Hanshin Race 12 - Allowance Race

CURLICUE (4) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Fitter for that last hitout and she looks hard to stop again. AOI REGINA (7) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt when coming back from a spell. Among the leading chances. YUTO THE REN (14) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on May 23, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Worth plenty of thought. MEISHO DRIVE (9) is back at the races for the first time since May 30. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Worth plenty of thought.

Second run back. First-up after three months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at Chukyo Dirt on August 23 over 1200m defeating Keiai Maunga carrying 54.0kg at $7.10. Previously second-up 5th of 16 at this track on February 28 over 1200m, 9 len behind Blue Mckinzie with 55.0kg at $3.60. Too good from a wide gate last two. Clearly the one to beat again. Improver with winning prospects.
