Kyoto Race 1 - Mdn Race
A VRAI DIRE (10) sets the standard off a solid 2nd at this track and trip last start, with consistent 1400m form suggesting it can hold that level. MASTERPIECE (6) is the main danger after a 2nd over this course and distance on muddy going and should be competitive again from a softer draw. FIRST STATE (7) has a case after finishing 4th here at 1400m two back and brings race fitness. LUNA VERITAS (8) can improve back to 1400m after a 3.9L 6th at Kyoto over 1600m. Leaning A VRAI DIRE (10) to edge a similar result to last start.

Second up after a Hanshin 1200m run on 20 Sep when 13th of 15, beaten 37.75L at $51.00. Draws the inside after barrier 6 last time, which is a meaningful improvement. Steps to 1400m at Kyoto with Manabu Sakai aboard for Yoshitake Hashida. Needs to lift, but the softer draw and extra trip give her a different set-up.

Second up and drops from a wide alley to barrier 5, which should help. Last start at Kyoto over 1600m on 1 Nov she finished 16th of 17, beaten 14.53L at $126.00 on good ground. Back to 1400m and with Ryo Takakura riding, Ursus gets a more favourable set-up to improve.

Third up and back to Kyoto 1400m after finishing 4th of 15 here on 12 Oct at $12.00, albeit beaten 11.01L. Draws better this time with an improved barrier from 12 to 7. Cristian Demuro sticks, which adds continuity. First State has a tidier set-up to hold a position and improve on that latest result.

Fourth up and returns to 1400m at Kyoto, the scene of her latest run. Last start here on 12 Oct she finished 9th of 12 over 1400m on good going, beaten 4.7L at $201.00. Yuji Hishida sticks, and the race experience at the track should aid her.

Ran well at Kyoto over 1400m on 1 Nov, finishing 2nd of 11, beaten 1.5L at $3.20 on good ground. Maps to a similar set-up here and has handled this track and trip. From barriers 7-10 she’s 3:0-1-1, which reads solid. With Ryusei Sakai booked again, A Vrai Dire has the right profile to be competitive.
