Hanshin Race 2 - Maiden Race
Very weak race. MR EMERALD (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt.Close to a win and gets chance. GRAND CHAMP (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth in a 2000m contest at this track three weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LA VILLETTE (2) was never in contention on debut last time out over 2200m at Chukyo, finishing 13th and beaten 15 lengths. Better for that experience and expected to be competitive. GIREY (8) ran a better race last start to finish sixth over 1800m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Stepping up in distance this time and can feature prominently.
