Kyoto Race 4 - Kyoto 4r
Jockey: Yuji Tannai

Starts his career from barrier 1 and has a useful family pointer through Gold Arch, a half-sibling who won twice from four starts and was fourth on debut over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Naoya Nakamura's debut record is modest, but the draw and pedigree give Gold Biscuits a genuine platform to run into the minor money if he handles race day.

Makes his debut from barrier 2 for Y Shono, who has won with 3 of 31 debut runners and placed 7. Matera Sky colt out of Aries Moon, with Fuma Matsuwaka taking the ride. The stable profile and inside draw give Aries Alba a fair start, though he still looks more of a first-four and placing prospect than a standout winning choice.

Debuts for the H Fujiwara stable, which is flagged as a strong track operation and has won with 4 of 30 debut runners. The Yaupon colt draws barrier 3 and gets Yuichi Kitamura, while the family includes Sharpazano, a winner in the USA. With an inside draw and the right stable profile, Dragon Giorno has a serious winning case.

Begins from barrier 4 with Atsuya Nishimura aboard, and the Yoshiaaki Sugiyama stable has a 4% win rate with debut runners. The Mind Your Biscuits filly does have a reasonable trainer-sire record behind her, with 3 wins from 26 starts, but she will have to produce above the stable's usual debut strike to trouble the main hopes.
Jockey: Seina Imamura

Comes to the races as a Mikki Isle filly with 53kg and several winning half-siblings, including Tanisen Gold and Shine Baobab. Yuzo Iida's debut statistics are light, yet the family has produced winners over a range of trips and Seina Imamura takes the mount. God Scarlet has enough pedigree depth to be competitive for a placing.

Debuts with Yutaka Take aboard and a deep family profile behind him. Half-sibling Yamanin Baroness won on debut over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, while Yamanin Zest was second in the G2 The Kobe Shimbun Hai. Teruhiko Chida has had 3 debut winners from 28, so Yamanin Huracan has a credible profile for a forward showing.

Represents the Y Yahagi yard, whose debut runners have won 4 of 42 and placed 12, and the stable-sire combination with Mozu Ascot is also solid at 8 wins from 71. Ryusei Sakai rides from barrier 7. Mozude Kimari may not have the same individual profile as the top picks, but the stable pattern keeps him in the each-way mix.

Steps out for Tsutomu Ogata, whose debut runners are yet to win from 33 starters, and the trainer-sire combination is also unplaced from one attempt. Tamamo Heroine gives the family a winner, but her own debut was only 11th. Tamamo Macaron will need to exceed the available profile to make an immediate impact.

Starts for Yuichi Fukunaga, whose debut record is strong with 6 wins and 15 placings from 25 runners. By Curlin out of Discern, Amal carries a good trainer profile but has drawn barrier 9 and is rated below the main chances. She is not without interest, though the overall assessment says she has to lift beyond profile alone.

Makes her debut for Keiji Yoshimura with Tom Marquand booked for his only ride, which is a strong engagement in a race of first starters. By Cyberknife out of Souper Sugar Shack, Jellylorum has the right rider-stable shape to make an early impression. The yard's debut figures are quiet, but the jockey booking keeps her high among the chances.

Debuts from barrier 11 for Koichi Shintani, whose overall debut win rate is low, but the New Year's Day stable-sire combination is excellent at 9 wins from 22 and 50% placed. The family has produced tough winners such as Last Baryon and Platina Dream. Vasilopita has pedigree depth, though the top selections appeal more strongly first time out.
Jockey: Yuga Kawada

Debuts with Yuga Kawada booked for his only ride, and that is a major positive for a Flightline colt from the Mitsumasa Nakauchida stable. The yard has placed 10 of 28 debut runners, and its lone runner by this sire line won. Barrier 12 is not ideal, but You Can Dance has the strongest blend of rider, stable and pedigree in the field.

Starts from barrier 13 for M Kon, whose debut record shows 2 wins and 4 placings from 19. By Greater London out of Arnage, Reio Londo has some stable respect in her corner but draws wider than ideal and lacks the stronger supporting angles of the main hopes. A competitive debut would require a sharper first-day performance.

Debuts for Koichi Ishizaka with Cristian Demuro aboard, and the rider brings a strong track profile. The Jack Christopher filly has a useful family reference through I've Got The Honey, who was third on debut before winning in the USA. Barrier 14 is the obvious complication, but Anthophilia has enough quality markers to be a winning threat.

Begins from barrier 15 for Shogo Hatabata, whose debut runners are winless from 31. There is substance in the family, with full-sibling Mozuno Shiawase a four-time winner and half-sibling Mozu Mazoku winning nine, but debut performances from the family have been mixed. Mozu Nonnon looks one for wider exotics rather than a primary winning hope.

Debuts from the outside barrier for Mamoru Ishibashi, whose debut record is 1 win from 23 but a useful 7 placings. By Big Arthur out of Stapes Yuko, Stapes Asami has a Group 1-winning trainer behind her, yet the draw and profile make this a demanding starting point. She will have to show more than the raw indicators suggest.
