GOING: G

Race 8 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Laser Show and Cool Gadget should lock horns early at a strong gallop. LASER SHOW (1) finished 13th over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt at his most recent appearance on September 22. Has switched to the Masakazu Kawashima yard. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. SMILE NOW (6) is back at the races for the first time since August 26. Scored over 1200m at this track to launch the last campaign. Boasts an unbeaten first-up record from two runs. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. PRINCE MAKER (4) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 1.75 lengths when fifth in a 1200m contest at this track four weeks ago. The engagement of Masashige Honda is a positive move. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. HARMONY ROI (3) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1200m at this track. Sure to be competitive.
