Kasamatsu Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600
T O LYRA (6) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. KISEKINO KUNI (1) finished fifth last time out over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Right in the mix. RECIPRO TURBO (3) was fourth last time out over 1400m at this track when fresh from a spell as $2.5 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Fitter and a strong top-three chance. RED SWING (2) was out of the money last start over 1400m at this track when seventh. Better than recent efforts suggest and worth consideration here.

At the latest run 5th of 9 at this track on January 23 over 1400m, 5 len behind Luxe Brillante carrying 57kg at $9.30. Before that 4th of 8 at this track on January 9 over 1600m, 10 len behind A Shin Rotate with 57kg at $71. Capable of more – worth another chance.

At the latest run second last of 8 at this track on January 23 over 1400m, 9 len behind Feel My Way carrying 57kg at $8.10. The start before that eased back early on 7th of 9 at this track on January 7 over 1400m, 7 len behind Danse Du Vent carrying 57kg at $46.90. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.

Second-up. First-up after three months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at this track on January 23 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Luxe Brillante with 55kg at $2.50. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at this track on August 28 over 1400m, 6 len behind Puerta Azul carrying 55kg at $5.60. Improver with winning prospects.

Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at this track on January 23 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Maruka Vento with 57kg at $27.70. The start before that ran last of 9 at this track on January 7 over 1400m, 10 len behind Danse Du Vent with 57kg at $56. Might just find this a bit too tough.
