Ask Doux Porte

Improving colt with two 2nds in the last two starts at this level. Only beaten a neck over this course and distance last month. One to focus.

Cleomenes

Won the lower class in his return to JRA circuits in March. Continued to hold his form well at this level since.

Derma Gremlin

Closed strongly to be second at this level in June.  Back to his form with the fastest closing speed for the last 600m to be fourth last time.

Hagino Aldebaran

Two wins in last two starts. Versatile. His staying power likely to suit the outside course at Kyoto. Chance.

Meiner Messiah

Showed little in five runs this term. A tough task.

Meisho Gekirin

Already 17 career starts with mixed form over dirt and turf at four. Took command with 200m to go but faded to 3rd at 2400m over this course last time.

Mitama

3.3L sixth in her second group attempt at G2 in September and came off a 5th place at 2400m over this course last time. A winner over this course and distance.

Red Envy

Mixed form over dirt and turf from 1800m to 3000m in flat racing and steeple-chase race. Yet to win since May 2020. Unplaced in seven starts this term.
 

Stochastique

Returned in April since winning the lower class last September. Best placing at this level was only 5th at 2400m over this course in May but finished out of frame last time.

Tagano Kai

Has struggled to win since January 2021. Unplaced in six starts this term.

Un

A winner over turf and dirt. 2nd at this class in January. Showed little on his return from 5-month break over 2400m at Tokyo last time.
