Kyoto Race 2 - Mdn Race
PRINKIPISSA (11) Was competitive when 3rd last time at Hanshin and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has run into the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. Will be there at the finish. CRUST MOON (6) Improved when 5th last time at Niigata. Must be considered. HEAVEN IN THE RAIN (3) Grabbed towards the finish when 2nd last run at this venue and having second career run. Jockey Yuga Kawada adds value. Up to these. ARGENT LEO (13) Ran out of steam towards the end when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Niigata and fitter for debut run. Goes close.

Found the line fairly without ever threatening when seventh at Niigata last start, beaten just over seven lengths after being near the top of betting. Her debut third at Chukyo was more encouraging, closing nicely behind Seiun My Love in a NEWCOMER over 1200m. The move to 1400m is new, so she has to turn that early promise into a much sharper performance.

Returns from a six-week freshening after being beaten out of sight when last at Hanshin, where she was close enough before dropping out sharply at long odds. Her debut at Fukushima was also poor, finishing last and tailed off behind Win Wagner. Unplaced from two starts and soundly beaten by Prinkipissa last time, she faces a major turnaround task.

Returns off a five-week let-up after an excellent debut second in a NEWCOMER at this track, beaten two lengths by Bright Script after fighting hard and only giving way late. That was achieved at generous odds, so there is scope for the market to rate her more highly now. Already placed at this track and distance and aided by the class drop, she looks the horse to beat.

Returns off a five-week freshening after finishing seventh at this track over 1600m, beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds behind Ray Queen. She had also been seventh at Hakodate, beaten just under nine lengths after settling rearward. The first try around 1400m gives her a different assignment, but the recent form leaves her with plenty to find.

Made some late ground from a rearward position when fifth on debut at this track, beaten just under five lengths by Sehzade in an 18-runner NEWCOMER. She was big odds there, so the run had enough merit without screaming winner. The class drop is useful and she meets Water Garuda again from that race, shaping more as a place hope than a main win play.

Was well-supported favourite at Niigata last start but could manage only fifth, beaten two and a half lengths behind Bel Me Gusta after settling rearward. His debut third at this track was better, finishing strongly when beaten just over a length as favourite. Third-up fitness helps, though 1400m is new, so he profiles as a genuine place contender with a small query.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last at Hanshin over 1200m, beaten over 16 lengths and unwanted in the market. His previous run on Fukushima Dirt was also well held, and his lone previous try around 1400m produced no placing. The stable has profile, but his race form so far says he has a steep task.

Was safely held on debut at this track over 1600m, finishing seventh of 14 and beaten nine and a half lengths behind Cutie Bond after starting big odds. The class drop provides some assistance and he should have taken experience from that first outing, but the shorter 1400m trip is new and the exposed run leaves him with a fair bit to find.

Conceded a big start and never got involved when 11th at Niigata last start, beaten seven and a half lengths behind Bel Me Gusta. His previous fourth at Sapporo was more competitive, but he still did not quicken when required. With one previous run around 1400m for no placing and only one placing from six starts overall, he must lift noticeably.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fifth at Hanshin, beaten just under four lengths by Nix Luna at long odds after working home only fairly. Her debut sixth at Chukyo was similar, beaten three and a half lengths after having the drop on the leaders. Third-up fitness is a plus, but she remains winless and unplaced from two starts.

Returns from a six-week freshening with the most consistent profile in the race, having placed in all three starts. She was favourite when third at Hanshin last start, beaten just under three lengths by Nix Luna after tracking the speed and working home evenly. Her neck second at Chukyo two back reads well, and two placings from two tries at this distance make her a major chance again.

Was unwanted in the market and finished last at this track last start, beaten seven lengths by Margot Pule after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. Her debut at Hakodate was also safely held, beaten over 17 lengths in a small field. With two unplaced runs and little closing impact shown, she has to improve sharply.

Made a sound start when third in a NEWCOMER at Niigata, beaten just under two lengths by Wild Shacho after being right there for a long way as the well-supported favourite. He already has a placing at this distance and now drops into Mdn grade. From a wide barrier he has a little to sort out, but the debut effort gives him a strong winning base.

Worked home well on debut at this track when second to Sehzade in an 18-runner NEWCOMER, beaten three lengths after starting an outside chance in the betting. He has already placed at both this venue and distance, and the move to Mdn company suits. With Yutaka Take aboard and a half-brother link to Water Licht, his profile has plenty of substance.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fifth on debut at Hanshin, beaten just over three lengths by Memory Book after settling rearward. He was near the top of betting there, so the market expected better, but the margin was not severe. The class drop offers a chance to improve, though he still profiles more as a place player than a clear winning threat.
