Kasamatsu Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400

KING MINISTER (7) got home by 4 lengths last time out over 1580m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Winning rider Soichi Kato stays aboard. Should be in the finish. COPANO DAVID (4) finished second over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Good enough to take this out. HOME RUN BATTER (2) finds it hard to win with three victories from 34 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Steps up a level but he is sure to play a feature role. KATHARSIS (5) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten half a length, over 1400m at this track. Has managed four minor placings from six runs at this circuit. Too good to ignore.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 at this track on August 28 over 1400m, 4 len behind A Shin Kosonte with 57kg at $10.30. The run before that won by 0.5 len at this track on August 11 over 1400m defeating Katharsis with 58kg at $6.50. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
