Hanshin Race 5 - Maiden Race
HAM TAN (16) finished third, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at this track. Has the race experience advantage over many of these. Should feature in the finish. FORCE TRANQUILLE (6) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten half a length into second at Chukyo over 1600m. Promising type with improvement to come so she should pay to follow. PRESS RELEASE (8) is a well-related three-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Danon Smash from Delfino who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Mitsumasa Nakauchida yard. Definite contender. IKUOKUKONEN (3) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Takashi Saito. By Suave Richard from Nozze D'argento. A good gate is sure to assist. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
