Kyoto Race 3 - Mdn Race
FORTUNA ROSSA (11) Right in contention last time at Hanshin and promising career start. Racing consistently this campaign. Looks to be value. HAMANASUNOSAKUKORO (7) Put together a strong on-speed performance when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last time at Hanshin. Expecting to settle positively. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . RHEIN ELEGANT (4) Nice run when 3rd last start at Chukyo. Has run into the money at every start this preparation. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ILE DE BEAUTE (8) Solid effort to run into 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last start at Hanshin and fitter for debut run. Worth strong consideration.

Returns from a four-month break after a plain debut at Hakodate, where she finished fifth in a six-runner NEWCOMER over 1200m and was beaten over 17 lengths by Shigure. She was big odds there and never looked likely after having many lengths to make up. Barrier 1 is some help, but she has a large amount of improvement to find against runners with stronger recent form.

Led on debut at Hanshin in a 1600m NEWCOMER but faded to finish tenth, beaten four and a half lengths by Ghibli, after starting favourite. That market support and her ¥42.9m sale price suggest she was expected to show more, but there was no clear excuse in the run. Back at 1400m for the first time, she can improve second-up, though the latest effort keeps her in the place bracket.

Placed on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER, finishing third to Bright Script after being unwanted in the market and beaten just under four lengths. The merit is in making the frame in a 16-runner race, though she only battled on rather than attacking the line. From barrier 3 with Ryusei Sakai aboard, she has the right base to hold a place claim if she finds a little more polish.

Returns from a two-month let-up with two placings from as many starts and the right profile for a third-up peak. She was third to Benibana at Chukyo last start, beaten just under a length after picking up well, following a big-odds debut second to Break Away. Already placed twice at this distance and has been respected in the market since, so she sits among the strongest winning chances.

Returns from a three-month break after leading on debut at Chukyo, where she finished fourth in a 1600m NEWCOMER and was beaten three lengths by Susan Cortina as favourite. That was below market expectation, but it was still a fair first race experience and she comes from a capable yard with Yuichi Kitamura engaged. She has to convert that promise into a sharper finish to win, but a placing is within reach.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing sixth on debut at Hanshin over 1800m, beaten just over eight lengths by Lys Gloire. She was prominent enough before fading late and there was no obvious excuse, which leaves the form looking plain. The set-up is different now, but she remains unplaced from one start and must lift sharply to threaten the better-credentialed fillies.

Comes through the race with the most dependable exposed form, placing at both starts and going within just under a length of Mariandel at Hanshin last time. She had earlier run second to Win Galahad at Kokura after tracking the speed and working home evenly. The 1400m is new, but Christophe Lemaire stays with a filly who has done everything right so far and she looks the one they have to beat.

Closed late into third on debut at Hanshin over 1200m, beaten two and a half lengths by Impulse Drive after having the job ahead of her. That was a genuine enough first effort, especially with market respect, but she now tackles 1400m for the first time and still has to prove she can make the required step. She has some upside, though others bring more complete winning claims.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing sixth at her final run before the spell, beaten three and a half lengths by La Jolla Eyes at Chukyo when handy but unable to finish off. Her debut fourth at Kokura was much more disappointing in context, as she was sent out odds-on and beaten over 10 lengths. The early market opinion is a small pointer, but she must return much sharper to win.

Returns from a four-month break after a debut sixth at Kokura in a 1200m NEWCOMER, where she settled rearward and was beaten just over five lengths by Bluechip. She was big odds there and did not make a strong impression late, leaving limited race evidence to support a major turnaround. The profile is still lightly raced, but she has to produce a far more competitive finish.

Hit the line strongly at Hanshin last start and just missed, finishing second to Nix Luna by a neck. That was a clear bounce back from her Sapporo fourth as favourite, where she did not finish it off, and she now looks well placed as a race-fit filly with two placings from three starts. Around 1400m she has already built a solid record, making her a major winning threat.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing third on debut at Sapporo over 1200m, beaten six lengths by Geopark Katsuki. She worked home past weakening rivals, so the placing was useful without being a strong winning reference. The pedigree has depth through Yankee Barows, a G3 winner at 1400m, but her own form still has to improve before she becomes a serious threat.
