Hanshin Race 11 - Nigawa Stakes(L)

MEURSAULT (7) last appeared when successful by a neck over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt three-and-a-half months ago, the only time he went to the races last prep. Has a high cruising speed. Yet to prove himself at this level but this is an ideal race to chalk up a first black-type success. Z LIEN (11) scored an impressive win by 3 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Five-times stakes-placed so must be respected. COURS MIRABEAU (1) is back at the races for the first time since December 21. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep at Listed level over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Sure to make his presence felt. TRIPOLITANIA (6) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Has a solid second-up record. Can improve sharply.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Most recently faded in the straight 11th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt in the G2 Procyon Stakes on January 25 over 1800m, 6 len behind Lord Couronne carrying 57.0kg at $241.30. The race before that couldn't go on with it; 13th of 16 at this track in LR on December 21 over 1800m, 13 len behind Le Cheval D'or with 58.0kg at $85.70. Prepared to just watch today.
