From the inside gate Smash Hit has the dash to be in the leading division, with Shizukano Umi and Takka Bullet applying plenty of pressure. SMASH HIT (1) is resuming from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is looking to add to a sequence of three wins, the most recent over 800m at Himeji. Has a strong association with Yamamotoya Taizo who has been in the saddle for his last three wins. Major player. TAKKA BULLET (10) went forward when resuming last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second. Likely to push forward from the wide draw and can run well. MINACK THEATRE (5) missed the frame last start over 1230m at this track, finishing fourth. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. SCHON KAISERIN (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a layoff last start. Likely to be there at the finish again.
