THE KBS KYOTO SHO FANTASY STAKES 1400m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong pace headed by Maple Happy, Angelitas and Black Chalice. FESTIVAL HILL (2) is a talented filly who has been in the money at both appearances. Last appeared when she finished rattled home and finished third over 1600m in the Gr 3 Niigata Nisai Stakes on August 24. Has great scope for improvement so she is sure to prove tough to beat. BLACK CHALICE (5) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1200m at Hakodate. Key runner. MEISHO HAKKEI (7) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1400m at this track. Takes on a better field this time but she should be very competitive. BERET BASQUE (6) comes here off a last start second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1600m at Nakayama. Credentials hard to fault and deserves a chance at this level.
