Kyoto Race 2 - Maiden Race
MEISHO KOSHU (3) appeals most after a strong 2nd at Kyoto over 1800m, beaten 1L when closing from well back. LORD STELLATO (11) is a key chance with recent 3rd at Niigata 1800m and a solid 4th at Nakayama prior. TAMAMO SKY (10) debuted well for 5th at Kyoto 1800m and can progress. LORD FIGHTER (14) has been around the mark, including 5th here over 1800m last time, and is in the mix.

Third-up run at Kokura over 1800m on 21 Feb was the peak, racing on speed and holding 3rd, beaten 1.26L at $31. Since then has struggled, finishing 14th of 17 at Hanshin over 1800m on 14 Mar and 13th of 14 at Kyoto over 1800m on 16 May, both on good ground at big odds. The 3YO colt sticks to 1800m from barrier 4 with Yamato Tsunoda for Shinya Kobayashi. Can feature with a return to his Kokura effort.
