GOING:

Race 8 1800m

Track:      

Kitasan Hikoboshi is the probable leader in the small field. KITASAN HIKOBOSHI (6) handy colt who is racing well, including a win last start over 1200m at this track. One of the major players. CAPSULE (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1700m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. AMULETUM (4) form has not been consistent this preparation. Finished well off the pace last start at this track. Drops 200m in distance here and capable of bouncing back. DAIMEI Z (3) was an impressive winner last time over 1700m at this track. Drifted back on that occasion then lengthened impressively to score by 2 lengths. Deserves respect.
