Kyoto Race 6 - Maiden Race
BIXBITE (9) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.6 lengths adrift in third over 2000m at this track when fresh from a break. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. SCRUMPTIOUS (5) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in sixth at Kokura over 2000m. Worth following up with that first run out of the way. POUND FOR ONE (15) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 2200m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GOLDEN BOB (8) was safely held last start on debut over 2000m at Kokura. Should appreciate the longer journey now. Could sneak into the finish with some natural improvement likely.

Returns from a 29-day let-up. Most recently got back early 9th of 18 at this track on January 10 over 2400m, 7 len behind Gaudi carrying 57.0kg at $69.80. Before that second last of 8 at Hanshin on December 7 over 2000m, 7 len behind Matenro Zero with 56.0kg at $29.50. Rather invest elsewhere.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 8th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on November 22 over 1400m, 11 len behind Katarite carrying 56.0kg at $5.80. Last start 8th of 11 at Hanshin Dirt on December 14 over 1800m, 17 len behind Sunrise Kevin carrying 56.0kg at $22.30. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Second-up. Promising on debut sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 13 at this track on October 12 over 2000m, long-neck behind Visage with 55.0kg at $34.60. Returned from break 3rd of 18 at this track on January 17 over 2000m, 0.6 len behind La Concha Bien with 55.0kg at $4.70. Placed 2/2, both here and can only be fitter for a big return. Strong winning chance.
