Kyoto Race 4 - Mdn Race
HONEYBELL (2) Picked up late ground when 3rd last start here and having second race start. Has a positive barrier. Will give a big sight. OSCAR LEIA (13) First up and ran home into 2nd beaten by 1L first up last preparation at Hanshin. Down in trip. Can give this a shake. GREEN ISLAND (1) Weakened to finish 10th last start at Niigata but drawn well. Has to be strongly considered. KOJI UN (14) Finished 4th last run at Hanshin but going up in trip. Should be rolling forward early from the wide alley. Has the ability to take this out.

Had the right run at Niigata last start but failed to finish it off, running tenth behind Coucher De Soleil and beaten just over six lengths. Her Sapporo debut was much better, working home for second in a NEWCOMER when an outside chance in the betting. Third-up fitness and barrier 1 help, but she has to rebound sharply to turn that earlier promise into a placing.

Made a sound debut at this track, finishing third to Cutie Bond in a NEWCOMER over 1600m after letting down nicely and holding on fairly. She was near the top of betting there, has already placed at this venue and distance, and now comes back in grade. Drawn to use her natural speed, she has the profile of a filly ready to take another step second-up.

Finished last at this track over 1800m last start, beaten just under ten lengths behind Dawn Racer after settling just off the lead. That followed a well-beaten debut on Kyoto Dirt when big odds and never involved from the rear. He has not raced at around 1600m before and, while fitter third-up, the form shown so far leaves him with plenty to find.

Returns after four months off following an eighth at Kokura on debut, where she raced handy enough but could not finish the race off and was beaten six and a half lengths by Francoise. That was a NEWCOMER and she now resumes in a Mdn, but she is still unplaced from her only start and has not raced at around 1600m before. Improvement is required before she becomes a serious factor.

Back after two months on the sidelines since finishing fifth at Hanshin over 2000m, beaten six and a half lengths behind Shonan Vatreni after picking up fairly late. Her Chukyo debut fourth was sounder, beaten a length and a half in a NEWCOMER after travelling behind the leaders. She is race-fit and has some substance, but the first try around 1600m is a genuine question.

Resumes after three months off following an excellent Chukyo debut, where he was third in a NEWCOMER over 1600m and beaten a long neck by Ho O World after being pipped late. That placing at the trip gives him a stronger platform than most, and he has the depth of profile of a ¥44m purchase from a Group 3-winning family. If he returns in similar order, he sets the standard.

Was safely held on debut at Niigata, finishing tenth in a NEWCOMER behind Wonderful World and beaten nine and a half lengths after having many lengths to make up. He was big odds that day and never looked likely, so the form leaves little to recommend despite the move into a Mdn. The pedigree has some quality, but his race performance must lift a long way.

Resumes after three months off having produced a better debut than fourth suggests at Hanshin, where she looked no hope but came home strongly to be beaten just under four lengths by Issus. She now has her first try around 1600m, so there is still a small distance query, but the closing style was encouraging and she looks one of the more progressive chances.

Resumes after three months off following a second-last finish at Chukyo on debut, beaten over 10 lengths by Les Nuages after settling rearward and making no impression late. She was only an outside chance in the betting and is unplaced from her lone 1600m attempt. Her family page has depth, but the first run gives her a sizeable form gap to bridge.

Finished fourth on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER behind Cutie Bond, beaten just under six lengths after settling rearward at long odds. He meets Honeybell again from that race after finishing behind her, but there was enough in the effort to suggest he can improve with race experience. The class drop and his time rating make him a genuine place chance rather than a clear top pick.

Ran right up to winning form at Niigata last start, finishing second to Coucher De Soleil and beaten just over a length after holding a slender lead and fighting hard before conceding late. His debut fifth at Hanshin was also respectable, beaten just over three lengths after settling rearward. With that second-up placing now on the board, he is a solid player for the minors and a knockout if he repeats it.

Finished second last on debut at this track over 1800m, beaten nine lengths by Reign In The Sky after being claimed soon after and offering little late. He was at long odds there and remains unplaced from his only start at the venue. Dropping from NEWCOMER grade helps in theory, but the closing effort has to improve significantly.

Returns after four months off having ended the campaign with a below-expectations eighth at Chukyo, where she was well-supported favourite but only worked home fairly and was beaten four and a half lengths by Adelboden. Her debut second at Hanshin was much stronger, closing hard at long odds to miss by a length. If she recaptures that first-start finish, she is right among the winning hopes.

Back after two months on the sidelines since a Hanshin fourth over 1200m, where he made up good ground but was still beaten just under six lengths by Novalis. His Chukyo third prior was honest without threatening, and he has placed once from three starts. The 1600m assignment is new, so he will have to turn steady form into sharper late impact.

Back after two months off since a Hanshin debut seventh in a NEWCOMER, beaten four lengths by Brad Barows after settling rearward. He was unwanted in the market there and has already been unplaced once at this distance. The jockey booking adds some interest and the margin was not severe, but he must find a sharper finishing response.
