Kyoto Race 7 - Allowance Race
L'AVENUE (6) resumes as the horse with the strongest exposed class, having been beaten a length and a half when fourth in the G3 Kyodo News Hai at Tokyo after a five-length debut win at the same trip. The eight-month absence is the only real reservation, but his two-start profile gives him clear upside. SARAKOSTH (9) is race fit and brings the most reliable recent pattern, with a close fourth at Hanshin following a Chukyo placing, though he is still chasing a first win at around 1800m. DAICHINO NAPOLI (2) has excellent credentials at this venue after a Listed second in the Shirayuri Stakes and a prior win on this track. MY LITTLE HERO (10) is building neatly third-up, with consecutive thirds and a strong record at this track keeping him firmly in the mix.

Was safely held first-up at Hanshin Dirt, finishing 14th and beaten over 11 lengths after settling well back and never looking likely at big odds. The Kanazawa win prior showed he can quicken when placed right, and Seiya Morita has won on him before, but 1800m is new territory. He has to turn that latest effort around sharply to trouble the main chances.

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with a strong second in the Listed Shirayuri Stakes at this venue, beaten just over a length by Rosa Rugosa after being run down late. She had won on this track the start before and owns a perfect place record at both the course and distance. That profile makes her a major winning threat fresh.

Finished fifth at Hanshin last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Access after being handy enough but unable to finish the race off. The run prior at Kokura had more merit when he worked home from well back for fourth, yet his 1800m record is only one placing from three attempts. Race fitness helps, but others bring sharper winning form.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing tenth at Chukyo Dirt, beaten nine and a half lengths when unwanted in the market and never a factor. Her prior Niigata Dirt seventh was only moderate, and she is untried around 1800m after recent sprinting assignments. With no placing from seven starts in the past 12 months, she has plenty to prove.

Returns from a four-month break after closing last campaign with a nose win in a 3yo Maiden at Hanshin as a well-supported favourite, working into the race and doing enough late. He had earlier finished fifth there behind Enne but still worked home soundly. Already a winner around 1800m, he profiles as a genuine place chance with some upside.

Returns from a lengthy spell with the best class reference in the race, having finished fourth in the G3 Kyodo News Hai at Tokyo, beaten a length and a half by Realize Sirius after starting favourite. His debut win over this distance was decisive, beating Elu Grace by five lengths, and his two-start record points to genuine quality. If forward enough fresh, he is the one they have to beat.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign eighth at Hanshin, beaten six and a half lengths by Narita Esperanza after settling rearward. His Fukushima maiden win before that was sound, making up plenty of ground to beat Aramusha Pyrrhus, but he has not raced around 1800m. He requires a more convincing finish to become a serious factor.

Returns from a two-month let-up after a better seventh at Chukyo, beaten two lengths by Silver Limb, which was a sounder effort than her Kyoto Dirt failure before that. She has won at this track and the booking of Yuichi Kitamura is notable, but she is still winless from three tries around 1800m. A minor placing is more realistic than a bold win call.

Has been building solidly this campaign and was beaten just over half a length when fourth at Hanshin last start behind A Shin Beacon, after being kept near the top of an open market. His Chukyo third two back also reads well, and he has placed twice from four runs at this venue. The 1800m win record is the one knock, but his recent form is strong enough to win this.

Comes into this third-up after consecutive thirds, most recently at Hanshin when beaten just under a length by Access after working into the race strongly. His Chukyo third over 1600m showed similar consistency, and his record at this track is excellent with a win and a placing from two starts. He looks a dependable each-way player rather than just a fringe hope.

Returns from a five-month break after a plain 12th at Niigata, beaten eight and a half lengths by Meiner Ares when never a winning hope. His previous fifth at this venue was better, picking up late behind Erika Endive, and he has won at this track and distance. Even so, the recent form line leaves him needing a sizeable rebound fresh.
