Hanshin Race 4 - Mdn Race
RIVER SONIC (9) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over this course and distance at the first run of the prep. Strips fitter and will be getting home hard. SPARTAN X (13) showed early speed from a good draw and led until entering the straight last start, eventually holding on for second and beaten 1.75 lengths over 1800m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. KING'S TALE (12) returns after three months in the paddock. Commenced last prep with a minor placing at this track over 1800m. Should be ready for this. ON THE (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt eight weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well.

The run before that 12th of 15 at Chukyo on March 22 over 2000m, 11 len behind Losange carrying 57.0kg at $83.70. Would be better placed in something easier.
