Kasamatsu

L'ISLE JOYEUSE (4) Ran 3rd last start around here and stepping up in trip. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. Jockey Tatsuya Watanabe adds value. Looks well placed. GOLD CHACHA (1) Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last start at this track and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Solid career start. Won't be far away. KITANO EMBLA (3) Lacklustre showing when 15th last start at Nakayama but having second race start. First start for a new trainer. Serious player. USHAS (7) Lost ground in the run home when 15th last start at Nakayama. Is capable of a resurgence. Coming to a new trainer. One to watch and an each way chance.
