Kawasaki

ATAGO TENJIN (2) Ran 2nd last time around here and strong performer at the trip. Should muster plenty of early speed. Takayuki Yano and Hitoshi Sasaki are highly regarded when paired. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. MANA KOA (10) First up from a break of 8 weeks and just missed first up last preparation here. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. POD DUKE (7) Ran well when 3rd last run at this track and proven performer at this trip in the past. Gains the services of jockey Norifumi Mikamoto. Racing consistently this prep. Underrated. A'S QUEEN (3) Ran away with a win by 4L last run here and ideal trip as proven previously. Has run into the money 4 from 4 attempts this preparation. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.
