Kyoto Race 1 - Maiden Race
ROUGE EPIC (8) appeals most after back-to-back 4th placings at Hanshin over 1800m, latest from midfield when closing to be beaten 8.5L. MACAROON BLUE (3) is a key chance with prior 2nd and 3rd at 1800m and can improve off a Niigata 6th on sloppy going. LE PAPILLON BLANC (12) brings solid form, beaten a nose when 2nd at Hanshin over 1800m two starts back and a Kawasaki 1400m 3rd last week. MILLION UP (1) was 4th at Kyoto over 1800m last start, beaten 4.35L, and draws the rail again.
