Chukyo Race 6 - Hamanako Tokubetsu

MY VALENTINE (1) is a progressive three-year-old colt who resumes from a break of nine weeks, his last appearance being a win over 2200m at Hanshin at his only run of that campaign. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Expect a bold showing. CARINO (5) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 5 lengths away in third at Hanshin. Overdue and gets chance. CURREN TULSI (3) went fast early and went on to score by 2 lengths when resuming last time out over 1800m at Kokura. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. SATONO IVORY (2) bounced back last start and scored by 0.8 lengths over 2000m at Kokura. Solid top-three prospects.

Resuming. Only had one start last preparation tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at Hanshin June 6 over 2200m defeating Fusen with 54.0kg at $7.90. When resuming last campaign 11th of 18 at Kokura on February 14 over 2000m, 10 len behind Nombre D'or with 57.0kg at $14. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at Kokura July 5 over 2000m defeating Beyond The Dream carrying 55.0kg at $6.30. The race before that ran second last of 10 at Kyoto on May 16 over 2000m, 7 len behind Red Raja carrying 57.0kg at $3.90. This is well within his grasp.
