Hanshin Race 9 - Horaikyo Tokubetsu
STOP THE TIME (1) went forward when resuming last start over 2200m at Chukyo and held on well for third, beaten 5.5 lengths. In a suitable race and can play a major role. WURTTEMBERG (5) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fifth at Kokura two starts back then scored by a neck last time out over 1800m at Kokura. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. PAO DE ACUCAR (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 1.2 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. DANON FREUDE (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 8 when beaten 2.5 lengths into sixth at this track over 2000m after being prominent at the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
