Kyoto Race 11 - The Miyako Stakes(G3)

B B CLOSER (4) First up specialist. Finished hard to win last run at Chukyo. No shock to see a win. MEURSAULT (10) Proven record when resuming. Ran 2nd last start at Morioka and proven performer at this distance. Shows good early pace. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . TRIPOLITANIA (1) Goes well first up. Bold effort when winning last start at Chukyo and hard to fault at the trip. Can save some energy from the draw. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. SHONAN BANRAI (15) Bolted in when winning by 8L last start at Hanshin. Has won 3 from 4 attempts this preparation. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.

Returns from a three-month break after winning at Chukyo Dirt, where he tracked the speed as favourite and beat Mars Odyssey by a neck. His earlier seventh in a Listed Open over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt was sound enough, beaten three lengths by June Aoniyoshi, but this is a sharper black-type test. The track-and-trip record gives him some hope, though others bring stronger recent credentials.

Comes off a strong win at this track, making up plenty of ground to beat Slazak by just under two lengths despite being an outside chance in the betting. The prior Mombetsu fourth in COND company was also competitive, beaten a length and a half after leading. Her track-and-distance record is solid, but the step into this grade makes the task considerably tougher.

Comments

Ran sixth at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Bastard Saffron after looming into it and boxing on without quite making the placings. That followed a six-length ALLOW win at Hanshin Dirt as a well-supported favourite, so there is substance in his current campaign. The distance query tempers the win view, but he is capable of holding a minor-placing claim.

Returns from a three-month break after consecutive ALLOW wins at Chukyo Dirt, both at very short odds and both achieved with something in hand. His overall record of four wins and three placings from seven starts is hard to knock, and he has already handled this distance range. The class rise into this company is the key test, so he has to prove that lower-grade strength converts.

Returns off a six-week break after winning the G3 Sirius Stakes at Hanshin Dirt, settling back before finishing over the top of Le Cheval D'Or to score by a neck. His earlier fifth in the G3 Elm Stakes was only fair, but he is a proven Group 3 performer with two wins at that level and Arata Saito has a strong record on him. The last-start form makes him a major player again.

Second-up after a plain run at this track, finishing second last behind Meisho Zuiun and beaten over 19 lengths after weakening badly. His Fukushima Dirt fourth prior was far better, beaten just under two lengths after leading, but he has been unplaced in all five starts in the past 12 months. A return to his best would be required to trouble these.

Returns off a six-week break after a close third in the G3 Sirius Stakes, beaten just over half a length by Walzer Schall at Hanshin Dirt when an outside chance in the betting. He had won an ALLOW at this track the start prior, beating Tagano Makasih Ya by a length at generous odds. That gives him a case, but the market profile and overall strike rate keep him below the main hopes.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing fourth at Morioka Dirt, beaten just over eight lengths by Sunday Funday when near the top of betting. His run prior was stronger, winning an Open at this track by just over a length from Grande Plage with something in reserve. The track-and-distance record is excellent, so he can bounce back into the placings if ready.

Returns off a six-week break after finishing seventh in the G3 Sirius Stakes, beaten two and a half lengths by Walzer Schall as favourite but lacking the acceleration required. His Ohi fifth prior was honest from well back without threatening. He has Listed-winning credentials and a track-and-trip win, yet this campaign's form points more to a placing than a win.

Returns from a four-month break after running second at Morioka Dirt, beaten just over a length by Sunday Funday as an odds-on favourite after tracking the leader and fighting on. His previous run was a G3 Antares Stakes win at Hanshin Dirt, where he beat Mokku Mokku by a length and a half. With seven wins from twelve starts and a strong distance record, he is a serious winning chance fresh.

Returns off a five-week break after a solid third at Funabashi, beaten four and a half lengths by Mikki Fight while keeping on into the placings. His Ohi sixth prior was moderate, but his broader profile is stronger than those two runs alone: one win and four placings from five Group 3 starts, plus reliable track and distance records. He is one of the better winning hopes.

Returns off a six-week break after finishing tenth in the G3 Sirius Stakes, beaten just over five lengths by Walzer Schall when never in the picture. His Listed MEITETSU HAI third two back was a more respectable effort, though still five lengths from the winner. He has placed often at this track and distance, but the winning edge has been missing for some time.

Second-up after finishing tenth at this track, beaten eight lengths by Meisho Zuiun after settling prominently and failing to finish off. The run prior in the G3 Elm Stakes was much worse, beaten out of sight after being unwanted in the market. He has some distance form in the book, but current figures leave him with a sizeable gap to close.

Comes here third-up after a disappointing tenth in the Listed BRAZIL CUP at Tokyo Dirt, beaten seven and a half lengths by Cours Mirabeau without making headway. His previous second in the G3 Sirius Stakes was much stronger, beaten only a neck by Walzer Schall at big odds. That run gives him place claims, but he must rebound from a flat latest effort.

Returns off a six-week break after a dominant ALLOW win at Hanshin Dirt, where he started short odds-on and beat Matenro Brave by eight lengths after picking up strongly. His G3 Leopard Stakes sixth prior was not a winning threat, but he was respected in betting and kept working. With four wins in the past 12 months and a strong 1800m profile, he sets a clear standard here.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing tenth in the G3 Sekiya Kinen at Niigata, beaten over 19 lengths on soft ground after giving little late. His previous run in the G1 Yasuda Kinen was also safely held, though that was a high-grade task at long odds. A Listed record of one win and one placing from three starts gives him some standing, but recent form is a concern.
