GOING: S

Race 10 1500m

Track: SOFT      

Kaseno Rao should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. TSUKASA REVS (3) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten half a length, over 1400m at this track. Form here at this distance is sound with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Will be hard to stop. SOY LATTE (2) finished one length from the winner in second last start at this track over this distance. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts at this distance, including two wins. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. KASENO RAO (10) raced on the pace over 1400m at this track last time and went on to win by one length. Has a strong association with Kenji Okamura who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Has winning claims on best figures. SAUDADE (4) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
