GOING: S

Race 9 1000m

Track: SOFT     True  

Speakeasy should find the front with Genesis Mizar and Reishin on his heels. REISHIN (6) found a couple better last start at this track over this distance after he was in the firing line on the turn. Has a very good record over today's journey with three wins from six starts. Kota Motohashi who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Bold showing expected. SPEAKEASY (9) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1000m at this track. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. TIME OF HEART (13) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 3 lengths, over 900m at Kawasaki. Solid top-three prospects. PRINCESS ROSY (3) resumes in a similar race to her last run three-and-a-half months ago when sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Sure to make her presence felt.

Second-up today. Freshened for 48 days. Last run favourite; won by 3 len at this track February 13 over 1000m defeating Crazy Rich carrying 56kg at $2.20. At only start last preparation did the work up front then tired 7th of 12 at this track on November 26 over 1200m, 5 len behind Exmedi No Tsurugi with 56kg at $7. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.
