Kyoto Race 2 - Mdn Race
MAKOTO BLITZ (9) Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 2nd last time around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Fights on bravely so consider. GRAN BEAT (1) Flashed home late into 3rd last time at the track and having second race start. Will be trying to topple them late. Drawn beautifully. Won't be far away. KAZAN MIHARA (4) Finished 7th last run at the track but fitter for debut run. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Could run into the money. GAME IS MINE (2) Finished 6th last start at the track but fitter for debut run. Gets a favourable draw. Must be kept safe.

Produced a sound debut when third in a NEWCOMER at this track, beaten just over three lengths by American Soul after settling rearward. He was only an outside chance in the betting, so there was merit in the way he ran into a placing at the first attempt. From barrier 1 and with that experience behind him, he profiles as a genuine place hope who can press the main chances with natural improvement.

Finished sixth on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track, beaten over 16 lengths by Chuwa Arch after being close enough before fading through the run home. He started at long odds and the performance offered no clear excuse, although the move into a Mdn gives him a kinder assignment. Even so, he will have to finish off much better to trouble the stronger exposed form.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a modest debut at Hanshin, where he finished seventh of eight in a NEWCOMER and was beaten over 12 lengths by Incarnata. He raced just off the leaders but offered little when the race developed, so there is a clear performance gap to close. The stable has quality, and the ¥83.6m yearling purchase can improve, but he is more a place hope than a firm winning push.

Was never in the picture on debut at this track, finishing seventh in a NEWCOMER and beaten over 18 lengths by Chuwa Arch after giving away a big start in the lane. That leaves him with plenty to find despite dropping into a Mdn. With only one run behind him he can improve, but the debut figure is well short of what is usually required here.

Was better fancied than the result suggests on debut at this track, starting near the top of an open market before finishing ninth behind American Soul, beaten over 11 lengths. He was back with the job ahead and could not make ground, so there was no obvious excuse in the run. The market respect and ¥48.4m purchase profile keep him in the mix for improvement, but he has to turn that into race-day substance.

Opened his career with a seventh at Kyoto in a NEWCOMER, beaten nine and a half lengths by Malkia after failing to muster in the straight. He was unwanted in the market, so the result matched expectations rather than offering a hidden positive. The weight relief is the most tangible set-up improvement, and that can help him into minor contention if he takes a natural step forward.

Was well enough fancied on debut at Tokyo, starting near the top of an open market before finishing sixth in a NEWCOMER over 2000m, beaten nine lengths by Yumeno Kakera. He raced close enough but could not launch a serious challenge, so improvement has to come from the run under his belt. The first look at around 1800m is a query, but his profile still says he can be a major improver.

Comes back quickly after finishing last of 13 on debut at Tokyo, beaten over 18 lengths by Nova Lux when unwanted in the market. He gave away a big start in the lane and was never a factor, and the one-week turnaround adds another question rather than an obvious positive. Dropping into a Mdn helps only so much, with a far stronger performance required.

Has the strongest recent race form after consecutive seconds, most recently beaten two lengths by Leviathan at this track when he just failed to hang on. The start prior at Hanshin Dirt was also solid, closing strongly to finish second behind Gaya's Samurai by a length and a half. He is race fit, proven at the distance and has placed twice with this jockey, giving him the clearest winning case.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing fifth of six on debut at Chukyo, beaten over 13 lengths by Luna Passione when safely held. That bare result was plain, but it came at his only race start and he resumes with scope to produce something sharper. He has not raced around 1800m before, yet the assessment gives him genuine winning claims if he has furnished since that first outing.

Has been well beaten in both starts, finishing second last at this track most recently when big odds and never improving behind Leviathan. The debut at Hanshin Dirt was weaker again, where she finished a distant last behind Once For You after settling rearward. Third-up fitness is a small positive, but the current form leaves her a long way below the main hopes.

Finished last of five on debut at Kyoto, beaten out of sight by Bindung in a 2000m NEWCOMER after coming under pressure late. He was at long odds and the small-field result gives little encouragement, while today's 1800m is a trip he has not tackled before. The move into a Mdn is kinder, but he has to show a far more competitive turn of foot.

Ran sixth at this track last start over 1400m, beaten over 14 lengths by Verviers, but did at least catch the eye late after having plenty of ground to make up. His debut at Kokura was also unplaced, finishing last and beaten just over nine lengths at big odds. He now steps back to a trip where he is unplaced from one try, so his best hope is to run into a minor placing if he sustains that late work.
