Kyoto Race 2 - Mdn Race
DONNA'S ECLIPSE (8) sets the standard off a narrow 2nd over 2000m at Tokyo, holding consistent figures at the trip and arriving rock-hard fit. AMBER LIGHT (1) appeals as the main danger after a debut 2nd at this track and distance, drawn the rail and proven at Kyoto 2000m with 55kg. ARCANE TRAIL (4) is in the mix after finishing 4th over this course and trip, and can build from that. DEEP NIGHT (10) has been around the mark with a 5th at 2000m and could grind into the finish. Leaning to DONNA'S ECLIPSE (8) to break through.

Second up after a promising debut at Kyoto over 2000m on 4 Oct when 2nd of 12, beaten 1.5L at $126.00. Stays at the trip and keeps Osuke Tayama. That run reads well for this and he looks a solid chance to progress.

Second up after a Kyoto 1600m run on 10 Oct when 10th of 14, beaten 10.85L at $91.00. Draws much better this time, moving from barrier 12 to 3, which should help at 2000m. Yusaku Kokubun sticks for Tomoyasu Sakaguchi. Needs to lift on that debut effort but the kinder gate offers a chance to improve.

Second up after a 2000m Kyoto debut on 11 Oct when 4th of 11, beaten 3.5L at $15.00. Draws better from barrier 4 after coming from 8 last start, which can help him hold a spot. With Mirai Iwata up again for Yoshito Yahagi, this looks a workable set-up to progress.

Second up after an 11th of 16 over 1600m at Kyoto on 3 Oct, beaten 7.9L at $81.00. Steps to 2000m, which offers a different test for this 2yo colt. Kanta Taguchi sticks, and staying at Kyoto could help him settle into the prep. Needs to lift but the extra trip gives some scope to improve.

Second up and stays at 2000m after a Chukyo debut over this trip on 30 Aug, finishing 7th of 11, beaten 9.6L at $9.00 on good ground. The experience should help and Kohei Matsuyama sticks. Kyoto may suit better and he can improve with the run under the belt.

Second up after a Kyoto 2000m debut on 11 Oct when 9th of 11, beaten 7.9L at $151.00 on good ground. Stays at the same trip under Yamato Ishikawa for Takatoshi Miyaji. Needs to improve off that experience but the continuity at track and distance gives him a clearer target.

Ran a strong 2nd of 14 over 2000m at Tokyo on 11 Oct, beaten 0.3L at $6.50 on good ground, which reads well for this trip. Draw improves from 13 to barrier 8, a tidier map than last time. With Yuga Kawada booked, that last run sets a solid platform at Kyoto.

Second up and gets notable changes from the debut, dropping from 55kg to 52kg and drawing barrier 9 after jumping from 15. Debut at Kyoto over 1400m on 11 Oct was a tough introduction, finishing 13th of 16 at $201.00. Up to 2000m and with the weight relief, a quieter ride from Seiya Morita can help her find a more suitable rhythm.

Third up and stretching out again to 2000m, Deep Night brings a solid Chukyo effort where he finished 5th of 11 over this trip on 29 Aug, beaten 4.55L at $29.00 on good ground. That run suggests he stayed the distance genuinely. With Hideaki Miyuki sticking, he has a base to hold his form at Kyoto. A measured chance to improve further at this journey.
