Kyoto Race 2 - Kyoto 3Yo Maiden
GRAND CHAMP (11) brings the strongest recent form, finishing 3rd at Hanshin over 2000m, beaten 4L, after a close 2nd at the same track and trip. EXTRA PUSH (2) was 4th in that same Hanshin race and previously ran 2nd at Chukyo over 1900m, making him a key chance. POP UP (5) was 2nd at Hanshin two starts back and can be competitive. KURINO RIKI O (7) was 6th at Hanshin last start and 5th prior, while MEISHO SASSO (12) placed at Chukyo three runs ago. Grand Champ (11) and Extra Push (2) look the main hopes on recent efforts.
