Hanshin Race 5 - Maiden Race
SATONO AGUDO (5) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest a barnstorming third over 1800m at Kokura. Has ability and is clearly the one they have to beat. BIG HERO (12) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1800m at Tokyo. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Chukyo over 1600m. Ready to find winning form. REALIZE LUMINOUS (7) was popular in betting last time out but disappointed in finishing fourth over 1600m at Kyoto, beaten 2.5 lengths. Worth including in this suitable contest. FUSEN (14) finished third last time over 2000m at Kyoto, beaten 5 lengths. In the right race and is a key runner.
