1800m – Dirt

Cor De Anil

Has only two finishes on board in last 10 starts at this level, both 1800m, largely over left-handed tracks. First time at Kyoto with new rider. Showed good turn of foot recently. Could surprise.

Double Joke

Was switched to shorter distances after two poor finishes at this level but with little luck. Now back at 1800 with a 2-4 last month, both over Kyoto 1800m. Worth a wager. Slow to fire but has good turn of foot.

Hrungnir

Races handily. Four finishes in top three while only two poor results from six starts, with late break and return from layoff likely factors. This time returning after 4 months. Weight on raceday should be noted.

Kazu Laureato

Has failed to win over last 16 starts, with only two finishes in money and 5 on the board. Likely not competitive here.

Kurfurst

Versatile colt but tends to race handily. On a roll from February with 5 straight finishes in top three. Finished third last out at this level following layoff and improvement expected. Nice late kick.

Marble Mountain

3-year-old filly moving up in class. Both wins over left-handed tracks with an 8-6 racing to right. First time at Kyoto. Has good speed, but may not perform at best to right.

Over The Dream

Took nine starts to move up to this class. Disappointed in last two outings, likely due to heavy going and a left-handed track. Rather inconsistent. Return to Kyoto likely a plus. 

Patient Sien

Moving up in class. Ritto-based 3-year-old has only 5 career starts with three of them in the money. Late break and long haul to track likely factors in poor finishes. Is 1-2-1 over Kyoto 1800m. Venue certainly a plus.

Rouge Chouette

3-year-old filly moving up in class after only two starts after breaking maiden. Finished in top three over last six starts. Is 3-1 over Kyoto 1800m. Good early speed. Will have female jockey Naho Furukawa up, with field’s lightest weight of 112lb. Promising.

Sky Dweller

Moved to this level last start. Won at NAR track after four previous poor finishes over JRA tracks. First time at Kyoto, but speed likely not competitive here.

Turbulencia

7-year-old has best two fifths in last six starts. Speed lacking. Likely not competitive here.

Zapatear

Has best third and only finish on the board from four starts at this level. Tends to race handily but one gear. New jockey booked. Not promising.
