Hanshin Race 2 - Maiden Race
APPAREIL (7) was beaten a neck into second when returning from a spell and tackling a dirt track for the first time last start over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Sure to come on from that last run and will pay to follow up. SESSHU (3) will find this a little easier than his third on debut eight weeks ago, beaten 2.5 lengths at the end of 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Drawn well close to the inside so he should be in the finish again. KEEP SHINING (9) was well fancied last start over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt when second, beaten 8 lengths. Seinosuke Yoshimura has registered three minor placings when on board. Certainly one to consider. LUX DREAM (16) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Lightly raced colt who is a solid top three hope.
