track and that plain closing form make this a demanding fresh assignment.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a sound first-up fourth at Sapporo, where he was in touch before working home fairly and finishing four lengths from Watashi Matsuwa. He had contested the G1 NHK Mile Cup two back, so this is a more suitable level, and his two wins at around 1600m give him a firm platform to rebound strongly.

Returns from a three-month break with an excellent recent profile, having won at Chukyo as a dominant odds-on favourite after making strong late ground. He had earlier won a 3yo ALLOW at Tokyo by six lengths, and the record with Ryusei Sakai is another clear plus. Proven at this track and distance, he has the form to give this a real shake fresh.

Comes in race fit after finishing seventh behind In Vogue at Hanshin, beaten three and a half lengths after settling rearward. His Niigata fifth prior was better than the market expected, and he has one win and two placings from six starts at this track. Meets Epoch Venus again after that Hanshin clash, but his overall setup keeps him firmly in the winning mix.

Returns from a two-month let-up after being beaten a long way on dirt at Sapporo, where she finished second last behind I Will. The Kokura Dirt run prior was also well below the required level. Her overall record is better than those two runs suggest and she gets a light weight, but recent evidence leaves her with a significant task.

Returns from a four-month break with a faultless recent record, last seen winning by three lengths at Hanshin after travelling on speed and letting down strongly. That followed another Hanshin win in 3yo ALLOW grade, and Yuji Hishida has been aboard for all three career wins. With three wins and a placing from four mile runs, she is a serious fresh threat.

Back from four months off after finishing tenth at Hakodate, beaten just under five lengths behind Caterina, with little finish in the run home. Her previous Hanshin effort was no better, but the case improves markedly around this track and distance, where she has two wins and two placings from five starts. That gives her a realistic place platform fresh.

Has been unable to make an impact in two runs this campaign, finishing 11th behind In Vogue at Hanshin after failing to finish off. Her Sapporo sixth prior was also only fair and came at big odds. The track-and-trip background is sound, but she is unplaced in six starts across the past 12 months and must find a sharper closing effort.

Was ninth behind In Vogue at Hanshin first-up, beaten just under four lengths at big odds after failing to quicken. That was a clear improvement on his heavy Kokura defeat, and the first-time blinkers add interest with Naho Furukawa back aboard. He still has no win from eight runs around 1600m, so he profiles more as a place hope than a solid win bet.

Returns from a six-month spell after winning a 4yo+ ALLOW at this track, edging Shonan Baldr as a well-supported favourite. She had been competitive at Hanshin the run before when fourth to More Rigid, beaten a length. One win and two placings from three starts at this track and distance make her a genuine fresh place chance.

Returns from a three-month break after a flat Chukyo run, finishing last behind Hawaiian Tiare and beaten just under nine lengths. He had also settled back and made limited impression at Tokyo the start prior. Yutaka Take back aboard and a minor track-and-distance placing are positives, but the recent form line demands a clear turnaround.

Back from three months off after a comfortable Kokura win over Tenter De Vivre, where she held the front and extended by two lengths. Her previous run at this venue was less convincing, as she was swamped late and beaten just over five lengths. A light weight and Manabu Sakai returning help, so she can be competitive for a minor cheque.

Resumes after three months off, last seen finishing fourth at Chukyo behind Hawaiian Tiare and beaten just under a length in a solid effort. She was sixth at this venue over 1400m before that, but her wider record is respectable with two wins and two placings from seven runs at the mile. Capable of running well, though others bring stronger winning profiles.

Was well beaten second-up at Nakayama, finishing tenth behind Sound Move and beaten over 14 lengths after giving away a big start. The run prior was a win in 4yo+ ALLOW grade at this track, when he worked home over the top of Dagger Ring, so the venue suits. Even so, the latest defeat was too plain to overlook against this field.

Ran right up to winning standard at Hanshin last start, finishing fourth behind In Vogue and beaten just under a length after picking up nicely in the straight. Her Chukyo seventh prior was also close enough, and she has two wins and three placings from nine starts at this track and distance. Race fit, well suited and coming through the right form, she is the one to beat.

Comments

Back after two months on the sidelines following a solid Niigata fourth behind Cave Pearl, beaten just under two lengths at long odds. She had also finished fourth at Kokura behind Nebra Disk, though Hagino Aldebaran had her measure there. The race-fit profile is sound, but being unplaced at her only distance attempt keeps her to place calculations.
