RIKEA MACCHIATO (2) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a nose as public elect over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to make it two on the bounce. HO O SAMRET (10) is resuming from a break of five months for a new stable after finishing ninth over 1800m at Kokura at his latest outing. Generally runs well when fresh, recording three minor placings from four runs. Expected to be in the finish.
