Kyoto Race 6 - Allowance Race
TAISEI DORADO (12) First up from a spell. Didn't threaten when 12th last start at Chukyo. Capable of bouncing back. Should be rolling forward early from the wide alley. Can win this. CORVUS (4) Looked outclassed when 16th last run at this track. Expecting improvement here and showing consistent performance in races. Goes very close. YAEGIRI (11) Didn't maintain the pace throughout when 5th last time at Tokyo. No shock to see a win. TAMAMO LAMP (6) Back from a spell. Couldn't stay in touch when 11th last time at Niigata. Will be positive in the run early. Has claims.

Resumed with a fair seventh at this track, beaten five and a half lengths by Black Legend after being unwanted in the market. The stronger reference is his Kokura Dirt Mdn win prior, when sent out favourite and beating Macaroon Blue by just under two lengths. Barrier 1 should allow him to race handy, and his record around 1800m keeps him in the place mix.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last preparation with two heavy defeats, most recently last at Chukyo Dirt when beaten a long way by Don Erectus at long odds. The counterpoint is that he has won at this track and around this trip from a short career. He has to leave those plain ALLOW runs behind, but his venue profile gives him a minor chance fresh.

Was safely held first-up at Hanshin Dirt, finishing 13th and beaten over 10 lengths behind El Fenix after sitting just off the pace. Two back at Niigata Dirt he was also unwanted in betting but kept going fairly when 11th. His overall place record is strong and he has placed regularly at this distance, so a minor cheque is more realistic than a win push.

Finished last at this track first-up, beaten over 14 lengths by Black Legend after conceding a huge start and never getting involved. His Kokura Dirt third prior was sound enough, and he has a win and a placing from three runs at this distance, but the latest run was too poor to ignore. He must rebound strongly to threaten this field.

Ran his best race for some time when third at this track last start, beaten a length and a half by Allen Star after settling back in the field. He had been fourth at Hanshin Dirt before that and continues to hold form without quite breaking through. The 1800m win strike is modest, but repeated placings at the trip and race fitness make him a major player.

Returns from a six-month break after ending last preparation with an 11th at Niigata, beaten just under ten lengths by Meiner Azzurro. His previous Kyoto run was better, finishing sixth and beaten just under three lengths after leading. He has not placed in two tries around 1800m, but the winning rider is back aboard and his broader 12-month profile keeps him firmly in play.

Never got into the race when 12th at this track first-up, beaten over 10 lengths by B B Synergy at big odds. The previous Chukyo Dirt run was also weak, finishing last and beaten over 18 lengths. He does have a win at this venue and at the distance, but current form is well below the level required to make a serious impact.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last preparation with a second-last at Chukyo Dirt, beaten over 14 lengths by Justin Le Mans after fading late. His Sonoda C3 win prior was decisive as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, but it came in a small field. The 1800m is new territory, so he has a fair bit to prove back in this company.

Comes back quickly after finishing 13th at Niigata Dirt, beaten over 16 lengths by Wolf at long odds after giving away a big start. The run prior at Chukyo Dirt was similar, with little impact from the rear. He has placed at this track and distance before, but the recent margins are too large to make a confident case.

Was unwanted in the market first-up at this track and finished 12th, beaten over 19 lengths by Air Alcina. His previous run at this venue was better without being threatening, finishing eighth and beaten just over seven lengths. He has won at the distance, but remains unplaced in three starts at this track and others arrive with stronger recent claims.

Resumed with a very solid fifth at Tokyo, beaten a length and a half by Huriya after settling handy, and that form reads strongly for this. She was beaten only a neck at Kyoto two back as a well-supported favourite, showing she can sustain quality form at this level. Her 1800m record is sound rather than flawless, but she brings the best recent profile and looks the one to beat.

Returns from a three-month break after a disappointing 12th at Chukyo Dirt, beaten over 11 lengths by Yoka O when near the top of betting. His earlier run was seventh in a Listed Open at Tokyo Dirt, so the race record has more substance than the latest effort shows. A perfect one-from-one record at this track keeps him in the place conversation fresh.
