Hanshin Race 11 - The Mainichi Hai(G3)
KAFUJI EMMENTAL (2) returned from a three months break over 1800m last start and got the job done by 3.5 lengths at this track. Big winner fresh at this course and distance. Expected to measure up again. ALTRAMUZ (4) was far too good on debut then Grade 3 placed before another break.Drawn well and will be winding up late. UP HELLY AA (6) was a strong maiden winner then put away. Just missed fresh and looks hard to hold out again. LORBEERKRANZ (3) opened this prep last start with a seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1800m at Kyoto. Solid return in stakes class. Best figures measure up. Should progress from that first-up run.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. At the latest run 7th of 10 at Tokyo Dirt in LR on February 22 over 1600m, 10 len behind Lucky Kid carrying 57.0kg at $12.90. Before that 5th of 11 at Kyoto Dirt on January 5 over 1800m, 6 len behind T M Sao Leve with 57.0kg at $3.80. Disappointing last time but extra trip a plus and placed only try here.
