Kyoto Race 2 - Mdn Race
BOBBY THE GREAT (2) sets the standard with back-to-back 3rds at 1800m and consistent placement, suggesting this trip suits. DREAM AMNIS (12) appeals as the main danger after a solid 4th at Kyoto 1800m, holding his form at the track and trip. TEMU RATION (10) can run well off a respectable 4th at 1800m last start, though the margin was sizeable. KANETOSHI BRAIN (4) is in the mix after a 6th at Kyoto 1800m beaten 6.25L and can progress second up. Leaning to BOBBY THE GREAT (2) to convert consistency into a maiden win.

Second up and draws the inside after barrier 7 last time, which could help his pattern. At Kyoto over 1400m on 25 Oct he finished 13th of 16, beaten 12.34L on a sloppy track at $7.50. The rise to 1800m and a softer map from gate 1 give Kohei Matsuyama options. Snark Gauguin can improve with fitness and a kinder run in transit.

Fourth up and placed in 2 of last 3, he brings solid grounding for this 1800m. Last start at Hanshin over 1800m on 19 Sep, finished 3rd of 8, beaten 6L at $3.80, which reads well for a maiden. Draws better here moving from barrier 6 to 2, which should aid Yuji Hishida. Sound chance to be competitive for Suguru Shibata.

Second up after a Kyoto 1800m run on 24 Oct when 15th of 16, beaten 23.61L on muddy going at $151.00. Draws much better this time with the barrier improving from 15 to 3. Takuma Ogino rides for Hiroshi Miyamoto. Needs to lift, but the softer draw offers a chance to improve at the same trip.

Second up after a Kyoto 1800m run on 24 Oct when 6th of 16, beaten 6.25L on muddy going at $11.00. Sticks to the same track and trip with Kanta Taguchi up again, and that experience should tighten him.

Third up and stretching to 1800m at Kyoto after finishing 12th of 13 over 1400m here on 8 Nov when beaten 24.9L at $151.00. Draws better from barrier 6 after coming out of 9 last time. Set-up looks more forgiving and the new trip gives Arancia a chance to find improvement.

Fourth up and sticking to 1800m at Kyoto after finishing 8th of 11 here on 24 Oct, beaten 16.3L on muddy going at $41.00. The experience at the track and trip gives a reference point, and conditions may be different this time. Osuke Tayama stays aboard for Keiji Yoshimura. Needs to lift on that latest effort but the set-up is familiar.
