Hanshin Race 3 - Maiden Race
HABILE (6) met with solid support last start over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt when second, beaten 3.5 lengths, to make it two runner-up finishes from as many race starts. Brings superior form to this race and should be going one better. TAISEI ZESTY (13) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1800m at this track. Fitter this time and looms as the obvious threat. TEN MAGIC HOUR (8) resumed three weeks ago over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt and was only beaten 0.7 lengths into fourth. Fitter and sure to run well. GERALLIST (7) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when sixth over 2400m at Kyoto eight weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Top four candidate.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 11th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on January 12 over 1800m, 13 len behind American Style with 57.0kg at $99.90. Last start 6th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on January 25 over 1900m, 5 len behind Domain carrying 57.0kg at $158.60. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 10 at Kyoto Dirt on February 1 over 1900m, 8 len behind Ask Chance Man carrying 57.0kg at $40.90. Before that 6th of 13 at Kyoto Dirt on January 17 over 1900m, 11 len behind Testa Veloce carrying 57.0kg at $8. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
