Main Pick Analysis 🔥
◎ 2 Dea Veloce
In its previous 1-win class race at Hanshin Turf 1200m, it took 1st place. Even though it couldn't secure a good position right after the start, it used its late speed in the straight to win, showing it wasn't just a front-runner's victory but a win based on pure ability. Its 4th place finish in the Fillies' Revue two starts ago shows it can hold its own in 1400m graded races without collapsing. This time, the race shortens to Kyoto Turf 1200m. With many horses wanting to lead—like Melancholinista, Ange Promise, Eishin Deed, Hishi Aira, and Tagano Araria—the pace is likely to be fast. If the front-runners battle it out, this horse's closing speed will be perfectly suited for the development of the race. Furthermore, drawing the #1 gate (inner stall) is a huge advantage. On the Kyoto 1200m course where it's hard to reach the front if you swing wide, being in a position to save ground on the inside is a clear plus. The popularity isn't overly concentrated, so considering its ability and the draw, there is significant value. I expect a potential upset if it can navigate the inside without loss and find a gap in the straight.
