Hanshin Race 2 - Mdn Race
EARTH GRIPPER (2) was fourth on debut then ran a better race to finish third last time, beaten 5 lengths over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Likely to feature. VERVE ELEVEN (7) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at Chukyo over 1400m, beaten 5 lengths. Expected to finish much closer with the race experience on board. SQUAMISH (8) missed the placings on debut two runs back then didn't feature last start when 9 lengths away in fifth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. GRAN MONTANA (11) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 7 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1000m at Sapporo Dirt. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well.
