Hanshin Race 2 - Maiden Race
WONDER SOLDAT (4) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in the firing line on the corner, finishing a neck from the winner in second at the end of 1800m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. GUMBAI (11) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth at Nakayama over 1600m. Kept coming and worth following up. T M STAR RUN (3) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in contention on the bend over 1800m at this track, an improvement on his ninth on debut at Kyoto Dirt the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SABLE DIAMANT (1) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished ninth over 1800m at Kyoto. Expected to feature.

When resuming last campaign fourth of 13 at Kyoto November 30 over 1800m, 6 len behind Sound Move with 56.0kg at $31.70. Has upside and drawn for a good run. Likely to play a major role.

Having third race start. At long odds at debut, 6th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on February 7 over 1800m, 12 len behind Allen Star with 54.0kg at $31.80. Second-up raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at this track on February 22 over 1800m, neck behind Biz Road carrying 54.0kg at $84.30. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
