Kyoto Race 2 - Mdn Race
LORD FLORIS (2) sets the standard third-up after a Hanshin 2000m 2nd on 19 Sep, beaten 0.3L after racing handy at SP 5, and draws barrier 2 again. SOKAI FUNKY (9) has matched that form with 3rds at Hanshin and Chukyo over 2000m, leading last time before holding 3rd, and can be prominent from barrier 9. First-up ON YOUR MARKS (3) brings a June Hanshin 1800m 3rd (1.5L) and now steps to 2000m from an improved barrier 3 with Yutaka Take retained. REPAS DE COUR (4) was sound 5th at Hanshin 1600m on debut and rises 400m second-up, which could suit from barrier 4.

Second-up from barrier 1 after a debut at Hanshin over 2000m where she sat midfield and finished 10th of 14, 12.45L off Nero Noir at $126 carrying 55kg. The inside draw offers a softer run, and with the short 14-day turnaround she can improve with race experience.

Second-up at Hanshin over 2000m he sat handy throughout and finished 2nd of 8, beaten 0.3L by Saimon Legacy at $5 carrying 55kg. That run followed a Chukyo 2000m debut when closing from well back to 4th/11, and he now draws barrier 2 third-up with 56kg.

First-up with a tidy profile, having finished 3rd at Hanshin over 1800m on 14 Jun (8 runners) when 55kg at $4.2, beaten 1.5L after racing handy. Draws barrier 3 today (from 7 last time), rises to 56kg and stretches 200m, with Yutaka Take aboard again and a 1-from-1 placing record with the trainer-jockey combination. Well set up to run well fresh again.

Debuted at Hanshin over 1600m, racing handy before boxing on for 5th of 10, 3.31L off Brad Barows at $6.5. Second-up here from barrier 4 with a 400m drop in trip to 1200m, which could sharpen her early position under Yuichi Kitamura; measured hope to progress.

Second-up after a debut 10th of 14 at Hanshin over 1600m (SP 41) when beaten 10.8L, settling handy before fading. Drops 400m in trip and draws barrier 5 with Kyosuke Kokubun aboard, which could help her find a more comfortable rhythm. Scope to improve with that run under her belt.

Third-up after a 35-day break, he steps back 200m to a trip close to his debut third at Sapporo over 1800m (12 runners, 1.51L, 55kg, SP 16). Last time he raced on the speed before fading to 7th of 9 at Sapporo over 1800m (10.05L, SP 41), and now carries 56kg from barrier 6 with Hayato Yoshida again booked. A return to a slightly shorter journey could help him recapture that debut effort.

Second-up after a debut at Hanshin over 1800m 13 days ago when 15th of 16, beaten 33.17L at $71 from a wide barrier 15. Drops 200m and draws barrier 7 here, which should offer a more economical run. Needs to show sharp improvement but the setup is more forgiving.

Third-up and back from a tough Nakayama 2000m run 27 days ago on yielding ground when beaten 25.5L at SP 7, having previously chased home Vip Venus by 0.3L over 1800m at Fukushima. With 55kg and Kohei Matsuyama from barrier 8, her earlier 2nd this prep suggests she can rebound back at this trip.

Fourth-up and on a 13-day turnaround, he comes off a Hanshin 2000m run where he settled back and held 6th of 7, 5.05L behind Gaillarde at $61. His Kokura 1800m effort two back was sound, finishing 5th of 11 beaten 3.81L after racing midfield, and he carries 53kg from barrier 10 today; a similar run see him competitive for a minor placing.
