Kyoto Race 3 - Mdn Race
LE CRI DE JOIE (9) is the top pick after a sound debut fifth at Hanshin, beaten two and a half lengths by Ghibli in a 15-runner Newcomer while near the top of an open market. The drop into Mdn company reads well and, despite coming back to an untried 1400m, that exposed form gives her the clearest winning profile. AERO CRYSTA (12) has the more consistent record, with two placings from two starts and a previous placing around this distance, though barrier 12 makes him work harder to convert. JUST WANNA FLY (6) resumes off a Sapporo second when beaten a nose by Chika Valiente and has the upside to be right in the decision if he returns in similar order. MEISHO SPARK (5) closed off well for third over 1200m at Hanshin and, third-up, has the right profile to run into the minor money again.

Worked to the line fairly when fifth on debut in a NEWCOMER over 1800m at Hanshin, beaten just under five lengths by King Lear after being unwanted in the market. He now drops into Mdn company and has the inside draw to use his on-pace style, but this is his first look around 1400m. Lightly raced enough to improve, though a place looks the more realistic target at this stage.

Finished seventh on debut in a 1600m NEWCOMER at Hanshin, beaten three lengths by Ghibli after starting at generous odds. He was behind Le Cri De Joie there and did not finish the race off, so the drop back to an untried 1400m is the obvious question. The margin was not severe and Mdn company helps, but he still has to sharpen late to turn that debut into a winning case.

Was last at this track over 1800m a week ago, beaten over 14 lengths by Ippei after settling just off the lead and offering little at long odds. The start prior was no better in Open grade at Kokura, where he was 14th and beaten over 11 lengths after being unwanted in the market. First try around 1400m now, but his exposed form leaves him with plenty to find.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a plain debut on Hanshin Dirt, where he finished sixth in a NEWCOMER but was beaten over 17 lengths by Desert Candle. The market gave him some respect that day, yet he conceded a huge start and was never a factor. Dropping into Mdn company and switching to turf can help the setup, but he must show a much sharper race-day response.

Closed off strongly from a difficult position when third over 1200m at Hanshin last start, albeit beaten five and a half lengths by Novalis at long odds. His debut over 1600m at Chukyo was plain, but the latest run was a clear step towards being competitive. Third-up and race fit, he is untried around 1400m but has enough finish to be a genuine place hope.

Returns from a three-month break after going within a nose at Sapporo, where Chika Valiente only grabbed him late after he started at long odds. That close second was the clear highlight of his first preparation and it sits well against this field, especially with a top-rated last-12-months profile. If he brings that level back fresh, he has the form to take serious holding out.

Has been big odds and safely held in two starts, finishing last at Hanshin over 1600m when beaten just over eight lengths by Mariandel after being close enough in the run. Her debut ninth at Chukyo was also workmanlike rather than threatening. She is third-up and has already raced around 1400m, but her current form points more to a minor-money chance than a winning push.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing eighth on debut in a Chukyo NEWCOMER, beaten just under eight lengths by Ramla Bay. She was considered an outside chance in betting but, after racing just off the pace, could only battle home. The class drop into Mdn grade is a plus and Yuichi Kitamura is a notable booking, yet the first-start effort leaves her with ground to make up.

Produced the right sort of debut when fifth in a Hanshin NEWCOMER over 1600m, beaten two and a half lengths by Ghibli in a 15-runner field. She was near the top of an open market and the form has already tied in through Water Khepri, who finished behind her. The new 1400m trip is the one small query, but the class drop and recent-form rating make her the one to beat.

Returns from a four-month break after a disappointing debut at Hanshin, where he was near the top of betting but finished seventh and was beaten over 11 lengths by Ryutokoyaku. He had runners ahead turning for home and failed to come into the race, so there was no hidden merit in the margin. The move into Mdn company gives him some scope to improve, but he has to repair a plain first impression.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a ninth on Chukyo Dirt, beaten nine and a half lengths by Smart Potion after being close enough to threaten but finding little. Her debut was much worse, finishing sixth and beaten out of sight after leading. She is listed third-up and race fit, yet both exposed runs have been well below the level required to trouble the main hopes.

Has placed in both starts and brings a reliable profile, most recently third over 1600m at Hanshin when beaten four and a half lengths by Break Girl after trying hard from a narrow lead. His debut third at Chukyo was also solid, and he has already placed around 1400m. Barrier 12 is the main obstacle, but his consistency and race fitness keep him right among the winning chances.
