GOING: S

Race 2 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Plenty of pace from Wild Smash, Fine Tiara and Prakasa primarily. WILD SMASH (9) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on May 11. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. FUJI PASCAL (7) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 7 lengths when sixth over 1400m at Urawa three weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. PRAKASA (11) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Commenced last prep with a minor placing at this track over 1400m. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. BURDOCK VIPER (3) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing 21 lengths from the winner in tenth. Capable of featuring.
