Steve Barows should lead and dictate terms. RUTONWAJI (5) has been thereabouts without winning, the latest effort a third over 1600m at this track. Has managed four minor placings from five runs at this circuit. Right in this. EFFULGENCE (9) was close to a win before a break, starting favourite at the latest appearance and finishing second at this track. Can pick up where he left off. Bold showing expected. KITASAN RISER (10) is a three-year-old colt by Kitasan Black out of Kitasan Becki on debut for the Hiroo Shimizu stable. Keep a close eye out for a positive market move. STEVE BAROWS (8) finished 7 lengths away in seventh after being prominent at the turn at his last appearance over 2200m at this track on March 30. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.

SWEET ORANGE
TADASHIGE NAKAGAWA 3YO FILLY 55.0KG Makio Okada Was at very long odds at debut, second last of 16 at this track on March 15 over 1800m, 14 len behind Grosbeak carrying 55.0kg at $266.50. Might need more time based on that poor debut. |

H SUGIURA 3YO COLT 54.0KG YGG Horse Club Co. Ltd. Raced two times to date. At very big odds at debut, 14th of 16 at this track on January 19 over 1600m, 18 len behind Ho O Chocolat carrying 57.0kg at $92.20. Last start 13th of 17 at this track on March 22 over 2000m, 20 len behind Win Stiga carrying 54.0kg at $254.20. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so. |
