Kyoto Race 3 - Mdn Race
BENIR L'AVENIR (2) Gave a strong sight when 3rd last run at Hanshin and having second career run. Has shown early pace in races to date. Gets a favourable barrier. Appears as a winning threat. HANANA (5) Backing up quickly for this race. Knocked up when 6th last start at Tokyo. Added confidence jockey with Yuga Kawada doing the steering. Has the ability to figure. PEPTIDE DEVICE (8) Ran on into 4th last run at Nakayama and having second race start. Must respect in this event. ZAKINO SUGAR (7) Came in 6th last time around here but having second race start. Capable of better.

Finished second last on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track only six days ago, beaten over 13 lengths by Gold Krieger after having the job ahead and failing to make ground. The class drop into a Mdn is some help, but he was at long odds and offered no clear excuse. With one unplaced run at the distance and venue, he will have to improve sharply to threaten these.

Made a pleasing debut when third in a NEWCOMER over 2000m at Hanshin, beaten two and a half lengths by Nero Noir after being near the top of an open market. She was safely held late, but that was still the best exposed run in this field and she has already placed at the trip. Drawn to be positive from barrier two, she brings the right profile to convert second-up.

Was well beaten on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track, finishing second last behind Troca Animada after coming under pressure late. He was at long odds and there was no obvious excuse in the run. The ¥9.2m yearling purchase may have more to offer with race experience, but his first effort leaves a sizeable gap to bridge.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fifth on debut in a NEWCOMER at Nakayama, beaten seven and a half lengths by Vetro Tempesta after failing to finish the job. He was big odds there, so market expectations were modest, and he is still unplaced at the distance. The class drop gives him a softer target, but others bring stronger race figures.

Has finished sixth at both starts, most recently at Tokyo when beaten five lengths by Monarch's Valor after sitting just off the leaders and failing to quicken. Her Hanshin debut was similar, beaten just over five lengths in a NEWCOMER while keeping on rather than surging. Race fitness and the third-up profile are positives, but she looks more a place hope than a standout winning chance.

Was beaten out of sight on debut in a NEWCOMER over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, finishing eighth behind Dera Sugoigan after settling with many lengths to make up. He did work home fairly, but was never a winning factor and was unwanted in the market. Now tries around 2000m for the first time, so a major form turnaround is required.

Kept working to finish sixth on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track, beaten just under four lengths by Troca Animada despite starting at long odds. That was not a threatening performance, but it was sound enough in the context of this maiden and he is open to natural second-start improvement. With Atsuya Nishimura aboard, he can press for a minor placing.

Ran fourth on debut in a NEWCOMER over 1800m at Nakayama, beaten just under five lengths by Famous Jazz after settling rearward. He was near the top of betting and beaten as a well-fancied runner, so the market clearly expected more. The move to 2000m is unproven, but the class drop and likely natural improvement keep him firmly in the winning mix.
