Kasamatsu Race 12

1600

Prize Money: $13,699

KUROTCHI (6) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing third over 1600m at this track. Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. GALWAY GIRL (1) settled well back then made some inroads and finished sixth last time out over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Key runner. NIHONPIRO PORT (2) made late ground and finished fifth last start over 1600m at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. A SHIN KOSONTE (3) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was fifth over 1800m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.
