Kyoto Race 2 - Mdn Race
HEAVEN IN THE RAIN (3) sets the standard after a strong 2nd over this Kyoto 1400m, and a kinder draw should help her hold that level. WATER GARUDA (14) rates the main danger with a debut 2nd at this track and trip, the outer alley the only query. ARGENT LEO (13) is in the mix after a close 3rd over 1400m at Niigata and can progress. CRUST MOON (6) has been hitting the line at 1200m, including a Kyoto 3rd, and the rise to 1400m could suit; narrow preference for HEAVEN IN THE RAIN (3) on proven local form.

Third up and drawn to advantage, with the barrier improving from 7 to 1. Last start at Niigata over 1200m she was 7th of 13, beaten 7.31L at $4.33 on good ground. The inside draw gives Ryou Takakura options stepping to 1400m at Kyoto under Hidenori Take, which can help her find a more economical run. A kinder map from the rail can see Stella Vento hold a position and improve.

Second up and draws much better, moving from barrier 13 to 2. Last start at Hanshin over 1400m on 26 Sep she finished 15th of 15, beaten 38.15L at $201.00 on good ground. The softer gate with Manabu Sakai aboard can help her find a more practical spot.

Second up and draws much better, coming from barrier 16 to 3. Ran 2nd of 16 over this Kyoto 1400m on 4 Oct, beaten 2L at $17.00 on good ground. With the kinder gate off that run, she looks a live chance to hold form.

Drops back to 1400m after finishing 7th of 9 over 1600m at Kyoto on 4 Oct, beaten 9.52L at $34.00. The return to this track is a plus and the shorter trip could prove more suitable. Katsuma Sameshima sticks, and a cleaner run at this distance can see improvement.

Haruhiko Kawasu sticks with Ribbon Rosetta, and the setup looks consistent. Holds a tidy platform to be competitive at this trip.

Placed in 3 of last 3 and comes here fourth up, holding her form. Latest run was 3rd of 15 at Hanshin over 1400m on 26 Sep, beaten 2.8L at $2.80, which reads well for this trip. Strong rapport with Atsuya Nishimura and Tomokazu Takano (3:0-2-1). Prinkipissa profiles as a consistent filly suited to this set-up.
