Kyoto Race 4 - Kyoto 4r Eqplayerbuttonbyaccount('202604080904', 2);
Leaning to PASSION CAESAR (11), whose short quote marks him as the market pick in a big 1400m soft-track maiden. MARGOT VIM (4) appeals as the main danger at similar trip and profile, also well found in betting. ZARAFET (15) has to be respected on debut with solid support and a wide draw that can keep her out of trouble. SNARK GAUGUIN (7) is next-best on the market and maps to get a clean run from a middle gate; marginal preference to PASSION CAESAR (11) in a race of newcomers.
