GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

From their wide gates Master Of Life and Fuku Pygmalion should push forward. FUKU PYGMALION (11) saluted at the first run back from a spell last start over 1900m at Kasamatsu, scoring by a nose. Has been given a let-up of five weeks since that outing. Will be better for that latest run and is all set to make it two-for-two this prep. MASTER OF LIFE (12) led throughout last time over 1400m at Ohi and scored a comfortable win. May have to go forward again from the tricky draw and is right in this. CASH BLITZ (5) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1900m at Kasamatsu after a win at the previous outing. Best figures measure up and can bounce back. STEEL ACTOR (4) missed out last time when fifth over 1900m at Kasamatsu after filling a minor placing in two races on end, the latest here over 1700m. Drawn to stalk the leaders and has solid claims on best form.
