Hanshin Race 10 - 2016 Memorial Kitasan Black Cup

ALMA DE ORO (8) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a neck, over 2000m at Sapporo. Should be poised just off the lead. Jockey has a strong record while aboard. Expected to be in the finish. NARITA ESPERANZA (10) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Scored over 2000m at this track at the start of last prep. Goes well fresh and here. Will give a sight. JOY BOY (11) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on June 14, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 2400m at Tokyo. Worth plenty of thought. BETTLES (15) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 2400m at this track. Definite top-three chance.

Back after a long spell. Only had one start last campaign raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on March 29 over 2000m, 0.8 len behind Eco Tailor with 56.0kg at $5.10. When resuming last campaign 8th of 12 at Kyoto on January 12 over 2400m, 6 len behind Arrondi carrying 55.0kg at $13.20. Marginal prospect.

Most recently got back early 4th of 7 at this track on September 5 over 1800m, 4 len behind Cor Leonis carrying 58.0kg at $14.70. The start before that 7th of 13 at Sapporo on August 22 over 2000m, 5 len behind Can't Wait carrying 58.0kg at $16.10. Rather invest elsewhere.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of four months. Finished off last campaign ninth of 17 at Tokyo May 31 over 1800m, 3 len behind Reigning with 57.0kg at $15.20. When resuming last campaign third of 18 at Kyoto April 26 over 1800m, 2.25 len behind Igatchi carrying 57.0kg at $34.40. Certainly one to consider.

Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at this track on September 5 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Cor Leonis carrying 58.0kg at $15.80. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Third-up today. Comes off a 51 day let-up. First-up favourite; won by 1.0 len at Hakodate on July 5 over 2600m defeating Ask Dead Heat with 56.0kg at $1.80. Last start made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 16 at Sapporo on August 1 over 2000m, neck behind Yo Hin carrying 56.0kg at $4.10. Can improve further. Jockey has a strong record while aboard. Top chance if at his best.
