Hanshin Race 6 - Maiden Race
MATENRO ORIGIN (8) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 2200m at Kyoto when coming back from a spell. Lightly raced colt who will improve off that run and looks ready to win. SAGARMATHA (5) looked good at his only appearance ten weeks ago over 1800m at this track, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths. Will be better for that race experience and can feature again. CUT SOLO (11) came from midfield on debut last start to finish second over 1800m at Tokyo in an impressive performance. Has plenty of upside so he is a strong chance to break through. ROSA RUGOSA (3) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 1.3 lengths away in third over 2000m at Kokura. Backmarker who keeps coming. In contention.
