|---|---|---|---|---|
|
From their wide draws Ho O Nouveau and Steve Barows can establish a strong tempo. SANKA SHIGURE (12) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a neck away in second over 2000m at Fukushima after being prominent from the outset. Keeps progressing so anticipating another big run. CLASSICAL KAISER (7) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 2000m at Fukushima. Placed three on the trot and is all set to run well again. STEVE BAROWS (11) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 2000m at Nakayama, beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims. KICHI FIGHTER (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 2000m at Kyoto. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot break through.
