Kyoto Race 7 - Allowance Race

MARILYN BAROWS (6) Edged past some when finishing 5th last start at Niigata. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Strong chance. TAGANO PUDDING (14) Resuming after a spell. Stormed home to win last start at Chukyo and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Looks to be value. MUTEKI SHACHO (5) Ran on into 5th last run at Tokyo. Jockey Tatsuya Watanabe adds value. Can give this a shake. BRONTES (11) Good performance to run into 3rd last start at this track. Worth strong consideration.

Comments

Worked just off the pace first-up at this track but only battled into ninth behind Peptide Leon, beaten just over four lengths, and the market gave little confidence. The run prior was much better, winning a Mdn over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt by just over a length from Bandam Solaire. The winning rider returns, but his two unplaced runs at this distance temper the win case.

Has been a long way below the required level at his past two. He was 14th at this track behind Black Legend last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after conceding a big start, and that followed a last at Sapporo when beaten out of sight. He has placed twice from five tries around 1400m, but current form leaves him with a major task.

Returns from a three-month break after being beaten over 12 lengths at Chukyo Dirt, where she settled handy but could not raise a challenge. Her previous fourth at this track was more respectable, although she was still beaten just under five lengths at big odds. A track win is in the record, but she has been unplaced in both tries at this distance and must lift sharply.

Comes in race fit and fourth-up after finishing fifth at Niigata Dirt, beaten four and a half lengths behind Satono Escape after settling rearward. She had been fourth at Chukyo Dirt two back, beaten just over two lengths when near the top of betting. The step back to 1400m is a query given her lone unplaced try at the trip, but the rider record and overall profile keep her right in the race.

Resumed with a fifth at Tokyo Dirt, beaten four and a half lengths behind Bear Akkochan, and he was again near the top of betting. His record at this track and distance is a key strength, with one win and one placing from three starts, and his wider 1400m profile is solid. Second-up with proven course-and-trip form, he brings the strongest overall case.

Closed off nicely when fifth as favourite at Niigata Dirt first-up, beaten two and a half lengths behind Lavender Haze. That followed a Mdn win at Hanshin Dirt where she beat Catch A Thief as a short odds-on favourite. Her career record is highly reliable, with one win and six placings from eight starts, and she has placed twice from two runs at this track. She is a strong danger.

Made a reasonable return when fifth at this track behind Peptide Leon, beaten just over two lengths after looming but not finishing it off. His previous run produced a five-length Mdn win at Hanshin Dirt from Tagano Pudding, so there is some substance in the form. The concern is his three unplaced runs at this track and distance, which keeps him more in the place bracket.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing last at Chukyo, beaten eight lengths at long odds, and the final effort was plain. Her previous eighth there was also only fair, beaten four lengths when unwanted in the market. She has not raced around 1400m before and is unplaced in nine runs on good tracks, so a sharp turnaround is required.

Second-up after finishing 14th at this track, beaten over 11 lengths behind Wise Gang at long odds, and she was never in the picture. The run prior at Hanshin Dirt was also well held, albeit with a late finish from a long way back. She has won twice around 1400m, but this season's form is flat and she has plenty to turn around.

Was safely held when 12th at this track behind Panthers, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds after settling too far back to matter. His previous 12th at this venue behind Meikei Rein was similar, with no market confidence and no real impact. He was also behind Brontes recently, and his unplaced record at both the track and distance makes him difficult to recommend.

Returned with a solid third at this track behind Panthers, beaten a length and a half, and the market had him near the top of an open race. He had also run third at this venue behind Soul On Fire in ALLOW grade as a well-supported favourite. The lack of a win from four starts at this track and distance is the knock, but his consistency gives him a live winning chance.

Returns from a three-month break after a plain Chukyo finish, running second last behind Vocalize and beaten nine and a half lengths. His prior tenth at the same venue was better but still only moderate. He has one win and five placings from 15 starts, so there is some place depth in the record, but first try around 1400m and first run at this track leave queries.

Ran better than the market expected when fourth at this track behind T O Purcell, beaten two and a half lengths at long odds. That was a clear improvement on her Kokura Dirt tenth, where she was beaten over 11 lengths and made no impression. She has won at this track and distance, but one win from 13 starts and no placings in the past 12 months make her a risky proposition.

Returns from a three-month break after ending the previous campaign with a Mdn win at Chukyo Dirt, beating Prudencia by a length as favourite. She had been second there two weeks earlier, beaten just over a length as a short odds-on favourite. With one win and four placings from seven starts and a strong 1400m record, she is a genuine place player fresh.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fifth at Chukyo Dirt behind Justin Le Mans, beaten two and a half lengths when near the top of betting. He had also been fifth at Tokyo Dirt in ALLOW grade as favourite, making up late ground without threatening. His overall record of one win and two placings from five starts is sound, and the 1400m profile keeps him in the minor mix.

Produced his best recent effort when second at this track behind Panthers, beaten a length and a half at long odds after fighting on strongly until late. That also has relevance through Brontes, who finished behind him in the same race. The issue is his broader profile: one win from 32 starts and no wins in six tries around 1400m. A repeat puts him in the place mix.
