Kasamatsu Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
WIN VERTEX (8) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths over today's journey at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and four placings. In form and should go well again. SCHNELL KAGA (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1580m at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three runs. Leading player again. A SHIN CARROTS (9) showed the way from barrier rise to score by 1.5 lengths last start over this course and distance. Has a strong record here at this journey with four wins from nine starts. One to consider. WIN AUBE (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a far better effort. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.

At the latest run second last in a small field at this track on March 20 over 1600m, 9 len behind A Shin Kosonte carrying 55kg at $14.60. The start before that ran last of 9 at this track on February 6 over 1600m, 18 len behind Kayado Black carrying 54kg at $40. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
