Hanshin Race 4 - Hanshin 3Yo Maiden
LA LA FACULTE (11) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks after two solid runs during the maiden campaign, the latest a second over 1600m at Kyoto. Jockey Taisei Danno back aboard and can open winning account. SALT IRIS (8) is a two-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track. Among the leading chances with the run under her belt. I SABEL (7) is appearing for the first time. By Gold Ship out of Enola is out of the K Fujioka stable. Any push in betting should be respected. TANA V HACHI TURBO (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1600m at this track. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
