GOING: G

Race 8 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Slick tempo to be established by Amuleto, Yukimatsuri and Kamiyaga Ruler. YUKIMATSURI (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AMULETO (7) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep 12 weeks ago when she scored by 4 lengths. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. KURA KINKA (1) settled well back when 12 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Funabashi the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KAMIYAGA RULER (6) made progress last time out, finishing 10 lengths from the winner in third over 1500m at this track. Each way hope.
