Kyoto Race 11

The Kbs Kyoto Sho Fantasy Stakes(G3)

Prize Money: $562,705

BISCUIT SAND (3) Back after a break. Caught the eye when 3rd last start at Chukyo. Gets a chance to win. NIX LUNA (4) Picked up late to win last start at Hanshin and showing consistent performance in races. Been in the money each attempt this preparation. No shock to see a win. IMOGEN (6) First up from a spell. Narrowly denied a win last run at Hakodate. Can measure up to this company. TSUKIMI (11) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Finished well when winning last time at Sapporo and having second career run. Yuga Kawada is a crucial engagement. Can give this a shake.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after winning her Chukyo debut over 1600m, leading into the straight and holding Lienfini by half a length in a NEWCOMER on good ground. She was respected in an open market and draws barrier 1, which suits her natural speed. The query is back to an untried 1400m in black-type company, but she has enough upside to be a legitimate place hope.

Comments

Returns from a three-month spell after making a winning Chukyo debut over 1200m, where she led clearly and kept finding to beat Corbeta by just over a length. That was a sound first statement, but she now tackles an untried 1400m and rises into black-type pressure. Winning rider Osuke Tayama stays aboard, though this demands a sharper level again.

Returns from a three-month let-up after finishing third in the G3 CHUKYO NISAI STAKES, beaten just over three lengths by G T Maika after doing her best work late. She had won on debut at Hanshin, charging home to beat Siskin Bloom by just over a length, and her record at this distance reads one win and one place from two starts. With Yuichi Kitamura back aboard, she has a strong winning profile.

Comments

Returns after five weeks on the back of a Hanshin Mdn win, settling rearward before beating Fortuna Rossa by a neck over this trip. That followed a second to Luz Solar, beaten a length, so she is building a reliable profile at 1400m. Mirai Iwata has been aboard for a win and a placing from two rides, and she is fit enough third-up to run well again despite the black-type rise.

Comments

Returns after five weeks following a dominant Nakayama Mdn win over 1200m, where she was a well-supported favourite and beat Special Thanks by three and a half lengths. Her previous second at Sapporo came at generous odds after leading and being run down by Tapputi. She has placed at around 1400m, so the trip is not the issue, but black-type depth makes her more of an each-way hope.

Comments

Resumes after four months away having already shown genuine Group 3 quality, beaten only a neck by Felicita in the G3 Hakodate Nisai Stakes after picking up well late. She had won on debut at Hakodate, beating Sonic Isle by just over a length when strong through the line, and has placed in both career starts. The 1400m is new, but Cristian Demuro has won this race twice and she looks the one to beat.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fifth in the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes, beaten seven and a half lengths by Lotschberg when in touch but unable to threaten. Her Tokyo debut win was narrow but came as a heavily backed odds-on chance, which says she had been held in good regard. Same sire as 2024 winner Dantsu Elan, though she has to rebound to be a serious factor.

Won on debut at this track and distance, working home over the top to beat Heaven In The Rain by two lengths as an odds-on favourite. That gives her the most direct 1400m evidence in the field and she has already handled this venue. Takeshi Matsushita won the Kyoto Sho Fantasy Stakes in 2019, and this filly looks a strong chance to carry that profile into black-type company.

Comments

Worked home fairly when fourth at this track last start in an ALLOW, beaten a length and a half by Ramla Bay after being near the top of an open market. She had won a Chukyo Mdn start prior, arriving late to beat Prinkipissa by a neck as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. Her 1400m record is sound enough, but she has to find a stronger finish to trouble the main hopes.

Resumes after four months unbeaten from two starts, capped by a neck win over Imogen in the G3 Hakodate Nisai Stakes at long odds. Her debut was more dominant, beating Cockney by three lengths at Hakodate after travelling strongly. The 1400m remains untried, but the exposed winning form is hard to knock and she must be respected as a leading place hope with winning claims.

Comments

Returns from a three-month freshening after winning her Sapporo debut as favourite, beating Green Island by a length and a half after looming and fighting on strongly. Yuga Kawada takes the ride and has won the Kyoto Sho Fantasy Stakes twice from six rides in the last decade, while she was a ¥31.9m purchase. The wide draw makes it less straightforward, but she has the right profile for the minors.
