Kyoto Race 2 - Maiden Race
RED FREUDE (9) sets the standard after leading and boxing on for 3rd at Kyoto over 1800m last start, beaten 1L, and was also 3rd at Chukyo over this trip prior. DAIMEI KUMAMOTO (6) rates the main danger with a Kyoto 1800m 2nd two back after a handy 5th at the same course and distance. LILY THUNDER (8) is in the mix off a last-start 3rd over 1800m at Hanshin and a prior on-pace 4th over 1900m. SUNRISE NAZCA (3) improved to 5th at Kyoto over 1800m and can hold that form.
