Kyoto Race 1 - Mdn Race
NAOMIGA SAIKYO (1) Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 4L last run at Hanshin and drawn beautifully. Should muster plenty of early toe. Capable of taking this out. MARINER VALLEY (3) Picked up some ground to run 5th last start at the track. Should race on the speed. Can figure. WIN BREEZE (6) Ran 11th last run at the track but was a debutant last start. Expecting to settle positively. Exotics and place contender. APPLE PEAR (5) Below par performance when 13th last start here but was a debutant last start. Displays good tactical speed. Will have to carry extra weight. Could be a value selection.

Resumed with a solid second at Hanshin Dirt, beaten four lengths by Book Of Kells after working home evenly at generous odds. That was a clear step forward from her debut fifth in a NEWCOMER, where she settled rearward and was beaten over 11 lengths by Chloris. Already placed at this distance and rated strongest on recent form, she has the most dependable profile and should take beating.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a difficult debut at Hanshin Dirt, where she finished second last in a NEWCOMER and was beaten out of sight by Once For You at long odds. She was miles back and failed to improve, with no clear excuse in the run. The class drop is some help, but she is untried around 1800m and has plenty to find.

Kept grinding away for fifth at Kyoto last start, beaten just over six lengths by Batik after settling rearward as an outside chance in the betting. Her debut at Fukushima was also sound enough, finishing fifth and beaten four and a half lengths by Cirque Du Mars after racing handy. The 1800m record is still unconvincing, but her two runs give her enough substance to be a winning threat.

Returns from a lengthy three-month spell after finishing second last on debut at Chukyo, beaten over 16 lengths by Ramla Bay when big odds and unable to get into the race. The class drop brings her into a more suitable assignment, and the family includes winners over this sort of distance. She still has to produce a much cleaner first-up performance to turn that background into a placing.

Finished 13th on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER, beaten over 15 lengths by Miho Maru after settling a long way back and making no impression. She was big odds there and rises 4kg from that first run, so the task is not easier on exposed evidence. The class drop is the one positive, but she will have to improve sharply at around 1800m.

Started near the top of an open market on debut at this track, so there was clearly some respect, but she finished 11th and was beaten over 15 lengths by Himehakka after never looking likely. That market profile leaves room for improvement with the run behind her, and the class drop is a plus. Untried around 1800m, she profiles more as a place chance than a firm win play.

Was safely held on debut at this track, finishing second last and beaten a long way by Miho Maru after being miles back and failing to improve. The market gave little encouragement at big odds, and she is another with no prior run around 1800m. A class drop gives her some chance to show more, but the exposed form leaves others ahead.

Finished second last on debut at Kyoto, beaten over 18 lengths by Cutie Bond after settling miles back and failing to improve. The pedigree has quality through Yamakatsu Ace, and the class drop may help her show more at start two. Even so, the debut figure was plain and she has to make a sizeable leap to threaten the main chances.
