GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track: AW      

Genuine pace with Harmony Yamato finding the front from his low draw. KITADAKE (4) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1400m at Kawasaki to make it two in a row. Has a formidable combination with Ryouma Kimatsuka who has been aboard for his last two wins. Bold showing expected. JO KAI (1) finished seventh last start, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has a very good record over today's journey with four wins from six starts. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Will give a great sight. JUNGLE TACHYON (5) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing second over 1400m at this track most recently. Must be included in calculations. FORCE CHILDREN (3) continued the good recent form when he finished just 3 lengths away in second last time out over 1400m at Kawasaki. Takehiro Kasano stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Must be respected.

Third-up today. Resuming favourite; won by 3 len at Kawasaki March 15 over 1500m defeating Rapid Flow with 54kg at $1.90. Second-up 7th of 12 at this track on March 27 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Ruriiro with 54kg at $1.60. Fitter and should relish the step up to 1500m.
