March 6th Selection

Tulip-Sho Hanshin 11 Race

Rain forecast all day tomorrow which makes #16 Apapane an edgy wager especially at 2.8. Yutaka gets his mount back and with a favorable post position why not! Besides, anything within 6 degrees of Elvis always gets a nod!

The Wager: #7( Omega Blue Hawaii) with 3,5,15,16..￥2000 Quinellas

Derby Watch ( Victoire Pisa)

We'll know for sure after the Yayoi-Sho this weekend( write-up tomorrow) but the Sumi trained contender looks like a solid 2.5 pick that will be garnered going into the Satsuki=Sho next month.

Derby Watch ( Aliseo)

Lost front runner status with his 3rd place outing last time out. Still Top 5 , easily.

Derby Watch ( Reve d ' Orient)

Matsuda's got himself another contender. A close 2nd in the Kisaragi-sho was an impressive ride.

February 28th Selection

Nakayama 11 Race
......#11 Absolute
The Wager # 11 each way Exacta ￥1000 with 1,8,10,14

February Stakes G1

Espoir City, the only true dirt miler should reward his even money status by winning the February Stakes tomorrow.
The Wager : 4-6,4-8, 4-13, ￥5000 Quinella ( 4-11,4-14 ￥2000 Exacta)
