Kyoto Race 4 - Mdn Race
HANANA (4) Flashed home late into 2nd last time at the track. Likely to be well placed early. Can measure up to this company. RED TYRANT (13) Resumes after a spell. Came in 3rd last run at Chukyo and was on debut last time. Jockey Cristian Demuro and trainer Yasuo Tomomichi are a strong combination. Genuine winning chance. SOUND FIGHT (9) Fresh today. Strong run when placing 3rd last run at Chukyo. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. LILY GALAXY (11) Didn't threaten when 15th last time at Niigata. Strong each way bet.

Has been well held in both runs this campaign, finishing last at this track when unwanted in the market and giving little in the run home behind Etoile Hammer. The start prior on Kyoto Dirt was also plain, beaten over 18 lengths by Mars Eclair. Race fitness is in his favour third-up, but the recent figures leave him with plenty to turn around.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing fifth at Hanshin, beaten just over six lengths behind Saimon Legacy when the final effort was only moderate. He had earlier run fifth at Sapporo after settling rearward, so the form has been consistent rather than threatening. Back around 1800m, where he is unplaced once, he profiles as a place hope if sharper late.

Made debut in a NEWCOMER at this track over 1600m and finished eighth of 17, beaten just under nine lengths after settling rearward at long odds. The move into Mdn company gives her a more suitable assignment, but she has not raced around 1800m before and will have to find a good deal more second-up to trouble the better chances.

Put the best recent run on the table when second at this track over 2000m, beaten just over a length by Kaen Force after closing nicely into the placing. That followed a sixth at Tokyo where she was again near the top of betting, so the market has consistently respected her. The return to 1800m is a small query, but she brings the strongest exposed form and is the one to beat.

Improved last start when sixth at this track over 1600m, beaten two and a half lengths by Sound Amuse despite being at long odds. That was a clear step forward from a second-last over 1200m, although she remains unplaced from three starts and has not raced around 1800m before. Third-up fitness gives her a minor hope if she sustains that latest lift.

Was safely held on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track over 2000m, finishing tenth of 13 and beaten just under ten lengths after settling rearward and making no late impression. She does come back to Mdn grade second-up, but the market gave little encouragement first time out and her race form has to improve sharply from that starting point.

Comes back quickly after finishing second last at this track over 1600m, beaten over 13 lengths by Dragon D'Or after fading late and being unwanted in the market. His previous run was also last of eight at this venue, beaten just under ten lengths, so the pattern is hard to support. Race fitness is there, but the form line is well short of this.

Worked home evenly on debut at Tokyo over 1600m, finishing eighth of 18 and beaten just under four lengths by Lilas Nova despite being at long odds. That is a better platform than many of these bring, and the move from NEWCOMER to Mdn company is in his favour. The first try around 1800m is the key question, but he has genuine place claims with natural improvement.

Resumes after three months off having finished third at Chukyo over 1600m, beaten just under four lengths by Cool Taro after working home evenly. His debut eighth there was not far away either, and he has placed once from two starts overall. The 1800m is new ground, but that exposed placing gives him a solid chance to return competitive.

Finished last on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track over 2000m, beaten over 14 lengths behind Faucon Noir after fading late, and he was unwanted in the market. A ¥38.5m yearling purchase, he is entitled to improve with experience and drops into Mdn company, but the first run leaves him with a substantial performance gap to close.

Was beaten a long way at Niigata last start after tracking the speed and failing to quicken, which is a major concern with no clear excuse. The debut fourth at Chukyo was much better, beaten just under four lengths by Dragon Baldr after picking up well, so there is a small base to work from. He has to rebound sharply to be a factor.

Finished ninth on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track over 2000m, beaten just under nine lengths by Faucon Noir after being close enough early and then falling back through the field. The market was against him and he now has to come from barrier 12. Mdn grade is easier, but he must show far more resilience late.

Resumes after four months off following a debut third at Chukyo in a NEWCOMER over 2000m, beaten just over eight lengths by Luna Passione in a small field. He did not finish it off fully, but he still placed at his only start and remains open to improvement for a strong trainer-jockey combination. The wide draw and new 1800m are queries, yet his upside keeps him high in calculations.
