Kyoto Race 3 - Mdn Race
HANANA (5) brings the best recent figure, boxing on for 6th at Tokyo 2000m last start (4.95L at 55kg) and now third-up with Kawada aboard. BENIR L'AVENIR (2) was brave on debut at Hanshin 2000m, leading to the furlong before finishing 3rd (2.6L at 55kg) and draws barrier 2. ZAKINO SUGAR (7) closed soundly for 6th at Kyoto 2000m (3.85L) from a wide gate and now maps better from barrier 7. PEPTIDE DEVICE (8) was a solid 4th at Nakayama 1800m on debut (4.8L on yielding) and rises 200m, which looks suitable off that run.

Debuted with a solid 3rd at Hanshin over 2000m (Sep 26), leading for much of the race before finishing 2.6L behind Nero Noir at $10. She draws barrier 2 and stays at 55kg second-up, with the distance and setup mirroring her promising first run. Forward showing again looks within reach.

Second-up after a debut at Kyoto over 2000m when he raced handy before fading to 11th of 12, beaten 20.9L at $51. Draws much better today moving from barrier 12 to 3, which could help him settle more economically. Needs to lift, but the improved gate offers scope for progress.

Second-up after a sound debut at Kyoto 12 days ago, where he settled back from barrier 10 and worked into 6th of 12 over 2000m, beaten 3.85L at $51. Draws better in barrier 7 and stays at 56kg for Atsuya Nishimura, which could help him hold a spot closer in the run. With natural improvement at his second start, he can progress.

Solid debut when 4th of 14 at Nakayama over 1800m (SP 3) on yielding going, beaten 4.8L after settling midfield. Second-up here with 56kg, a 1kg rise, and draws barrier 8 after 10 last time; the slight drop to 1600m could help his finishing effort. Competitive showing is within reach if he builds on that first run.
