Hanshin Race 8 - Allowance Race
WONDERFUL DAYS (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start when he worked home well but found a couple better over 2000m at Kyoto, beaten only a long neck. Has the ability to take care of this field. GAUDI (7) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 2400m at Kyoto. Makes plenty of appeal. FUSEN (8) broke through for his maiden win over 2200m at Kyoto last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Should be in the finish again. YOKA O (6) ran a better race last start to finish fourth over 2000m at Kyoto, beaten 0.7 lengths. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is open to further improvement.

Second run back. First-up after three months raced behind the speed prior to fading 11th of 16 at Niigata on May 16 over 1800m, 7 len behind Lulu Lima carrying 56.0kg at $19.60. Previously second-up 13th of 16 at Kokura on February 15 over 2000m, 12 len behind Danon Gian with 55.0kg at $26.30. Needs to do a lot more.

Back after a long spell. Only had one start last preparation held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Kyoto on October 18 over 2000m, 1.5 len behind Bagan carrying 56.0kg at $4. When resuming last campaign 4th of 13 at Nakayama on March 1 2025 over 2200m, 2.5 len behind A O King with 57.0kg at $64.80. Solid top-three proposition.

Most recently 4th of 10 at Kyoto on May 16 over 2000m, 0.7 len behind Red Raja carrying 57.0kg at $22.90.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Kyoto April 25 over 2200m defeating Cosmo Firenze carrying 57.0kg at $2.90. The run before that 4th of 14 at this track on February 28 over 1800m, 6 len behind Realize Luminous with 57.0kg at $19.60. Can go on with it.
