Kasamatsu Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
GO GO BIRTHDAY (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 8 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SCHNELL KAGA (7) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1400m at this track when beaten 5.5 lengths. Form at this track is solid. Expected to be in the finish. MARUKA RAPID (2) is back at the races for the first time since May 17. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims. CHUWA SPRING (6) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 14 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.

Returns from a 39-day let-up. Last start ran second last of 10 at this track on July 20 over 1400m, 14 len behind Manno Lightning with 55kg at $22.20. The race before that won by 2 len at this track on June 25 over 1400m defeating Galway Girl with 55kg at $29.70. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 39-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 8 at this track on July 20 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Frescobaldi carrying 57kg at $5.40. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on July 10 over 1580m, 1.75 len behind Lonely Planet with 57kg at $5.80. Sure to be right there at the business end.
