Hanshin Race 9 - Yamaboshi Sho
Small field but most have claims. LIZHITSUMODORAICHI (2) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 1.5 length win on debut over 1800m at Niigata Dirt last time. Can kick on with that race experience on board and should prove tough to beat. UNDINE (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 7 lengths at today's track and distance when resuming from a break last start. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. NIGHT PILOT (1) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 3.5 lengths over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Among the main chances on that form. ELAN VITA (3) has not appeared since he scored on debut over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt on June 27. Right in the mix.

Getting off the mark on debut; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 3.5 len win at Nakayama Dirt on September 12 over 1200m defeating Gemini Dieu with 55.0kg at $10.80. Drawn perfectly and he is a top chance.

Most recently 7th of 12 at Sapporo on August 29 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind World Angel carrying 55.0kg at $8.90. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Sapporo on July 25 over 1200m defeating Tosen Lourdes carrying 55.0kg at $3.60. Not keen on her prospects.

Second-up. Promising on debut sat on the pace when 3rd of 13 at this track on June 13 over 1400m, 5 len behind Chloris carrying 55.0kg at $4.10. Returned from break favourite; came from midfield and scored a big 7 len win at this track on September 13 over 1400m defeating Still Love Her carrying 55.0kg at $2.80. Great chance to make it two in a row.
