Kyoto Race 2 - Mdn Race
SALTO VELOCE (4) sets the standard off a strong 2nd over 1700m and looks well-placed coming back to 1400m on soft ground. TAGANO GALE (5) is the main danger after a clear 2nd here at 1400m, with a kinder draw this time. LANCE OF KNIGHT (2) has claims stepping from a solid 3rd at this track and trip and should get every chance from an inside alley. MANNO EMPRESS (8) can run on for a share after a sound 4th in the same 1400m Kyoto race as LANCE OF KNIGHT (2) and TAGANO GALE (5), but the verdict leans to SALTO VELOCE (4).

Third up and draws the inside after coming from barrier 7 last time, which could help at 1400m around Kyoto. Last start here over 1400m on 3 Oct he finished 9th of 15, beaten 11.07L at $67.00 on STANDARD ground. With the kinder gate and further race fitness, he has scope to improve in these conditions.

Second up after a debut 3rd of 16 at Kyoto over 1400m on 4 Oct, beaten 5L at $31.00. Draws much better now from barrier 2 after coming from 10 last time, which can help build on that solid starting point. With Keisuke Dazai staying aboard, profiles to hold his form at the same track and trip.

Fourth up and back to 1400m after a Chukyo 1600m run on 22 Aug when 5th of 9, beaten 6.26L at $11.00. Handles a softer surface here than last time’s good track. Draws on the experience edge for a 2yo colt and retains Hideaki Miyuki. Honest profile suggests a competitive showing at Kyoto.

Third up and draws much better, coming from barrier 12 to 4. Last start at Sapporo over 1700m he ran 2nd of 12, beaten 2L as a $1.45 favourite. The step to 1400m and softer Kyoto surface are new factors, but the improved gate with Yuichi Kitamura aboard gives this colt a tidy set-up.

Second up and comes off a debut 2nd of 16 over 1400m at Kyoto on 4 Oct, beaten 4L at $3.75. Draws much better this time with the barrier improving from 14 to 5, which can help him hold a spot. Solid platform for another forward showing at the same trip.

Second up and draws much better, moving from barrier 14 to 6. Debuted at Kyoto over 1400m on 11 Oct and finished 15th of 16, beaten 22.15L at $151.00. The kinder gate can help her settle into the race more effectively. Scope to improve with that run under the belt.

Second up and draws better, moving from barrier 12 to 7. Last start at Kyoto over 1200m he was $3.20 and finished 6th of 12, beaten 4.86L on GOOD. The extra trip to 1400m and a handier gate give him a cleaner set-up to show more with Yutaka Take aboard.

Second up after a sound debut at Kyoto over 1400m on 4 Oct when 4th of 16, beaten 5.3L at $14.00. Stays at the trip and keeps Yuji Hishida, which reads well for further improvement. Well drawn to build on that first run and handle Kyoto again.

Back to 1400m after a 1600m Niigata run on 17 Oct when 12th of 12, beaten 12.7L at $29.00 on good ground. Soft conditions at Kyoto provide a different setup and she gets Osuke Tayama aboard. Needs to lift but the drop in trip could help steady the ship.

Second up after an 1800m Kyoto run on 12 Oct when 8th of 12, beaten 10.8L at $41.00 on STANDARD. Drops back to 1400m and stays at Kyoto, which could suit better. Yoshihito Nagaoka sticks with the Teruhiko Chida-trained colt. Place hopes with the distance adjustment and course familiarity.
