Kyoto Race 2 - Mdn Race
HOSHIO MITE RUNNA (11) has the cleanest profile, having filled second at both starts and holding a 100% place record at this distance. He was beaten five lengths as a well-supported favourite last time, so the win still has to come, but his exposed form is the most reliable in the field. KEIAI TORINO (4) is the main danger after placing on debut and then making up good ground when fourth at Hanshin over 2000m; the untried 1800m setup is the query, though third-up fitness helps. LE BOIS (10) has been beaten similar margins in two runs, yet he kept working last start and is rated to improve third-up, while SATONO STELLA (12) can sharpen second-up after a sixth on debut over 2000m, provided he offers more late than he did first time out.

Returns from a four-month break after a very plain debut at Kokura Dirt, where she finished second last in a NEWCOMER and was well beaten by 29 lengths behind Takeru Legend. She started at big odds, settled rearward and gave further ground late, so there was little in the run to build around. Fresh improvement is required before she becomes a serious factor.

Kept to the task without threatening when fifth on debut at Hanshin Dirt, beaten nine and a half lengths by Yamanin Galbe after being unwanted in the market. That NEWCOMER experience should bring him on to some degree and the class drop is a small help, but the first run left him with plenty to find against the stronger exposed form.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fourth on debut at Chukyo Dirt, though the position flatters him as he was never competitive and was beaten out of sight behind Pham Viet Chanh. He did not quicken and started at big odds, so the bare form is hard to recommend. A much sharper fresh performance is required.

Returns from a one-month let-up after closing off well for fourth over 2000m at Hanshin, beaten just over six lengths by Shonan Vatreni. He had earlier run third on debut at Chukyo, beaten a length and a half by Kitten's Craft, so the form base is sound. The untried 1800m is the one question, but third-up fitness and consistent ratings make him a strong winning chance.

Has been safely held in all three starts, including a 12th at this track last time when beaten over 13 lengths by Pair Star Road after giving away a big start. He was also beaten over 15 lengths at Hanshin Dirt the run prior and now tries 1800m for the first time. Race fitness is in his favour, but the recent figures leave him hard to support.

Finished last on debut at Hanshin in a NEWCOMER over 1600m, beaten seven and a half lengths by Ghibli after settling back and making no impression. The market gave little encouragement, so there is a clear performance gap to close. The class drop and extra experience give him some scope to improve into a minor placing, rather than mark him as a leading win hope.

Returns from a four-month break after a difficult debut at Kokura, where he finished second last in a NEWCOMER and was beaten over 19 lengths by World Angel. He was sent out at big odds and could not make any headway, so the race form is thin. The light 52kg is useful, but he still has to show far more before being considered a win threat.

Was sixth on debut at Hanshin Dirt but was well beaten by Andre Barows, conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The long-odds SP tells the same story, and he remains unplaced from one start at this distance. Second-up improvement is possible from a lightly raced gelding, but he must show a far stronger racing edge.

Finished last on debut at Hanshin, beaten over 18 lengths by King Lear after giving away a big start and never getting into the picture. That is plainly short of what is required, but she is only second-up and gets a leading jockey aboard, which at least gives her a path to improve. Place prospects depend on a much cleaner performance.

Kept working when fifth at Hanshin Dirt last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Bell Wood Wataru after having the job ahead. He was a similar margin away on debut at Sapporo Dirt, but third-up fitness and a positive distance rating keep him in the mix. The recent loss to Hoshio Mite Runna is a hurdle, yet he has enough profile to be a genuine chance.

Has placed at both starts and brings the most dependable exposed form, finishing second to Bell Wood Wataru at Hanshin Dirt after again holding his ground. Being beaten as a well-supported favourite is a small knock, but he had also run second on debut at Chukyo Dirt and has placed two from two at this distance. Third-up, he sets the clear benchmark.

Made debut at Hanshin over 2000m and finished sixth, beaten just over nine lengths by Nero Noir after giving very little late. He was at generous odds rather than ignored, and the stable profile suggests improvement second-up is realistic. The drop to an untried 1800m brings some risk, but he can work into the placings with natural improvement.
