Kyoto Race 4 - Maiden Race
THUNDERBIRD (15) sets the standard after a solid 3rd at Kyoto over 1800m last start, beaten 3.25L after racing on speed. INFIORATA (11) rates a key chance back to 1800m with prior Kyoto figures including 5th over 2000m and close 4th at Kokura; the 53kg is a plus. TENDER WORDS (8) was 5th at Kyoto over 1800m, beaten 3.02L, and can be in the finish again. EIKAI KOVACS (13) has a 3rd at Hanshin over 2000m this prep and was 5th at Kyoto over 1800m earlier, so must be respected.
