Races ORM Hanshin - JAP

First-starter by Mendelssohn out of Heavenly Romance. Prefer to see him at the races before recommending.

Third race start. First start 12th of 14 at Niigata on August 4 over 1600m, 16 len behind Dantsu Elan carrying 54.0kg at $65. Returned from break 8th of 14 at Chukyo Dirt on March 22 over 1800m, 23 len behind Fairy Blue carrying 55.0kg at $7.80. Unlikely to threaten.

Second-up. First-up after three months couldn't go on with it; 5th of 12 at Chukyo Dirt on March 22 over 1800m, 6 len behind Pod Volk carrying 57.0kg at $21.30. Previously second-up eased back early on 7th of 10 at Chukyo Dirt on September 16 over 1800m, 10 len behind Power Stone with 52.0kg at $68.80. Unlikely to threaten.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 11th of 18 at Kokura on January 25 over 2000m, 16 len behind Dogged carrying 57.0kg at $1.90. Can get the job done.

Three-year-old filly by American Pharoah out of Stopshoppingmaria having her first start. Profiles nicely for this.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 9th of 16 at this track on March 8 over 1200m, 11 len behind Lord Vulcan with 57.0kg at $153.50. Last start 3rd of 16 at this track on March 22 over 1400m, 8 len behind Gabby's Brother carrying 57.0kg at $192.50. Sure to go well.

Third-up today. Resuming 6th of 16 at this track on March 1 over 1800m, 2.75 len behind Song Collector carrying 57.0kg at $6.20. Second run from a spell sat on the pace when 2nd of 12 at this track on March 23 over 1800m, 0.8 len behind Meikei Rosetta carrying 57.0kg at $4.10. Shows promise. Will take beating.

Form hard to fault. Last start crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 12 at this track on March 9 over 1800m, neck behind Eiyu Fire with 57.0kg at $2.20. The race before that came from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Kyoto Dirt on February 15 over 1800m, neck behind Salt Chudo carrying 57.0kg at $2.40. In the finish last time and should go well again.

Second run back. First-up after four months eased back early on 6th of 12 at Chukyo Dirt on March 22 over 1800m, 7 len behind Pod Volk with 53.0kg at $44. Previously second-up second last of 11 at Kyoto Dirt on November 30 over 1800m, 10 len behind Meikei Rein with 56.0kg at $173.70. Needs to lift.

Raced twice to date. At long odds at debut, 4th of 14 at Kyoto Dirt on December 14 over 1200m, 12 len behind Peisha Val Two carrying 53.0kg at $25.20. Last start 8th of 13 at Kyoto Dirt on February 9 over 1200m, 12 len behind Water Paradis carrying 55.0kg at $78.40. This looks too tough.

Third-up today. First-up settled back and ran on when 8th of 16 at Kokura Dirt on March 1 over 1700m, 12 len behind Graceful March with 52.0kg at $74.70.
