Hanshin Race 4 - Maiden Race
AQUA EYE (7) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a neck, over 1400m at Kyoto when returning from a break. Should park just off the speed. Best form puts her right in this. DANON BELLE VUE (5) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1600m at this track. Should go well with Kawada to steer. AYRTON (16) was in contention on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1600m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of ability. Has to be respected. JUDY IMERU (8) is yet to break through after nine starts. Placed two back then last time out was fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Can sneak into the finish.

The run before that 3rd of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on February 14 over 1400m, 8 len behind T O Purcell carrying 55.0kg at $7.60. Showed enough last start to suggest she can take this out.
