Solid tempo anticipated with Mana Hokulele heading them off. MANA HOKULELE (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 4 lengths over 850m at Mizusawa as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Leading player again. PRIMA WAY (9) sped across from a poor gate to lead last time over 1400m at Mizusawa but dropped out of it in the run home. Breaks from a wide draw again but can bounce back. CHERRY BREEZE (10) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 4 lengths over 850m at Mizusawa as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four outings. Major player. PISMANIYE (11) is racing well without winning, including last time when second over 1400m at Mizusawa. Don't underestimate.

MANA HOKULELE

The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Mizusawa on April 9 over 850m, 7 len behind Idiom carrying 56kg at $11.90.

The start before that second last of 12 at Mizusawa on April 7 over 1600m, 40 len behind Sanei Magic with 53kg at $50.50. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests. |
