Hanshin

MEISHO JINRAI (11) Back from a break. Ran home strongly to win last time here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has a great burst of speed late. Has the ability to figure. CLUTCH SLUGGER (15) Mediocre display when 10th last time at Chukyo. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. GOLDCOT (4) First run back from a break. Ran over the top of them when winning last start at Kyoto. Likely to get back in the field. Stays under notice. L'OTTOBRATA (10) First up from a break of 16 weeks and couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 3rd first up last preparation at Kyoto. Exotics chance.
