Kyoto Race 1 - Maiden Race
MELLIFLUOUS (3) sets the standard with a string of 1200m placings, most recently 3rd at Kyoto over 1200m beaten 2.5L after a solid on-pace run, and earlier a narrow 2nd at Nakayama over 1200m. PRUDENCIA (9) is a key chance dropping back to Kyoto after a fast-finishing 3rd at Hanshin over 1200m, beaten 0.6L, and a prior 2nd at Kyoto over 1200m by 0.75L. ZAKINO FRIENDS (4) has nearby 1200m seconds at Chukyo and Hanshin and can be prominent from a softer draw. CURLICUE (1) resumes at 1200m after a brave 3rd at Chukyo over 1400m when crossing from gate 16 and should land handier from barrier 1.
