Verdict

IRON PITCH (1) finished 2.75 lengths back in third over 4 ½f at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. KANNON ANIMO (4) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 4 ½f at this track when beaten 2.75 lengths. Has a solid record here at the distance with four wins and seven placings from 16 tries. Sure to run well. LA TARANTELLA (2) ran well below her best last time over 4f at Urawa, beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh at $5.20. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give backers a great sight. SARASA EMPEROR (8) was a winner over 4 ½f at this track last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by a neck. Form this track is hard to knock with three wins from nine starts. Must be respected.
