Kyoto

YAEGIRI (5) Claimed late when 2nd last run at Hanshin and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Should come to hand quickly. Jockey Yuga Kawada is a plus. Deserves consideration. JEZERO (7) First up after 51 weeks and kept coming when 2nd beaten by 3 1/2L first up last preparation at Chukyo. Solid career start. Dropping back to a shorter trip. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. PERE NOEL (9) On a quick back up. Managed to place 2nd last time around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Displaying good ability this campaign. Strong chance. MOONLIGHT RUGGER (1) Finished 8th last time at Chukyo but has minimal work to do from the stall. Should be swooping on the field late. Could be value.
