Kyoto Race 3 - Maiden Race
SECOND TO BEST (1) looks the standout after finishing 2nd at Hanshin over 1600m last start, beaten just 0.3L in a big field. MIRACULOUS EARTH (4) also appeals, having run 4th at Kyoto over this trip last time out, only 0.9L from the winner. AURORA BOREALIS (9) was runner-up at Kyoto over 1600m two starts back, beaten 0.3L, and is another to consider. LUNA FIORE (13) has a placing at this distance and track and could be competitive. Main hopes are Second To Best (1), Miraculous Earth (4), Aurora Borealis (9), and Luna Fiore (13) based on recent efforts at the mile.
