Kyoto Race 2 - Mdn Race
SALTO VELOCE (1) Narrowly beaten last start at this venue and drawn the rails. Should race on the speed. Good career start. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ELDER KRONE (7) Passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last run at this venue. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. COME TRUE (4) Finished 6th last run at Niigata. Should bounce back. Should go close. PARODY (13) Ran 8th last start at Niigata but having second career run. Rises in weight. Looks a value runner.

Second-up after a strong return at this track, where he was sent out an odds-on favourite and went under by a nose after giving a sight until late. He had also been runner-up at Sapporo Dirt the start prior, beaten two lengths by Temu Fire, so the maiden form has been consistently sound. Drawn to use his early speed from barrier 1 and already placed at the distance, he gets a prime chance to break through.

Had his first start at Niigata and finished 12th of 18, beaten seven lengths, after starting at big odds. The run offered little by way of late progress, with the race pattern showing he had the job ahead and could not make ground. Second-up improvement is possible for a lightly raced colt, but the debut figure leaves him with a sizeable gap to close.

Settled just off the lead on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER, but was unwanted in the market and finished 11th of 16, beaten just under ten lengths. The class drop gives him a softer landing in a Mdn, yet there was no obvious excuse in the first run and he was unplaced at this venue and distance. He must show a much stronger finish to trouble the main chances.

Comes here third-up after finishing sixth at Niigata Dirt over 1200m, beaten just under two lengths when near the top of betting. That followed a debut third at this track in a NEWCOMER, where he worked home evenly from long odds. The first try around 1400m asks a question, but he has already shown enough race sense and fitness to be a genuine winning chance.

Worked into a more competitive result at Kyoto last start, finishing fifth and beaten just under four lengths after settling rearward, though she was unwanted in the market. She had been well beaten on debut at Sapporo, so the recent effort was the one to assess. Elder Krone had her measure in that Kyoto run and 1400m is new, but third-up she can press for a minor placing.

Returns after three months off following a weak debut at Hanshin Dirt, where he settled rearward and gave ground to be seventh, beaten over 20 lengths. He was at generous odds that day and the race form gives little immediate encouragement. The ¥29.7m purchase has scope to improve with time, but on exposed race evidence he has plenty to find fresh.

Has been steadily around the mark in four runs and comes off a fourth at Kyoto over 1200m, beaten just under four lengths after picking up nicely in the straight. Two back at Hanshin he also made up good late ground, so the pattern suggests he is looking for a little more ground. The first try at 1400m is still to be answered, but he looks one of the better winning hopes.

Was well enough found in betting on debut at Tokyo, but could only finish ninth of 14, beaten just over seven lengths, with the final effort below the market expectation. She now drops from a NEWCOMER and comes back from 1600m to an untried 1400m, so there is room for natural improvement. The debut must be lifted on, but she profiles as a place hope with upside.

Was never a factor on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER, finishing last of 16 and beaten over 20 lengths after conceding a huge start. He was unwanted in the market, and the run offered no clear excuse to build around. The class drop is some help on paper, but he will have to begin better and show far more late to get competitive.

Returns after three months off having been beaten out of sight at Sapporo Dirt, where he was at long odds and never in the picture. His debut six days earlier was also poor, finishing last at Sapporo and beaten over 20 lengths after dropping out in the straight. With two heavy defeats from two starts, he is difficult to recommend without a major turnaround.

Settled rearward on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER and finished sixth of 16, beaten just over six lengths at long odds. That was not a bad starting point given the market expectation, and the drop into a Mdn offers a chance to improve second-up. He still has to find a stronger closing burst, but his first run gives him some minor-place appeal.

Was near the top of an open market on debut at Niigata Dirt, but finished eighth, beaten nine and a half lengths, after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. He drops from a NEWCOMER and is a half brother to Group 3 winner Kenshinko, so the profile has some depth. Even so, the first 1400m attempt and debut margin keep him in the place bracket.

Was well back throughout on debut at Niigata and finished eighth of 18, beaten over 14 lengths, after starting at long odds. There was no obvious late response in that performance, and although the drop from NEWCOMER grade is a small positive, his first race figure sits below the main chances. He has to make a sizeable second-up jump to be involved.
