Kasamatsu Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400

A SHIN IHNEN (2) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track after she was prominent at the bend. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. ZIRCON TESORO (8) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 2. Among the top chances in what looks a suitable race. YAMAJUN YOUNG (3) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. REINA ROJA RUMBA (6) finished fifth at her most recent outing over 800m at this track. Worth including in this contest.

Second run back. First-up after seven months made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on April 3 over 1400m, 2 len behind African Black carrying 55kg at $5.40. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Monbetsu on July 15 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Narrative Harpy with 55kg at $2.80. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. Last start 5th of 8 at this track on March 6 over 800m, 6 len behind Aio Aile carrying 55kg at $16. The run before that didn't do much in the run home; 5th of 9 at this track on February 19 over 1400m, 10 len behind Grenoble carrying 55kg at $14.80. Capable of a big finish so don't write her off.
