Hanshin Race 2 - Maiden Race
DIAMOND KNOT (5) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1200m at Kokura. Well placed and happy to have him on top. VOGEL (10) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth over 1600m at Chukyo seven weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. JOKER (7) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1600m at Chukyo. Has ability and is among the chances. SHALLOW ARROZ (1) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish third last time over 1600m at Chukyo, beaten a long neck. Among the chances.
