Hanshin Race 9 - Nose Tokubetsu
MIKKI JUMP (10) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over 1800m at Kokura eight weeks ago. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Expected to be in the finish. TENTER DE VIVRE (5) was well fancied when resuming but found one better at Kokura, finishing 2 lengths adrift at the end of 1800m. Scored at his only try at this trip. Sure to run well. MAJORELLE BLEU (2) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 2400m at Tokyo on May 16. Has claims on his form from last campaign. SHIMI HATTOKU (7) finished sixth over 1800m in the LR SHIRAYURI STAKES at Kyoto at his most recent appearance on May 31. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.

Second-up. Comes off a 56-day let-up. First-up after three months 2nd of 8 at Kokura on July 19 over 1800m, 2 len behind Kuss Kuss with 58.0kg at $1.60. Previously second-up favourite; won by 1.3 len at Kyoto on May 3 over 2000m defeating Sarakosth with 58.0kg at $1.40. Nice retune and has won second-up. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.

Previously second-up favourite; won by 2.5 len at Chukyo on March 14 over 2000m defeating Saimon Chariot carrying 57.0kg at $4.80. Is a second-up winner and placed only try here. Sure to run well.

Second-up. First-up after three months raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at Niigata on August 15 over 2200m, 12 len behind Lord Filer carrying 58.0kg at $65.80. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at Kyoto on May 17 over 2000m defeating Rabuka with 58.0kg at $4.20. Worth consideration.
