Kasamatsu Race 8

1600

Prize Money: $10,613

KEN BRIDGE YU (2) got the job done last start by 5 lengths at this track over 1400m. Form here strong boasting four wins from six starts. Rates strongly and expected to go close again. A SHIN NECTAR (4) last appeared four weeks ago over 1500m at Urawa when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the Hiroshi Sasano stable. Worth serious consideration. SMART MANALIS (1) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by half a length over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this circuit and deserves respect.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start got back early 9th of 12 at Urawa on January 7 over 1500m, 12 len behind Haguregumo with 56kg at $15.30. The run before that 3rd of 12 at Urawa on December 23 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Ken Atlas with 56kg at $6.50. Capable of more – worth another chance.
