Hanshin Race 9 - Azalea Sho

AURUM ARES (2) wasn't far away last time and is edging towards a win, the latest effort a solid second over 2200m at Listed level at this track. Extra trip a plus and he is among the main hopes. BLACK OLYMPIA (4) is a promising galloper who got the prize at his only run last prep ten weeks ago over 2200m at Kyoto. Winning rider Yuga Kawada stays aboard. Good fresh performer who should be in the finish. CUT SOLO (3) got off the mark over 2400m at this track last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Re-unites with Ryusei Sakai who was on board last start. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. TAGANO ALTURA (9) broke his maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten a neck into second over 2400m at this track. Seinosuke Yoshimura stays on. Not to be discounted.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track in LR on February 21 over 2200m, 0.8 len behind Large Ensemble with 57.0kg at $2. Before that made ground from midfield; 4th of 16 at Nakayama in the G1 Hopeful Stakes on December 27 over 2000m, 2.25 len behind Lovcen with 56.0kg at $16. In the finish last time and should go well again.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Kyoto January 24 over 2200m defeating Matenro Origin with 57.0kg at $3.10. First up last campaign 2nd of 9 at Tokyo on October 25 over 2000m, nose behind Up Helly Aa carrying 56.0kg at $2.90. Looks a key runner.

Second run from a spell 4th in a small field at this track on March 8 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Kafuji Emmental carrying 57.0kg at $6.40. Shouldn't trouble the top few.

Second-up. First-up after two months from last on the turn 5th of 7 at this track on March 15 over 2400m, 2 len behind Shadow Master with 57.0kg at $11.90. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by a neck at Nakayama Dirt January 4 over 1800m defeating Paradise Faith carrying 57.0kg at $4.10. Unlikely to threaten.

Most recently 2nd of 7 at this track on March 15 over 2400m, neck behind Shadow Master carrying 57.0kg at $4.80. The race before that 5th of 13 at Kyoto in LR on January 24 over 2000m, 6 len behind Shonan Hayanami with 57.0kg at $34.10. Solid prospects with a similar effort to last time.
