Kyoto

EPSILON NUMBER (1) First run back from a 26 week break. Nice effort to run into 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last run at Nakayama and has the ideal gate. Finishes off strongly. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. SORTE AREIA (4) Was found wanting late when 2nd last time at Hanshin. Should be going forward early. Will be there at the finish. MACHINE (6) Finished with intent when 3rd beaten by 5L last start at Hanshin. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Displays good finishing speed. Winnable race. ZEN ESPOIR (5) Weakened to finish 9th last time at Hanshin. Possesses very good finishing speed. Key player.
