GOING: S

Race 5 1000m

Track: SOFT     True  

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Wakega Wakaranaiyo and Argyle Pink. ARGYLE PINK (12) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 900m at Kawasaki. Kasumi Kamio stays on. Sure to run well. POD GLASS (11) lines up on the back of a 2.25 lengths fourth over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up favourably. TAKARA BADIUS (2) finished fifth when first-up from a spell last start over 1000m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Well placed and expected to feature. SUZUNO LINE (10) fought on for second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten one length to add to some fine recent form. Can go one better.
