Kyoto Race 10

Elfin Stakes(L)

Prize Money: $373,377

ADMIRE SHURA (2) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1800m at this track three months ago and has not been produced since. Sure to be further improved this prep and can make it back-to-back wins. FERMI ARC (8) got the job done as favourite on debut over 1600m at Tokyo 11 weeks ago at the only run to date. Expect her to come back bigger and better this campaign. SWEET HAPPINESS (4) is going well this prep and found the line strongly at the latest appearance when fourth in the G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies. Winning rider Riki Takasugi sticks. That elite level form reads well. DEA VELOCE (7) broke her maiden last start over 1400m at Hanshin, scoring by a neck. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. One to consider.

Was at big odds at debut, won won by a neck at Hanshin December 20 over 1600m defeating Call Love carrying 55.0kg at $27.20. No reason she cannot make it two in a row.
