Kyoto Race 9

Iwashimizu Stakes

Prize Money: $333,704

MINI TRANSAT (7) finished seventh when resuming at this track over this distance last time out. Has a very good record over today's journey with three wins from six starts. Will drift back but wind up late. Leading contender. KINGMAKER (10) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fifth over 1600m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Fitter for recent racing so a big run is likely. WATER GERBERA (2) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1600m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. COR LEONIS (4) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on November 30, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 2000m at Tokyo. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming won by a neck at Nakayama December 21 over 1600m defeating Piko Rose carrying 58.0kg at $4.60. Second-up raced on the pace before fading ran last of 15 at Nakayama on January 18 over 1600m, 9 len behind Polka Rhythm with 58.0kg at $18. Has a nice gate but this will test.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation 8th of 18 at Hanshin on December 7 over 1800m, 4 len behind Readiness with 55.0kg at $62.70. First up last campaign second last of 18 at Niigata on August 24 over 1600m, 14 len behind Fervent with 56.0kg at $28.80. Not keen on his chances.
