GOING: G

Race 5 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Good pace from Peptide Sparkle, Toa Rudolf and Maruzensky Two going forward. PEPTIDE SPARKLE (1) made a nice return last time out to finish second and beaten only half a length over this course and distance. Has a decent record at this track. Fitter and can play a major role. SAMT (11) showed early speed from a good draw last time and raced on speed before drawing clear to score by one length over 1400m at Kawasaki. Sure to measure up again. RIKKIO (4) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. TOA RUDOLF (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 20 when beaten 5 lengths into fourth at this track over 1500m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
