Kyoto Race 1 - Maiden Race
ARGYLE SHORE (10) rates on top with consistent 1400m form and a last-start 2nd at Hanshin over 1400m, coming from back in the field. KEEP SHINING (5) is a key chance off repeated Kyoto/Hanshin 1400m placings, including 2nd at Kyoto then a close 3rd at Hanshin. OKEN BLOOD (15) brings solid recent 1400m figures with 2nd at Hanshin last start and earlier 2nd at Kyoto. JA NALIA (7) maps handy and has been around the mark, notably 2nd at Hanshin then 3rd last time. NIHONPIRO LOCUS (14) is also in the mix after back‑to‑back 4ths at 1400m.
