Kawasaki Race 8 - Kawasaki 3Yo

AUFGUSS (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1500m at Funabashi after being prominent from the outset. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TRILL (3) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1400m at Urawa, an improvement on his fifth at this track the run before. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. SMART LASTER (13) finished second last time over 1500m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. MAROON DRIVE (10) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when ninth over 1700m at Funabashi. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 9 at this track on March 5 over 1500m, 8 len behind Sayono Max Love carrying 54kg at $9.40. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track February 6 over 1400m defeating Infer Reve with 54kg at $1.30. Should be right in the finish.
