GOING: S

Race 4 800m

Track: SOFT      

I Am Kachimasho is expected to lead at a slick tempo. I AM KACHIMASHO (7) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 800m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with four wins and two minor placings from 10 runs. Sure to go well again. PASSAGE (5) could only manage to finish tenth at her latest appearance over 1200m at Funabashi. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. SANONO TARUMAE (12) has switched yards since finishing 12th a month ago over 1200m at Ohi. Can make her presence felt. SPRING ROSE (6) ran below expectations last start, finishing eighth at Kawasaki over 900m. Deserves another chance here.
