Hanshin Race 2 - Maiden Race
SMART GLOIRE (11) was beaten just a neck last start and landed his first top-three finish in the process at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m. Looks close to a win and gets his chance in this suitable contest. A SHIN IN OUT (1) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 6 lengths over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Has upside and gets his chance to break through. COELI VENTO (8) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 1800m at Kyoto. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. SHARIKIMON (7) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1800m at Kokura, beaten 6 lengths when unwanted in betting. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.
