GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Papita and A Shin Enbarr taking up the running over Hakusan Ai. PAPITA (1) flew the gates and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths last start over today's journey at this track. Major player. HAKUSAN AI (7) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 920m at this track. Comes here with definite claims. A SHIN ENBARR (10) last appeared when he finished second over 1900m at Kasamatsu on March 7. Looks a strong top-three prospect. COVINHA (6) was unplaced last start over 1600m at Kasamatsu when seventh. Well placed to make amends.
1 11921 PAPITA

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently won by 1.5 len at this track July 23 over 1500m defeating Schiuma Palla carrying 57kg at $4.20. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 12 at this track on July 7 over 1700m, 2 len behind Jako Musubi carrying 57kg at $2.50. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.
