Hanshin Race 11 - Dotombori Stakes

IMBROGLIO (4) was last at the races when she scored over 1200m at Kokura on July 11. This trip suits and goes well fresh. Has a big finish and this is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope. ASAKUSA GRACE (2) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when eighth over 1200m at Kokura. Record at this journey is strong with three wins from 10 runs and shapes as a key contender. MELT YOUR HEART (12) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Was always up in the leading division and finished 2 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 1200m at Sapporo. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. YU PHAROAH (5) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found the front, leading around the bend but capitulating to finish tenth over 1400m at Chukyo. Worth including.

Second run back. First-up after four months faded in the straight 10th of 15 at Chukyo on August 29 over 1400m, 4 len behind Burgtor with 55.0kg at $9.20. Previously second-up 8th of 10 in stakes class at Tokyo Dirt at Tokyo Dirt on February 22 over 1600m, 13 len behind Lucky Kid with 57.0kg at $28.50. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
