Kyoto Race 11 - The Kikuka Sho (Japanese St.leger)(G1)

LOVCEN (8) sets the standard after adding the G2 Kobe Shimbun Hai (Japanese St Leger Trial) to his G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) win, each by a nose, and his overall record of five wins and one placing from six starts gives him the strongest exposed profile. Looking to be just the ninth to win the Triple Crown (latest was Contrail) and fancy he is the right type to add his name to the history books. CONGESTUS (2) was only beaten a length and a half behind LOVCEN at Hanshin and has already won at this track, so he is a genuine danger despite trying 3000m for the first time. DANON HISTORY (10) brings a different profile, resuming after dominant wins over 2600m at Hakodate and Sapporo. Put up an eight-length margin last time; the question is the rise into G1 company rather than his staying promise. JUSTIN CHICAGO (5) beat the Nakayama trial form by a length in the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen. He's one well set for this and seems sure to run well.

Comments

Returns off a five-week let-up after a sound fifth in the G2 Kobe Shimbun Hai (Japanese St Leger Trial) at Hanshin, beaten just under a length by Lovcen at big odds. His G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) effort prior was plainer when 14th, beaten six and a half lengths after failing to come into the race. The first try at 3000m looks within his range and he has place credentials on the latest run.

Returns off a five-week let-up after finishing sixth in the G2 Kobe Shimbun Hai (Japanese St Leger Trial) at Hanshin, beaten a length and a half by Lovcen after tracking the speed and not quite finishing it off. His G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) ninth was also close enough, beaten two and a half lengths. A previous win at this track and three wins from five starts keep him right in the race.

Resumes after six weeks off the back of a solid third in the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial) at Nakayama, beaten a length and a half by Justin Chicago after settling rearward. He was 11th in the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) prior, but that margin was still under four lengths. With two wins and three places from six starts, he profiles as a place hope.

Comments

Has been safely held at both recent starts, finishing 11th in the Listed PORT ISLAND STAKES at Hanshin and 12th in the G3 Radio Nikkei Sho at Fukushima. He was at long odds last start and has been unplaced in all five runs in the past 12 months, so the broader form pattern is against him. A sharp turnaround is required to threaten at this level.

Resumes after six weeks off a career-best win in the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial) at Nakayama, beating Savoire Faire by a length despite being at long odds. That followed an effortless ALLOW win at Tokyo, where he beat Shin Dream Shin by two and a half lengths. The new 3000m trip is the only clear question, but winning form and his jockey record are strong assets.

Resumes after six weeks off a disappointing 13th in the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial), beaten six lengths by Justin Chicago after settling back and making no impression. The run prior was far better when third in the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby), beaten just under a length by Lovcen. He must return to that peak immediately to be competitive.

Resumes after six weeks following a seventh in the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial) at Nakayama, beaten just over three lengths by Justin Chicago after failing to finish it off. His G1 Satsuki Sho effort was similar, beaten three and a half lengths at big odds. With two unplaced runs from two starts at this track, others bring stronger claims.

Returns off a five-week let-up in outstanding form, having won the G2 Kobe Shimbun Hai (Japanese St Leger Trial) at Hanshin as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He had earlier won the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) at Tokyo, again by a nose, after finishing over the top of them. Chases the Triple Crown (would be the ninth to ever do it) and stands out as the star colt of his generation.

Resumes after six weeks since finishing sixth as favourite in the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial), beaten two and a half lengths by Justin Chicago. His G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) fourth reads well, beaten just under a length by Lovcen, and he has a Group 2 win on the record. Think he will stay the trip under the great Take.

Returns from a three-month break after two dominant ALLOW wins over 2600m, most recently beating Jun Tsubamegaeshi by eight lengths at Sapporo as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He also won by a long way at Hakodate, so the staying profile is clear. This is a sharp rise into black-type company and 3000m is new, but his upside makes him a major winning chance.

Resumes after six weeks following a solid fourth in the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial) at Nakayama, beaten just under two lengths by Justin Chicago. His G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) tenth was respectable without threatening, and he has placed at this track and in Group 1 company. He looks more a place chance than a clear winning threat.

Resumes after six weeks since an 11th in the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial), beaten four and a half lengths by Justin Chicago when never a winning hope. He had won the G3 Radio Nikkei Sho at Fukushima prior, beating Deal Maker by just over a length. That gives him black-type quality, but he has to lift from the latest effort.

Returns off a five-week let-up after winning an ALLOW over 2500m at Nakayama, beating Norari Kurari by a length and a half near the top of an open market. He had been beaten a nose over 2600m at Fukushima prior, so his recent staying form is tidy. The clear task is stepping into black-type company and trying 3000m, but he is progressive enough to respect.

Resumes after six weeks having won consecutive ALLOW races by a neck, most recently beating Diamond Hands at Hanshin over 2000m. He had also scored at Tokyo over 2400m and is two from two with this jockey, so the stable has kept him progressing. This is a far stronger black-type assignment, however, and he has to prove he belongs at this level.

Returns off a five-week let-up after running third in the G2 Kobe Shimbun Hai (Japanese St Leger Trial), beaten just over half a length by Lovcen at big odds. His prior second at Hanshin over 2400m also had merit, and he has one win and three places from five starts with this jockey. The first 3000m attempt is a query, but his latest form earns place respect.

Returns off a five-week let-up after finishing second last in the G2 Kobe Shimbun Hai (Japanese St Leger Trial), beaten five and a half lengths by Lovcen. He did win a Listed race at this track earlier, beating Acrophase by just over a length, and his career record is two wins from three starts. Even so, the latest run leaves him with plenty to find against the main chances.

Comments

Returns from a two-month break following a disappointing seventh as favourite in an ALLOW at Niigata, beaten just under six lengths by Shadow Meteor and only fair through the line. He had won well at Tokyo over 2400m before that, beating Reve De L'Opera by just under two lengths. The rise into black-type company after that fresh defeat makes him hard to recommend.

Comments

Returns off a five-week let-up after finishing 12th as favourite in an ALLOW at Hanshin, beaten just over three lengths by Joy Boy after settling handy and not quickening. His previous Kokura win over 2600m was decisive, beating Saratoga Chips by three lengths, and he has won at this track. Stepping into black-type company off a plain run leaves him with work to do.
