GOING:

Race 6 800m

Track:      

Expecting I Am Kachimasho to take up the running with Human Rights and Nishino Lumillion close at hand. SMILE THRIVE (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1500m on October 27. Looks a winning chance. HUMAN RIGHTS (1) improved sharply on his ninth two starts back at Kawasaki with a win over 900m at Kawasaki two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a neck after being prominent at the turn. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. ARAIGUMA PUNCH (11) failed to run a strong 1200m last start after a close second over 800m at this track the run prior. Appeals back in trip this time so he is one of the main contenders. PRESTO WONDER (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 800m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
