Dual Rainbow

Has two seconds in last 8 starts at this level, including two fourths last month over left-handed tracks. Has good results racing to right and broke maiden over Hanshin 1800m. Promising.

For Oneself

Is 6-2-3 at this level after breaking maiden over Tokyo mile. First time at Hanshin. Good late speed, decent speed overall, but chronically late at break. Has 2 seconds over dirt 1800m. Competitive here.

Grootslang

Returned heavy in October to post 12-9 in last two starts, both at Hanshin over 1800-2000m. Overall lacking in speed.

Line Of Soul

Has not raced since May. Third in Hanshin 1800m at this class in March, then 7th in open-class over same distance at Nakayama later that month. Went to gate in late May but dumped rider at break. Good speed. Condition raceday key.

Marumo Ruler

Raced primarily over 1800m and broke maiden at Kyoto, but only other finishes in top three were at Kokura. Last three starts at Chukyo and Hanshin this year have been off board. Speed lacking.

Meisho Mantle

Has had 11 starts at this level and failed to win, but had four finishes in money. Two starts in October over Hanshin 1800m brought 4-5.

Mikino Prince

Raced primarily in sprints with no success, with best fourth in JRA races. Moved to NAR circuit and now returning with longest trip yet. Likely not competitive here. 

Shadow Isle

Is 8-5-3 over Hanshin 1800m. Primed with 5th over Niigata 1800m on 29 Oct. Versatile. Has promise.

Sky Dweller

Failed to break maiden on JRA circuit and was sent to NAR where excelled. Now back. Best results have come over 1500m. Lacks speed. Likely to be a high bar.

Sunrise Arion

Made top three in 3 starts to maiden win over the Hanshin 1800m. Was a far fifth last out over Kokura 1700m possibly hampered by heavy ground. Good late speed. Return to Hanshin a plus.

Vajranda

Has four starts at this level and posted 3-2 over Hanshin 1800m last month. Versatile. Primed and competitive here.

Wonderful Today

Three recent starts at this level for 3-3-2, with last outing over Hanshin 1800m. Good speed. Versatile. One of the top in this field.
