Kasamatsu Race 7 - Race 7 - 1600
MARUKA VENTO (2) scored at this track last time out with 2.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Tatsuya Watanabe who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Leading contender. LUXE BRILLANTE (3) improved sharply with a win over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Can salute again. NEEDLESS TO SAY (6) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. In the mix. HIRUNO GLASGOW (4) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish second at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.

At the latest run couldn't go on with it; 7th of 9 at this track on January 23 over 1600m, 7 len behind Goodbye Isaac carrying 57kg at $22.20. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on January 7 over 1400m, 7 len behind Bozeman carrying 58kg at $6.30. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Recent form sound. Most recently got back early 4th of 8 at this track on January 23 over 1400m, 12 len behind Nihonpiro Reach with 56kg at $29.50. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on December 26 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Mullein with 55kg at $4.10. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.
