GOING: G

KASASAGI SHO 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Expecting Fiorano to set a strong tempo off the inside along with Top Attack. KAISHO (3) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when 1.3 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. Fitter and should be in the finish. MITONO RIN (2) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. TOP ATTACK (9) was well fancied last start over 1200m at this track when sixth, beaten 4 lengths. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and shapes as one to consider. POPPET (14) ran below expectations last time at Nakayama, finishing seventh and beaten 3.5 lengths. Well placed to make amends.
