Hanshin Race 8 - Sumire Stakes(L)
PAGE TURNER (1) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 2000m at this track ten weeks ago and has not been produced since. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. AURUM ARES (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance in the Gr 1 Hopeful Stakes over 2000m at Nakayama, clocking in 2.25 lengths from the winner. That is excellent form for a race of this standard. Leading contender. NARITA ESPERANZA (7) broke through for his maiden win over 1800m at Kyoto last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Definitely worth including. GAUDI (6) kicked off this prep with a win six weeks ago, scoring over 2400m at Kyoto. Promising colt with a lot more in store.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when favourite; won by a neck at this track December 14 over 2000m defeating Edwin Narco carrying 56.0kg at $1.30. Should be right in the finish.
