Kyoto Race 9 - Keage Tokubetsu

SORTE AREIA (4) sets the standard after improving into second at Hanshin Dirt, where he was sent out favourite and was only run down late by Sunrise Kevin. His record at this track and distance is sound, he is race fit third-up, and the recent head-to-head line through MACHINE reads in his favour. CHRONUS BULLET (3) is the main danger off a nose second to Gian Barows at Hanshin Dirt, with his previous fourth at Chukyo Dirt keeping the campaign profile solid and his past win at this venue adding weight. MACHINE (6) brings a strong 1800m profile and the Chukyo Dirt win over Abhilasha two back was decisive, though he has to turn around the latest meeting with SORTE AREIA. T M SAO LEVE (12) resumes from a long break but has won two of only three starts, including an ALLOW at this venue before the spell, and that upside keeps him in the winning conversation.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing third in an ALLOW over 2400m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten just under three lengths by Indicator after starting favourite. He had also run third at Chukyo Dirt, only a length and a half from Taisei Addict, and his overall record of three wins and three places from seven starts is very solid. Proven around 1800m and drawn to use his tactical speed, he has genuine place claims fresh.

Worked to the front at Nakayama Dirt last start and kept trying, but third still came with a seven-and-a-half-length margin behind Medici Power at big odds. His Niigata Dirt run prior was a heavy defeat after leading and dropping out. The 1800m record and rider combination read well, yet recent form says he must find a sharper finish to trouble the better chances.

Returns from a five-week freshening after missing by a nose to Gian Barows at Hanshin Dirt, closing off strongly and confirming he is ready to win. His Chukyo Dirt fourth two back was also respectable, beaten just over three lengths. A past win at this track and solid record with Kohei Matsuyama strengthen the case, and he looks a major winning threat if he reproduces that latest finish.

Lifted neatly second-up at Hanshin Dirt, finishing second to Sunrise Kevin after being sent out favourite and only being run down late. The Chukyo Dirt eighth before that was below market expectation, but he now gets to peak third-up and has already won at this track and distance. He also beat Machine in that latest clash, and his profile gives him the strongest winning platform.

Was close enough to run better first-up at Hanshin Dirt but weakened to ninth, beaten over 11 lengths by Sunrise Kevin, with no clear excuse in the run. His previous campaign ended with a sound second in an ALLOW at this venue behind Stop Yearning, and the overall career record remains reliable. He can rebound into a placing, but the latest defeat makes him hard to push as a winning selection.

Put a good win on the board two starts ago at Chukyo Dirt, beating Abhilasha by just over a length after travelling into the race and putting it away cleanly. He then battled into third behind Sunrise Kevin at Hanshin Dirt, five lengths away, with Sorte Areia finishing ahead of him. His 1800m record is strong, and that consistency keeps him firmly among the main winning hopes.

Returns from a six-week freshening after almost stealing one at Niigata Dirt, beaten half a length by B B Agile at big odds. That was a clear step forward from her Fukushima Dirt fifth, where she was beaten over 10 lengths after racing handy and battling. She has a win around 1800m and has placed for Akira Sugawara, so another honest showing would not surprise.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last in a Mdn Steeplechase at Nakayama, never competitive and beaten out of sight by A O King. The Fukushima run prior was also poor, with another last after settling rearward. Class relief and a drop in weight are positives on paper, but his recent form leaves a sizeable turnaround required.

Second-up after being unwanted in the market at Nakayama Dirt, where he settled rearward and finished well held in second last behind J L Modal. His Tokyo Dirt run before the break was no better, finishing last by over 18 lengths at huge odds. The broader career record has some merit, but current form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Returns from a five-month break after a sound second in an ALLOW at this venue, beaten just under two lengths by God Espada when near the top of betting. He had been fourth at this track the run before, beaten just over half a length after leading. The track-and-distance record is useful, but first-up he has to show he can return at that same level.

Comments

Ran a better race at Hanshin Dirt last start when fourth over 2000m, beaten four lengths by Sunrise Oscar despite being big odds. The concern is that it followed an 11th at Chukyo Dirt, where he was well beaten by 24 lengths after fading late. He returns to a more suitable distance range, but three unplaced runs at this track and distance keep him as a rough minor hope.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after winning an ALLOW at this venue, coming from rearward to beat Mercantour by half a length. His run before that was a fifth in Open grade at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just over six lengths, so the short career already carries substance. Two wins from three starts shows clear promise, and if ready off the break he can run a strong race.
