GOING: G

Race 12 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Meisho Kammuri should spear straight to the front of the small field. REVOLT BULLET (3) returns from a break of four months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1800m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. KITASAN SHIDEN (6) was well fancied when resuming last start over 1800m at this track when sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will strip fitter and can atone. MEISHO KAMMURI (4) has been about the money since scoring at this track on 11/03/2025, the latest effort a third over 1500m at Kawasaki. Unplaced at his only try at this trip. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be competitive. MADNESS KAZU (2) was beaten 2 lengths into fourth over 1800m at this track at his latest appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.
