Kyoto Race 1 - Mdn Race
AMERICAN STELLA (9) sets the standard after a strong 2nd over 1800m at Hanshin, beaten 1.5L, and that recent effort reads well against this field. MARGOT BASARA (7) is the main danger, also 2nd over this trip at Kyoto last start and proven in a big field. MANO MAESTRO (11) has the right profile with a 2nd at Hanshin two runs back and wasn’t disgraced at Kyoto since, though the wide draw could test. MEISHO LIBERO (6) appeals as a minor hope off a 4.35L 6th at Kyoto, holding his form at the trip. Narrow edge to AMERICAN STELLA (9).

Second up after finishing 9th of 14 over 1800m at Kyoto on 3 Oct, beaten 24.11L at $23.00. Draws the inside this time after barrier 4 last start, which could help him settle into the race. With Takashi Fujikake sticking, incremental improvement is feasible. Place hopes with a softer run from the draw.

Third up and returns to 1800m at Kyoto after finishing 7th of 8 here on 4 Oct over this trip, beaten 23L at $81.00. That run gives him race-day experience at the venue and distance. With Kanta Taguchi aboard again for Yuji Iida, incremental improvement would not surprise.

Third up and sticking to 1800m at Kyoto after a 6th of 8 here on 10 Oct, beaten 4.35L at $23.00 on good ground. That run came in 1:46.6 and gives a solid platform with Hideaki Miyuki staying on. Stays at the same trip and track, which looks a sensible progression. Respected as a lightly raced colt finding his feet.

Scope to improve for Yoshihito Kitade with race fitness on his side. A modest lift would see him more competitive.
