Hanshin Race 2 - Hanshin 2Yo Maiden
BATTLE AX (9) tried to lead throughout and wasn't far away on debut last start over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, finishing second and beaten 5 lengths. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. KANATA KONATA (15) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Has upside and should feature in the finish. G T PICASSO (7) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished seventh over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 8 lengths. Worth considering. LUX DREAM (12) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Among the chances.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on October 26 over 1800m, 13 len behind Danon Bourbon with 56.0kg at $3.60. Second-up couldn't go on with it; 7th of 11 at Kyoto Dirt on November 15 over 1800m, 8 len behind Kentucky Home carrying 56.0kg at $3.70. Should be right in the finish.
