Hanshin Race 9

Erica Sho

Prize Money: $209,819

STRAWBERRY TREE (1) is a talented filly who has been in the money at both appearances. Has not been produced since she scored over 1800m at Sapporo on August 23. Should be prominent from the outset. Likely to feature. BLAENAVON (3) was too good for a maiden field last start over 2000m at Kyoto, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Seinosuke Yoshimura was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Progressing well so worth following up. CORONADO BRIDGE (7) looks to launch this prep the way he ended the last three months ago when he scored over 2000m at this track. One of the better chances. BERESHIT (8) is back from a spell of five months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, scoring in a 1800m contest at Kokura by half a length. One of the contenders.

Second run back. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after three months second last of 8 at Kyoto in LR on October 26 over 1800m, 6 len behind Badrinath carrying 56.0kg at $35.30. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Kokura July 19 over 1800m defeating Coronado Bridge carrying 54.0kg at $3.40. Needs to do a lot more.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
