Hanshin Race 2 - Mdn Race
SAIMON LEGACY (8) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 2000m at Chukyo. Placed 2/2 so far and just missed latest. Sure to prove tough to beat. SOKAI FUNKY (5) will find this a little easier than his third on debut six weeks ago, beaten 4 lengths at the end of 2000m at Chukyo. Promising type with improvement to come so he will prove tough to beat. ASTRAL LIGHT (6) wasn't beaten far over 1800m at this track on debut last start and may appreciate the longer journey. Don't underestimate. LORD FLORIS (4) stepped out on his debut over 2000m at Chukyo three weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply.
