Small field without a bunny so it will turn into a sprint home. ON THE BASARA (5) failed to make an impression last time out, settling well back and finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Shinobu Murakami goes well on this four-year-old and is back on top today. Bold showing expected. TSUWAMONO (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4.5 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. LEVE CHI AMIGO (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1400m. Goes well at this trip, recording six minor placings and has to be included. CELATONE (1) finished 8 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on August 3. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
