Kyoto Race 5 - Maiden Race
LONG HOLIDAY (8) Resuming after a break. Faded away to finish 14th last time at Kokura. Can show a better performance this time and solid career start. Has genuine claims in this race. FLARE OF SENSE (9) Faded away when 4th last start at Fukushima but back to a shorter distance. Will be there at the finish. BRUISER (2) Got tired late when 4th last time at Hanshin and has a positive alley. Underrated. BACHELOR (12) Moderate showing when 11th last start at Fukushima and will be down in distance. Should be swooping on the field late. Could work into the placings.

Started at $151.00 and ran 10th last start at Hanshin but drawn well. Expected to settle towards the tail. Very unlikely.

Made considerable ground when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at Hanshin. Likely to settle back in the field. Prefer others.

First up today. Started $81.00 and was ordinary when 14th last start at Hanshin but fitter for debut run. Likely to get back in the field. Rises in weight. Looking elsewhere.

Was $26.00 and struggled with the pace when 16th last time at Hanshin but having second race start. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Facing an increased distance. Looks too tough.

Odds of $67.00 and ran 8th last time at Fukushima but fitter for debut run. Does take a while to get into stride. Rather have another day.

First run back from a break. Jumped at $6.50 and lost ground in the run home when 14th last time at Kokura. Can show a better performance this time. Stamps its reason for consideration.

Started $2.50 and overrun in the closing stages of the race when 4th last start at Fukushima but coming back in trip. Rates as one of the key chances.

Racing fresh today after a break. Looked good when 2nd last time at this track. Will be giving the leaders a big start. May find these too slick.

At $19.00 lacklustre showing when 11th last start at Fukushima and down in distance. Possesses good closing speed. Not at all out of this race.
