Kyoto Race 5 - Kyoto 5r Eqplayerbuttonbyaccount('202604080105', 2);
Sparse exposed form; monitoring market may prove key. Of those with any pointers, MEISHO SOLEIL (7) resumes after a very long break but has placed 5 times at 1600m and draws well enough in barrier 7. Low-profile profiles elsewhere, so barriers could matter: MARUKA CRAIC (1) maps to get the rail from barrier 1, while TROPHIES (2) and PIMPRENELLE (4) draw soft gates to take handy runs at 55kg and 56kg respectively.

Returns first up after 91 months with a new trainer and jockey, carrying 56kg from barrier 7. His distance record (12:0-3-2) is the most encouraging statistic, though his last Kochi runs in early 2019 were well beaten at 1400-1600m. A cautious watch given the lengthy layoff but the distance profile offers some hope.
