Kyoto Race 11 - The Daily Hai Nisai Stakes(G2)
BRAD BAROWS (5) Dictated the tempo to win by 1 1/4L last start at Hanshin. Has not missed this preparation with 2 wins from 2 starts. Will be there at the finish. CUTIE BOND (8) Reeled them in to win last time here and having second career run. Good to see jockey Yuga Kawada is jumping on. Well placed and has solid claims. BREAK AWAY (13) First run back from a break. Was eating up the ground late when winning last start at Chukyo and having second race start. Can give this a shake. LUZ SOLAR (1) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 4 1/4L last start at Tokyo and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Showing consistent performance in races. Has the ability to take this out.

Kept his record intact for the placings when third in an ALLOW over 1400m at Tokyo last start, beaten just over four lengths after having plenty to do before closing strongly. That followed a well-supported Mdn win at Hanshin, where he finished over the top of Nix Luna. The first try around 1600m is the key question, but his consistency keeps him in the minor mix.

Won on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER, starting favourite and showing a sharp turn of foot to beat My Veil by a length. She is one from one at the distance and venue, and Yutaka Take has already won the Daily Hai Nisai Stakes in the last decade. The G2 step is a genuine rise in standard, but the exposed profile is strong enough to put her right in the winning discussion.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth at Nakayama, beaten five and a half lengths, when near the top of an open market but unable to finish the race off. His prior Fukushima Mdn win over Capital Stone had more authority, and the winning rider is back aboard. Even so, this looks a sharper assignment and he has to find more under pressure.

Returns from a three-month break after being second last in the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes, beaten over 17 lengths by Lotschberg after settling well back and failing to improve. His debut win at Hanshin showed early promise when he beat Oscar Leia by a length, but the latest run leaves a clear trust issue. Others bring stronger current claims.

Returns from a two-month freshening with a perfect two-from-two record and already owns two wins from two starts at this distance. He beat City Of Dream by just over a length at Hanshin last start after giving a decisive kick, building on a comfortable debut win there a week earlier. The move into G2 company is the test, but his form is clean, race-fit and sets the benchmark.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing third in the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes, beaten just over four lengths by Lotschberg after lacking the turn of foot to seriously threaten. He had earlier won on debut at Hanshin as a well-supported favourite, driving late to beat Margot Ma Cherie. That black-type placing gives him a sound each-way shape.

Was safely held first-up at this track, finishing fifth of seven and beaten four and a half lengths after settling rearward as an outside chance in betting. His debut win at Hanshin over Black Muse was sound enough, but he has not raced around 1600m before and now meets a deeper black-type field. He will have to lift off the latest run.

Returns from a five-week freshening after an eye-catching debut win at this track, where she was well-supported and made up a stack of ground to beat Don Crush by just over a length. The ¥187m purchase is already proven at this venue and distance, and Yuichi Fukunaga has won the Daily Hai Nisai Stakes with his only runner in the race in the last decade. She is a serious threat.

Broke through in a Mdn at this track last start, scoring by a neck from Don Crush at generous odds. That was a clear step forward from his prior seventh behind Ippei, when beaten just over six lengths over 1800m. He is one from one at this distance, but the jump from maiden company to this G2 leaves him more an each-way hope than a leading win chance.

Returns from a four-month break after winning on debut at Chukyo, coming from off them to beat Too Legit by a neck despite being unwanted in the market. That showed ability, and he is one from one at the distance, but the narrow margin and long break leave him with plenty to prove in black-type company. A much stronger performance is required.

Won on debut at this track over 1400m, starting a well-supported favourite and showing a strong turn of foot to beat Water Garuda by three lengths in an 18-runner field. That margin gives the form some substance, although he has not raced around 1600m before and now steps into black type. The upside is clear enough to make him a live place hope.

Returns from a three-month break after a narrow Sapporo Mdn win, beating Run For The Age by a neck in a six-runner field after leading. He had been fourth at Sapporo the run prior when unable to quicken, so the recent form is modest for this level. Ryusei Sakai has an excellent record in the Daily Hai Nisai Stakes, but the horse still has plenty to find.

Returns from a four-month break after winning on debut at Chukyo as an odds-on favourite, letting down nicely to beat Rhein Elegant by a length with something in reserve. He has not raced around 1600m before, but the stable and rider both rate highly at this track, with Mirai Iwata the top-ranked jockey for wins here. That gives him a workable place profile.
