KOSHUKAIDO TOKUBETSU 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace from Takasutakasutakasu, Acquamarina and Don To The Moon vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. TAKASUTAKASUTAKASU (8) has two wins and two minors from four starts. Has not been produced since he scored over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt on April 11. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Good upside and expected to go close. MAGIC COOKIE (9) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and can find the winner's circle. FIDDLE FADDLE (11) is third up today and looks close to a win after finishing a close second last time out over 1400m at this track. Should be ready to find peak form. GOLDEN KITE (16) returns from a layoff of five months. Scored over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt at the start of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt.
