Hanshin Race 8

Nojigiku Stakes

Prize Money: $289,660

Few promising types. G T SAKURA (2) impressed when successful on debut over 1600m at this track three-and-a-half months ago and has not been produced since. Was heavily bet and proved far too good. Promising type who can measure up again. CITY OF DREAM (1) was in control from the outset to score on debut over 1800m at Sapporo five weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. BRAD BAROWS (6) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 1.5 lengths on debut last start over 1600m at this track. One of the main contenders. MEISHO SEIKU (5) won on debut last time out three weeks ago over 1600m at Chukyo, getting home by a nose. Finished strongly to score. Deserves serious consideration.

Freshened since getting off the mark on debut; won by 1.5 len at Sapporo on August 16 over 1800m defeating Regime Change with 55.0kg at $5.60. Led throughout to score from a wide gate on debut. Drawn perfectly and she is a top chance.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len at this track on June 6 over 1600m defeating Logi Crown with 55.0kg at $2.70. Strongly fancied and too good on debut before another spell. Anticipating a bright start to this prep.

Comments

Raced two times to date. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Niigata on August 1 over 1800m, 14 len behind Ho O Monopoly carrying 55.0kg at $208.10. Second-up ran second last of 9 in the G3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes on September 5 over 1800m, 18 len behind Shonan Galleon with 55.0kg at $186.40. This easier but needs to lift substantially.

At the latest run ran last of 7 at Hanshin Dirt on September 12 over 1800m, 22 len behind Hot Rod Heart with 52.0kg at $64.10. The run before that ran second last of 11 at Hanshin Dirt on September 5 over 1400m, 14 len behind Belle Veil carrying 55.0kg at $47.40. Well held last time and facing tough task today.

Getting off the mark on debut; settled well back; won by a nose at Chukyo on August 30 over 1600m defeating La Gatta Reale carrying 55.0kg at $15.70. Came with a big finish to score on debut. Has upside and is a serious prospect in this line-up.

Getting off the mark on debut; won by 1.5 len at this track on September 12 over 1600m defeating Lumen Lunae carrying 55.0kg at $5.20. Led throughout off the inside to score on debut. Better for that experience and is worth following up.
