Hanshin Race 11 - The Challenge Cup(G3)

GIOVANNI (15) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten half a length, over 2000m at Kokura when returning from a break. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and in the same class can go one better. MATENRO GALE (9) is a handy type who resumes. At his last appearance he finished fifth over 2400m in the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby), beaten 2 lengths. Won only try course and distance and placed 2/2 when fresh. Key runner. MAGLIA IRIDATA (11) was unbeaten from three runs last campaign and yet to miss the frame in eight runs. Excels fresh and should be right in the finish. KALAMATIANOS (8) was popular when resuming last start over 2000m in the G3 Tanabata Sho at Fukushima but finished seventh, beaten 7 lengths. Has a decent second up record. Likely improver.

Filly returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign to post a big 5 len win. Fukushima June 27 over 2000m defeating Fiore Strada carrying 56.0kg at $1.70. Previous preparation first-up favourite; won by 2 len Nakayama April 4 over 2000m defeating Bene Spira with 54.0kg at $2. Unbeaten from three runs last campaign and yet to miss the frame in eight runs. Excels fresh and should be right in the finish.
