Hanshin Race 5 - Maiden Race
LORD STUNNING (4) wasn't far away on debut last start over 2000m at Kyoto, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths after coming from well back in the early stages. Likely improver and looks the one to beat. HAM TAN (17) showed ability at his only start back on July 20 when second over 1800m at Hakodate. Jumps from a wide alley but should feature in the finish. LAPIN D'OR (1) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Kyoto, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. ACE FLIGHT (7) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 1800m at this track when lining up for just the second time. Must be included in calculations.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 12 at this track on December 21 over 1800m, 1.0 len behind Trinity carrying 56.0kg at $4.40. Last start 4th of 18 at Kyoto on February 15 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Avion with 57.0kg at $1.90. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, second last of 16 at Kyoto on February 10 over 1600m, 17 len behind Elegance Ask with 57.0kg at $108.70. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start 7th of 14 at Kyoto on February 7 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Sapporo Ikuko with 55.0kg at $10. The run before that raced on the pace before fading 12th of 16 at Chukyo on December 20 over 1600m, 8 len behind An Die Musik with 52.0kg at $5.80. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.
