Kyoto Race 9 - Rindo Sho
VIVERONE (6) sets the standard after a dominant 2.5L win at Chukyo 1400m on 30 Aug (55kg, SP 1.38), and draws better. BENIBANA (1) is third-up and proven at 1400m, coming off a Chukyo win on 23 Aug (54kg, SP 1.38) and now from barrier 1. RAMLA BAY (7) resumes off a strong Chukyo 1400m win on 1 Aug by 1.25L and maps to be on speed again. GAL'S MIND (3) brings sharp 1200m form with a 1.25L Sapporo win on 30 Aug and can measure up rising 200m from a soft gate.

Comes third-up from barrier 1 after a Chukyo 1400m win on 23 Aug, stalking the speed and scoring by 0.3L at $1.38 with 54kg. That followed a solid 3rd over the same track and trip on 1 Aug, beaten 1.26L at $8.5. Up to 55kg but draws ideally, and her 1400m record (2:1-0-1) reads well for this setup.

Third-up and returns off a 62-day break with a 2kg rise to 55kg after a Niigata 1000m win on 1 Aug (Class unknown) when leading throughout from barrier 10 at $2.15, edging Forever Blue by 0.1L. Prior run was a solid 3rd at Fukushima over 1200m on 5 Jul, sitting handy throughout at $8.5. Draws barrier 2 and steps up 400m, which gives her a favourable map to use early speed again.

Third-up and coming off a Sapporo 1200m win on 30 Aug, sitting handy before drawing clear by 1.25L under 55kg at $7.5. Earlier this prep she was 3rd over 1500m at Sapporo, so the 200m drop to sprinting clearly suited and she holds that weight. With barrier 3 after winning from 13, this maps favourably for another forward showing.

Impressive last start at Nakayama over 1200m, leading throughout to score by 0.75L at $31 with 55kg in a 14-runner field. That marked a sharp turnaround from her debut 7th at Fukushima, and she now draws barrier 4 with Hideaki Miyuki aboard. With a 200m rise in trip, she looks to have progressed well into this preparation.

Fourth-up filly who won over 1200m at Hakodate two back (Good) when leading, beating Arte Queen, and was 6th there last start on yielding going, 3.9L from Felicita after settling back. She comes off a 75-day break, draws barrier 5, and drops 200m which could sharpen her early speed. Solid enough profile to be competitive if she reproduces her winning pattern.

Third-up and fresh off a dominant Chukyo 1400m win 33 days ago, taking the lead late to score by 2.5L at 1.38 with 55kg. Prior run was a solid 3rd at Hanshin 1600m, beaten 1.01L at 5.5, so the drop back to 1400m clearly suited. Maps well from barrier 6 with Kohei Matsuyama again, and her distance record (1:1-0-0) underlines a strong setup.

Impressive debut at Chukyo over 1400m, pressing the speed before drawing clear by 1.25L at $4.8 under 55kg, and she sticks with the same jockey and trainer. Second-up here from barrier 7 again, her perfect distance and rider records point to another bold showing.

Impressive on debut at Sonoda over 820m, scoring by 4L at $1.73 under 55kg, and she returns second-up after 42 days. Faces a significant rise to 1400m and a wider barrier 8, but her jockey partnership (2:1-1) and stable continuity add confidence for another forward showing.
