Hanshin Race 2 - Maiden Race
SKY STRIPES (1) ran on hard to finish fourth on debut then sat close latest and was fourth again latest. Can get the job done. SERGE BAROWS (10) raced on speed on debut and boxed on well for a solid third. Improvement to come and should go well. PIENA ORCA (6) came from a long way back on the turn to hit the frame when fresh from a spell. Improver with winning prospects. NISHINO TRIBUTE (5) was fair on debut but weakened late. Fitter again and capable of plenty of improvement.
