Hanshin Race 1 - Hanshin 2Yo Maiden
SUNRISE KEVIN (10) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was handy all the way over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MEISHO NANASHIRO (11) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SHONAN SAFIRA (1) debuted three weeks ago when he finished eighth over 2000m at Tokyo, beaten 5.5 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end. AMETHYST LORD (7) debuted five weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten 6 lengths. Can improve sharply.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 10 at Kyoto Dirt on November 15 over 1800m, 3.5 len behind Boom Bap Beat carrying 56.0kg at $5.80. The race before that raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 11 at Kyoto Dirt on October 25 over 1800m, 3 len behind Golden Slam with 56.0kg at $15.10. Plenty to like about his prospects.
