Kyoto Race 1 - Maiden Race
KIRIOS (9) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 1800m at this track. Meets a pretty thin line-up today and should win. TRANSMARINE (4) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished 11th at Kyoto over 1800m, beaten 8 lengths. Can come on from that run and looks the main threat if there is one. WALDSTEIN (1) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 8 lengths when in the market. Likely improver with top three prospects. RED FRASER (2) raced once in the maiden preparation when ninth at Chukyo Dirt over 1800m back on August 23. Can do better with that run under his belt.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 13th of 15 at Kyoto on January 31 over 2000m, 13 len behind Balios carrying 57.0kg at $153.90. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

Last start ran last of 11 at this track on January 25 over 1800m, 15 len behind Rock Band carrying 54.0kg at $419.10. Recent form not good enough.
