Hanshin Race 9 - Horaikyo Tokubetsu
GIOIELLO (10) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third when resuming last time out over 2200m at Chukyo. Should be on-pace despite the tricky draw. Won only other try second-up. Improver with winning prospects. WISMAR (7) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 2000m at Kyoto. Both career wins have been while fresh. Bold performance expected. STIRRING UP (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Likely improver with strong prospects. RABBITEYE (3) is back at the races for the first time since August 16. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 2000m at Kokura. Has to be respected.
