Kyoto Race 8 - Mibu Tokubetsu
MARGOT MIST (17) sets the standard after finishing third at this track three weeks ago, beaten just over a length, and that followed a fighting Hanshin win over From Raven. He has now placed in all three attempts at this track and distance, so while SWIMMY YUNIBANSU had his measure in that latest meeting, the overall profile is strong enough to make him the one to beat. GOOD PIECE (15) is the clear danger after closing nicely for fifth in the same race, only a length and a half away, and his Kokura win from Mirai Harmony before that gives him a sharp second-up platform. SWIMMY YUNIBANSU (6) outran big odds when second in that key lead-up and beat both MARGOT MIST and GOOD PIECE there, making her a genuine repeat threat if she holds that level. MOUNTAIN BAROWS (18) brings winning form from this track, scoring by a length from Bersa, and his narrow Kokura third before that says the form is more than a one-off despite the wider draw.

Resumes after a four-month break off a strong Kokura third, where she finished hard and was beaten just over half a length by Imbroglio. Her previous sixth as favourite was still only just over two lengths away, and the 1200m profile is sound with one win and four placings from seven tries. The rider record is another positive, leaving her a genuine place hope fresh.

Resumes after a three-month break having finished eighth at Sapporo, beaten just under three lengths after settling rearward. He had been fifth at Hakodate the run prior but again gave away ground, and he was beaten by Swimmy Yunibansu at Sapporo. A previous win at this track and distance keeps him in the conversation, but he will have to lift sharply.

Resumes after a four-month break as a lightly raced filly with a sharp winning profile. She beat Kelheim by just over a length at Chukyo as an odds-on favourite, having led throughout to win a Mdn at Hanshin the start before. Two wins from three starts and a perfect 1200m record give her strong claims, especially with Christophe Lemaire engaged.

Has been well held at his past two runs, both times finishing 13th after giving away big starts. The latest was over 1400m at Tokyo when beaten seven and a half lengths at long odds, and the Hanshin run prior was no better. He has won at around 1200m before, but current form leaves him with a substantial improvement task.

Resumes after a three-month break with recent form that has not offered enough. She was eighth at Sapporo before the break, beaten four lengths at big odds, after a ninth there when at long odds. A previous track-and-trip win is a useful reference point, but she is unplaced from seven starts in the past 12 months and must find more.

Produced a big-odds second at this track last start, working home evenly to be beaten a length and putting Margot Mist and Good Piece behind her. That was a clear lift on her Sapporo fifth when unwanted in the market, and she is rated strongly on recent 1200m form. If she repeats that latest effort, she is a serious winning player.

Resumes after a three-month break following a Sapporo fifth, beaten just over three lengths after settling rearward at long odds. The run prior at Hakodate was weaker, finishing seventh and beaten just under seven lengths. He has won at this distance and on turf, but he has gone nine starts in the past 12 months without placing, so place claims are the ceiling.

Second-up after finishing second last at Tokyo over 1400m, beaten just under eight lengths after lacking a change of gears. Her previous Chukyo run was also plain, finishing last in a nine-runner field and unwanted in the market. Dropping back in trip offers some context, but the recent evidence says she has to improve markedly.

Resumed with a solid fourth at this track, beaten a length and a half at big odds after settling rearward. He finished behind Swimmy Yunibansu and Margot Mist there but did finish ahead of Good Piece, which gives the form some depth. His overall win strike-rate is modest, yet that fresh run was good enough to keep him in the minor-money mix.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a fair ninth at Hanshin, beaten four and a half lengths. He had won at this track before that, leading to score by just over a length from G T Espi as favourite, and his 1200m record is respectable. The issue is whether he can recapture that sharper version second-up after a below-par return.

Has been beaten over 14 lengths and over 12 lengths at his past two starts, the latest when second last on Hanshin Dirt at very long odds. He never looked likely there and had also made no impression late at Sapporo Dirt. Two wins from nine starts show some past ability, but current form gives him a very difficult assignment.

Returns from a two-month break after a last-place Sapporo run where she led but was beaten over 20 lengths at big odds. The start prior was much better, a close fifth to Hollywood Memory when beaten just over a length, and she has placed twice from three starts at this track. On that better run she has place claims, but the latest is a clear concern.

Comes through two seventh placings, most recently at Tokyo over 1400m when unwanted in the market but picking up nicely in the straight. She returns to a distance where she has won twice, and the winning rider is back aboard. First look at this track is a query, but her profile is good enough to be included among the place chances.

Was last at Nakayama first-up, beaten over 15 lengths at long odds, and there was no hidden merit in the margin. Her previous run was a fourth at this track, beaten five and a half lengths, but that came in January and she is unplaced from three starts at this track and distance. She has to produce a far stronger finish to trouble these.

Closed nicely for fifth at this track first-up, beaten a length and a half in the same race that produced several key chances. He had won at Kokura before that, beating Mirai Harmony by just under a length as a well-supported favourite. With a strong rider-horse record and proven 1200m form, he can improve enough second-up to be a major threat.

Resumes after a three-month break following a Chukyo fourth, beaten just under two lengths at generous odds. She had won by a nose at Chukyo six days earlier at long odds, so there is recent competitiveness, and she has two wins at around 1200m. The concern is an unplaced record from two starts at this track, which leaves her needing a new peak.

Went close at this track last start, finishing third and beaten just over a length after settling rearward, with Good Piece behind him in the same race. That followed a tough Hanshin win over From Raven, and his season record is strong with two wins and two placings from eight starts. Swimmy Yunibansu did beat him home last time, but his overall 1200m profile makes him the one to beat.

Won first-up at this track, driving hard late to beat Bersa by a length while near the top of an open market. That followed a narrow Kokura third when beaten a long neck, so the recent form is reliable. He is one from one at this track and has a strong record with Yuga Kawada, making him a genuine winning chance again.
