Kyoto Race 2 - Mdn Race
LUMEN LUNAE (8) brings strong second-up claims after a Hanshin 1600m 2nd beaten 1.5L at $1.95 with Yuga Kawada and now rises 200m. MEISHO JADE (3) has been runner-up in three of four, including a Hanshin 2000m 2nd by 0.1L last start, and drops 200m from a soft gate. IPPEI (1) maps well from barrier 1 and has consistent 1800–2000m juvenile form, including Hakodate 1800m 2nds and a Sapporo 2000m 3rd 2.8L last start. WICKFORD (10) resumes off an 82-day break but impressed debuting 2nd at Fukushima 1800m, running on from midfield.

Proven around 1800m with two Hakodate seconds, including a 0.3L near-miss to Der Glanz at SP 2.75 carrying 55kg. Comes back 200m after a Sapporo 2000m 3rd (2.8L) at SP 3.25 and draws the inside, rising to 56kg. Solid credentials for this trip and well drawn to get his chance.

Second-up after debuting at Hanshin over 1800m when posted wide from barrier 10 and worked home to 7th of 10, 8.55L behind Lys Gloire at $101. Draws much better in barrier 2 and rises to 56kg; with the experience and softer map, improvement is within reach.

Ultra-consistent colt with three straight 2nds this prep, most recently beaten just 0.1L at Hanshin over 2000m on 12 Sep after leading, sent off $7. He drops 200m, rises to 56kg, and draws barrier 3 again, with Keisuke Dazai maintaining a jockey record of 0:3-0 from three rides. Profiles to be around the finish again given his narrow last-start miss and suitable draw.

Third-up and drawn well in barrier 4, he returns to 1800m after leading and fading for 9th of 11 at Chukyo over 2000m on 29 Aug (GOOD) when 55kg, SP 11, beaten 16.85L by Mannat. Prior run was 11th of 13 at Tokyo over 1800m on 21 Jun (GOOD), beaten 8.65L by Aviatore. Needs to lift but the drop back in trip and a slight weight rise to 56kg could help his pattern.

Third-up and returns after 69 days, with his best recent run a 4th of 10 at Niigata on 25 Jul over 1800m, beaten 3L under 55kg at $17 after settling last and closing into 4th behind Resolutio. Prior start he was 5th of 14 at Fukushima over 1800m, 5L off Star Spot at $41, again making ground from midfield. Drawn barrier 5 and up to 56kg, he looks a steady improver deep into the prep.

Fourth-up and back from a 76-day break, he rises 3kg to 56kg and stretches sharply in trip (+600m). His Kokura 1200m prep featured a best of 5th/16 on yielding (started 151) and two wide-margin defeats on good ground, so the new distance is a genuine query. Drawn barrier 6 with Fuma Matsuwaka up, he needs to lift to figure.

Second-up after a 69-day break, she rises 200m to 1800m and carries 55kg. Debuted at Niigata over 1600m, settling midfield before finishing 7th of 8, 2.75L behind Scepter'd Isle at $13. The draw shifts from 2 to barrier 7, and with natural improvement second-up she can be more competitive.

Promising debut at Hanshin over 1600m, sitting 5th before running on for 2nd by 1.5L at $1.95 with 55kg. Second-up after 20 days, rises to 56kg and draws barrier 8, with Yuga Kawada sticking. Minor improvement would see him right in the finish.

Second-up after an 82-day break, he returns off a debut 2nd at Fukushima over 1800m (Good) where he ran on from back in the field to finish 3.5L off Risanautr at SP 5 carrying 55kg. Up 1kg to 56kg and drawn barrier 10 after gate 4 last time, with the same jockey-trainer combination that’s 1:0-1-0; solid platform to build on.
