Hanshin Race 1 - Maiden Race
LUFADA (7) finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second when first-up from a spell last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt after racing in the leading division. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ARTHUR BAROWS (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. LORD VERITAS (6) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten half a length. Ready to go a couple better. PUSH FORWARD (1) is a first-starter by Saturnalia from Miss Pascali who has been an outstanding producer including winners at black type level. Has fared well at the barrier draw and should be in the finish.
