Kasamatsu Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
KUMASAN ARIGATO (3) showed good pace over 800m at this track last time and went on to score by 5 lengths. Out in trip and could prove hard to beat. BACKPACK (6) has returned in good order this campaign. Ran well but found one better last time over 1400m at this track after registering her maiden win first-up the run before. Strips fitter and is among the leading chances. NEVERLANDREAM (1) gave the leaders a start last start and made little impact in the straight when sixth over this journey at this track. Beautifully placed and a player. SHINING KISEKI (4) finished midfield at her first run back from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Fitter and expected to do far better this time.

Most recently 6th of 8 at this track on December 29 over 1400m, 10 len behind Highest Rank carrying 55kg at $44.60. Before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at this track on December 12 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Szivarvany with 55kg at $17.30. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
