GOING: G

Maiden Race 2400m

Track: FIRM      

Moderate tempo with Kazu Abdeen leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. MAKE YOU MINE (1) showed good early speed when resuming last start before boxing on well and finishing second, beaten a nose, over today's trip at Hanshin. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAKE THE CROWN (10) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 2400m at Hanshin when he was prominent throughout. Sure to run well. KAZU ABDEEN (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at Hanshin, beaten one length. Useful colt with plenty of improvement in store. SATONO PHANTOM (9) did a good job on debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third over 2400m at Hanshin. Open to plenty of improvement.
