Kyoto Race 3 - Mdn Race
AIDAN BAROWS (9) Narrowly denied victory last start at Niigata. Suitably placed in this race. REAL MESSAGE (1) Felt the pinch when 5th last run at Hanshin and drawn beautifully. Will give a big sight. YUI RENOVATION (14) Did well when 2nd last time here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Up to these. GAYA'S RAMBO (8) Finished amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at Hanshin and promising career start. In fine form since returning from a break. Among better hopes.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth at Hanshin Dirt, where he loomed up but failed to finish it off and was beaten over 12 lengths by Sky Meteor. His previous third behind Belle Veil was more encouraging, working home evenly when beaten just over four lengths. With one placing from three runs around 1400m, he has a genuine minor-money profile rather than a strong winning edge.

Resumes after four months off following a plain first campaign, ending with a tailed-off seventh at Sapporo Dirt when in the right spot but offering little. His debut ninth at Hakodate in a NEWCOMER also came at long odds after he found little late. He has not raced around 1400m before and will have to lift sharply to trouble these.

Second-up after finishing sixth at this track, but the margin was severe and he was only fair through the line behind Tagano Gale. The earlier Chukyo fifth was sounder, beaten just over six lengths after settling handy, yet his four-start career remains without a placing. He must produce a far sharper finish to become a realistic threat.

Made his debut in a NEWCOMER at this track and finished seventh, beaten over 11 lengths by Hamed Style after settling just off the lead. That was only a starting point, and the class drop into a Mdn is the key reason to expect a better showing second-up. The 1400m trip is new, but he should be much better placed in this grade and rates one of the main chances.

Returns from a six-month break after being well beaten on debut at Hanshin Dirt, where he settled prominently but gave nothing in the run home behind Chloris. The class drop is a small help, yet that first run came at long odds and offered little to build from. He has to return a different horse to make an impact.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a seventh at Kyoto, beaten three and a half lengths by Meisho Spark when an outside chance in betting. Her debut fifth behind Ghibli at Hanshin was close enough to have merit, beaten two and a half lengths near the top of an open market. Third-up and rated well at this distance, she shapes as a genuine placing chance.

Finished ninth on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track, beaten just under ten lengths by Saimon Recolte after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. The class drop gives him some relief, but he was big odds there and has already been unplaced at both this track and distance. He has plenty to find second-up.

Returns from a two-month freshening after running third at Hanshin Dirt, although he was beaten over 10 lengths by Sky Meteor and started at big odds. His previous eighth behind Belle Veil was plain, but the broader 1400m record is useful, with two placings from three tries. He has a sound place case if he can finish closer to the winner.

Closed strongly for third at Niigata Dirt last start, beaten a long neck by Ricordi Oro as favourite, and that is the best recent reference in this field. He was safely held two back behind Luz Solar, and his 1400m record still asks a question, but he is race fit and rated strongly on current form. With Mirai Iwata aboard, he gets a very good chance to break through.

Has been last in both starts, most recently well beaten at this track over 1800m after conceding a huge start and never entering the race. His Tokyo debut was similar, beaten over 18 lengths in a NEWCOMER at long odds. Third-up fitness is some context, but he has to show a completely different level at 1400m.

Led narrowly on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track but was swamped and finished last, beaten over 20 lengths by Yokohama Blues. He backs up quickly and drops in class, yet there was no real excuse for the way he weakened. The new 1400m test may suit better, but he still has to find a much stronger finishing effort.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a disappointing debut at Hanshin Dirt, where he finished second last and was beaten out of sight by Andre Barows in a NEWCOMER. That was no-excuse form, but he now drops into a Mdn and gets Cristian Demuro, a strong track jockey. If he takes the expected step from that first outing, he can rebound sharply.

Was well beaten by 21 lengths on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER, fading late behind Hamed Style after starting at generous odds. He also finished behind Three I Atlas in that race, so the form has to be treated cautiously. The class drop and Kohei Matsuyama booking are positives, but he profiles more as a place hope if he improves.

Ran second at this track last start, beaten seven lengths by Verviers after having his chance but battling into the minor money. The run prior at Hanshin Dirt was also honest enough, finishing fourth though beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in betting. Third-up, with a placing at both this track and distance, he is a solid winning hope in this line-up.
