Kyoto Race 9 - Nadeshiko Sho
SKY METEOR (6) showed good speed over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt and led throughout to score. Same rider aboard and he is expected to take some catching again. YU LIKE STAR (9) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt five weeks ago. Looks promising and can repeat the dose. PHILIPPEVILLE (4) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt five weeks ago. He meets a deeper field here, but has more to offer. PAIR STAR ROAD (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 3.5 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a break last time out. This is harder, but he is up to the challenge.

Returns from a 56-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the speed throughout before fading 9th of 12 at Sapporo on August 29 over 1200m, 6 len behind World Angel with 55.0kg at $8.40. Before that won by 2.5 len at Fukushima Dirt on July 19 over 1150m defeating Dona Big Ben with 55.0kg at $1.10. Not one of the top selections.

Second run back. First-up after three months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 3.5 len win at this track on October 3 over 1400m defeating Golden Ratio carrying 56.0kg at $4.50. Previously second-up 10th of 14 at Fukushima on July 11 over 1800m, 7 len behind Leontios with 55.0kg at $4.30. Don't underestimate.

She is resuming after a three months break. Finished off last preparation winning to post a big 3.5 len win. Sapporo Dirt July 26 over 1000m defeating Iris Rosso with 55.0kg at $1.80. On debut second of 11 at Hakodate Dirt June 20 over 1000m, 5 len behind Noriyan Moanin with 55.0kg at $3.30. Unlikely to threaten.
