Kasamatsu Race 6 - Race 6 - 1580
TAMA ESPOIR (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1580m. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. KAMIGAMINO UTAGE (3) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1600m at this track. The engagement of Junki Mochizuki is noteworthy. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. I GOT YOU (4) surprised many last time when a close second over 1400m at this track. Definite danger again. CHIEN DE LUNE (1) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for second. Expected to feature again.

Recent form sound. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on March 31 over 1580m, 2.5 len behind Propiedad carrying 57kg at $5.70. The race before that came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track March 6 over 1400m defeating Admiring with 57kg at $1.70. Ideally placed to play a significant role.
