Kyoto

MEISHO YASHIMA (7) First up after a break. Set the pace when winning by 3L last start at this track and will be well suited at the distance. Must respect. BAKKEN RECORD (12) Did well to run into 3rd last run at this venue. Yutaka Take usually performs well for the Shinichiro Akiyama stable. Very competitive this preparation. Underrated. SMART KAIROS (6) Backs up quickly. Peaked on the run when 6th last run at Nakayama. Appears well in this. MEISHO KASHIWADE (14) Finished with intent when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last start at Hanshin. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. Has the speed to overcome the wide gate. Has the ability to figure.
