Kyoto Race 10 - Jurakudai Tokubetsu
HOSHO LUX (9) Fresh after a break. Was overpowered late when 3rd last time at Kokura and good career start. Should be rolling forward early from the wide gate. Looks promising in this race. POD VOLK (3) Couldn't maintain the pace when 9th last time at Hanshin. Expected to rebound. Respect against this field. SHOW DANCER (4) Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at this track. Can get the job done. JO TARUMAE (8) Couldn't stay in touch when 8th last run at this track. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Sound chances.

Returns from a four-month break after a plain finish to the last campaign, when sixth at Hakodate Dirt and beaten over 10 lengths behind Charlie at long odds. The run prior was also a sixth at Hakodate Dirt, beaten six and a half lengths by Chigiri, with no clear excuse. He has won twice around 1800m, but recent exposed form leaves him with plenty to find.

Finished sixth at Hanshin Dirt last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Sunrise Oscar after settling rearward and starting at long odds. His previous sixth at Chukyo Dirt was more competitive, beaten just under five lengths, and he did beat Pod Volk at Hanshin Dirt a couple of weeks ago. Back to a trip where he has won, he shapes as a realistic place hope rather than a strong win play.

Was safely held first-up at Hanshin Dirt, finishing ninth behind Sunrise Oscar and beaten over 11 lengths after being in position to do better. That has to be weighed against his strong record at this track and distance, with one win and four placings from eight attempts, and Yuji Nakai has won twice on him. If he tightens second-up, he has the right profile to rebound sharply.

Produced the best recent pointer when third at this track last start, beaten a length and a half by Sistema Solar after knuckling down late at generous odds. He had already shaped well first-up at Hanshin Dirt, finishing fourth and beaten just under three lengths by Gian Barows. With one win and two placings from four starts at this track and distance, he gets his chance to turn consistent form into a win.

Was never a factor when ninth at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths behind Sistema Solar at big odds. His first-up run at Hanshin Dirt was weaker again, finishing 12th and beaten over 14 lengths after tracking the speed without quickening. Unplaced in all nine starts in the past 12 months, he will have to lift sharply to threaten these.

Finished second last at Hanshin Dirt last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Sunrise Oscar after giving away a big start and never entering the contest. The run prior at Chukyo Dirt was also poor, beaten a long way after tracking the speed. He has a minor track-and-distance placing on the record, but current form is well short of the standard required.

Failed to get involved first-up at this track, finishing 11th behind Sistema Solar and beaten just over nine lengths after conceding a big start. Her previous run at Hanshin Dirt was another soundly beaten ninth, with the market also cold there. A winning rider returns, but she has been unplaced in all six runs over the past 12 months and must improve significantly.

Led and faded when eighth at this track first-up, beaten five and a half lengths by Sistema Solar after looking in the contest before the turn. He was also eighth at Chukyo Dirt before a break, despite starting near the top of betting. His overall strike rate is modest, but four placings in the past 12 months and a long association with Ryota Sameshima keep him in the minor-money conversation.

Returns from a four-month break with a strong early record, having won two of four and placed once. She was third at Kokura Dirt before the spell, beaten just over five lengths by Shonan Banrai, after beating Joan by a neck there in a well-supported open market. A previous win at this track and the return of Fuma Matsuwaka add further appeal, making her a clear danger fresh.

Resumes after a three-month break following a solid second at Chukyo Dirt, where he was beaten two and a half lengths by Dantsu Shitan at long odds. His previous run at Kokura Dirt was less convincing, beaten just under nine lengths after conceding a big start. He is proven at the distance and has won at this track and trip, so he can run well fresh without looking the main winning threat.
