Hanshin Race 11 - The Antares Stakes(G3)

SUNDAY FUNDAY (8) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1800m in the G3 March Stakes at Nakayama Dirt. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role in a similar race. MEURSAULT (4) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish a neck away in second over 2000m in Listed grade at this track. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. BRIAN SENSE (1) did a mighty job last time to finish fourth over 1600m in the G1 February Stakes at Tokyo Dirt. Has five wins at the trip. Among the winning hopes in this far easier race. TAGANO BABYLON (3) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a nose, over 1800m at this track when coming back from a break. Kohei Matsuyama who has scored on him twice retains the mount. Up in class but must be respected.

Racing second-up today. Not raced for 49 days. Last run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 16 at this track in LR on February 28 over 2000m, neck behind June Aoniyoshi with 58.0kg at $2.30. At only start last preparation favourite; won by a neck at Kyoto Dirt November 22 over 1900m defeating Hagino Sustainable carrying 58.0kg at $1.70. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Last start raced on the speed throughout before fading second last of 16 at this track on March 22 over 1800m, 11 len behind T O Granville carrying 60.0kg at $3.30. The run before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 16 at Kyoto Dirt in the G2 Procyon Stakes on January 25 over 1800m, 0.6 len behind Lord Couronne with 57.0kg at $12.70. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

The run before that 6th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt in the G2 Procyon Stakes on January 25 over 1800m, 3 len behind Lord Couronne with 57.0kg at $16.20. Hard to imagine a top-three finish.

Comments

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resumes off a 49 day letup. First-up raced on the pace before fading 14th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on February 7 over 1900m, 14 len behind Z Lien carrying 57.0kg at $13.10. Second-up won by a neck at this track LR February 28 over 2000m defeating Meursault carrying 56.0kg at $25.70. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.
