Kasamatsu Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
ENGELSPIEL (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only half a length from the winner at the end of 1400m after being in contention on the bend. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. MEINER WARRIOR (5) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at Saga. Sure to make his presence felt. YUINO OTOSHIANA (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1580m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. LOVE FORTISSIMO (6) improved last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. The engagement of Junki Mochizuki is noteworthy. Capable of featuring prominently.
