Kyoto Race 3 - Mdn Race
DON CRUSH (2) sets the standard off a strong 2nd at this track and trip, beaten 1.25L on debut and clearly marked in the market to go one better. DUAL SIGN (6) is the main danger after a close 2nd over 1600m at Hanshin, with two runs at the trip and solid closing effort last time. MARUKA CRAIC (9) has claims after finishing 4th of 16 over this track and distance on debut, the 3.25L margin reading well in a modest field. EMOTICON (3) is an outside hope dropping to 1600m after a midfield 1800m run, but needs a step forward. Lean DON CRUSH (2) in a race where the proven Kyoto mile run looks the key.

Fourth up and draws the inside after jumping from 5 last time, which could help. Latest run was 7th of 10 at Kyoto over 1800m on 3 Oct, beaten 6.15L at $9.00 on GOOD. Back to 1600m at the same venue with Keita Tosaki aboard, a softer set-up that gives him a chance to improve.

Second up and draws better, shifting from barrier 6 to 2. Debuted at Kyoto over 1600m on 10 Oct and ran 2nd of 14, beaten 1.25L at $2.60. Stays at the same track and trip with Kenichi Ikezoe aboard. Well placed to build on that promising first run.

Second up after a Hanshin 1800m debut on 6 Sep when 5th of 10, beaten 7.75L at $23.00. Drops to 1600m and switches to Kyoto with Atsuya Nishimura aboard. The softer ground is a new variable, but the set-up could help him find improvement. Genuine place chance if he builds on that first outing.

Third up and back to 1600m after finishing 8th of 10 at Kyoto over 1800m on 3 Oct, beaten 6.65L at $71.00. That run came on GOOD, and the switch to SOFT could offer a different scenario. Draws on Yuji Tannai again for Akio Adachi. Needs to lift but the drop in trip gives him a chance to improve.

Third up and coming off a solid Hanshin 1600m effort on 27 Sep, running 2nd of 8 at $4.75 and beaten 0.75L on GOOD. Stays at 1600m and gets Kyoto on SOFT, which provides a new set-up to build on that run. With Yuichi Kitamura aboard again, the recent placing reads well in this small field.

Second up and stretches to 1600m at Kyoto after finishing 13th of 15 over 1400m here on 3 Oct, beaten 12.92L at $151.00. Draws better with barrier 7 after coming from 11 last time. The softer ground is a new query, but the extra trip and improved gate give this colt a cleaner set-up to find improvement.

Second up after a Kyoto 1600m run on 3 Oct when 14th of 16, beaten 23.9L at $67.00 on GOOD ground. Stays at the mile and gets SOFT conditions this time around. Needs to lift, but race experience at the track should help.

Second up after a solid Kyoto 1600m debut on 3 Oct, finishing 4th of 16 at $16.00 and beaten 3.25L. Stays at the mile and returns to Kyoto, which suits. Soft ground is a new query, but that first-up run reads well. Competitive claims with natural improvement.
