Kyoto Race 12 - Sagano Tokubetsu

PEPTIDE LEON (1) Dashed home to win last run at this venue and drawn well. Going well this campaign. Respect in this event. SONIC STEP (11) Faded away to finish 7th last run at Hanshin and dropping back to a shorter trip. Shows good closing speed. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. AMBITIOUS YOSHINO (5) Was outmatched when 7th last run at Hanshin and have to respect the form at this trip. Looks a value runner. POD DONNER (12) Was making up some late ground when 4th last time at this track. Worth an investment.

Scored as a well-supported favourite at this track two weeks ago, working over the top to beat T O Kaiser by just under a length. He had been fifth to Panthers the start prior, beaten just over two lengths after picking up well, so his form has held up strongly. Barrier one suits his on-pace style, and one win and four placings from six track-and-trip runs make him a major winning chance again.

Finished last first-up at this track over 1200m, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds after giving nothing in the run home. The start prior at Kokura Dirt was better, but still only eighth and beaten just over four lengths. He is unplaced in three tries around 1400m and has missed a place in all seven starts over the past 12 months, so a sharp turnaround is required.

Found little first-up at Hanshin Dirt, finishing 12th and beaten over 12 lengths after being unwanted in the market. That was well below his earlier win at this track over 1200m, where he beat Grande Sfida by just over a length as favourite. He has placed only once from four starts at this track and distance, so the positive older form has to be revived quickly.

Back from a two-month break after leading and finishing seventh at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just over two lengths at long odds. That was an improvement on his tenth at Chukyo Dirt, where he was beaten nine and a half lengths and only fair late. He did finish ahead of Pod Donner at Hanshin Dirt, but his overall recent record remains thin and he has to produce a much stronger finish.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain seventh at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just over nine lengths when he was there to strike but found little. His previous seventh at Chukyo Dirt was sounder, and he did beat Julnar there a couple of months ago. Two wins from two starts at this track give him genuine place appeal, but recent finishing effort is the main reservation.

Gets back to a more suitable 1400m set-up after finishing 15th at Kyoto last start, when she was well back and made no impression. The form on paper is plain, including an 11th at Chukyo Dirt two back, but she has won at this track, won at this distance and drops to 52kg third-up. With the right conditions restored, she has the profile to turn things around strongly.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last preparation ninth at Sapporo, beaten four lengths when he tried hard but came up short. Two back at Sapporo Dirt he was sixth, beaten five lengths, after settling well back and finishing off from an impossible spot. He has been unplaced in all twelve starts over the past 12 months, leaving him with a sizeable task fresh.

Worked from too far back first-up at this track and finished eighth, beaten six lengths at generous odds. She was also eighth at Niigata Dirt the start prior, beaten the same margin after being near the top of betting. Her one placing from four track-and-trip attempts gives a minor foothold, but the recent pattern says she has to find a sharper closing effort.

Comments

Has been unable to make an impact in two runs this campaign, most recently eighth at this track and beaten seven and a half lengths behind Zakkuzaku. She was also well back when tenth at Hanshin Dirt two back. The 51kg impost and two wins around 1400m keep her in the place conversation, but she must settle closer to the contest to threaten the better chances.

Comments

Worked home fairly from a long way back when seventh at this track last week, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds. That was a better finish than her tenth at Hanshin Dirt, where she faded after being close enough. The concern is her track-and-trip record, with no placing from nine attempts, so she profiles more as a rough place hope than a reliable winning play.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing seventh first-up at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m, beaten six and a half lengths after working home evenly. His previous run at Niigata Dirt was a last placing in ALLOW grade when swamped after leading. He is one from one at this track, and that local record gives him some each-way interest despite the distance adjustment.

Improved to fourth at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Zakkuzaku after failing to quicken at the key stage. He was beaten the same margin when eighth at Hanshin Dirt two back, so his form is more competitive than the finishing positions suggest. Two wins and one placing from six at this track and distance make him a strong winning chance if he sharpens up late.
