GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Pace a scorcher, headed by Keiai Antares, All Steal and Burgeon Forth, closely followed by A Shin Sturm and Amalfi. KEIAI ANTARES (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 7 lengths at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. A SHIN STURM (8) was impressive last time at Kasamatsu, scoring by 4 lengths over this trip. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to feature. ALL STEAL (11) finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last start over 1400m at this track after racing in the leading division. Can spear over from a wide draw. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to figure in the finish. AMALFI (1) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well.

Form hard to fault. Last start rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 10 at this track on March 21 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind A Shin Dazzle carrying 56kg at $7.20. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on February 22 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Jun Asahi Sora carrying 56kg at $14.90. The inside gate is a real bonus.
