Kasamatsu Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
MJUK THOMAS (2) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 2 lengths over today's journey at this track. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Expected to measure up. BRACION (4) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on June 24 over 1400m when she got home by a neck. Stepping up a level this time but on current form she is capable of another big performance. AIO AILE (1) finished out of the money when sixth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. On her best form she is good enough to take this out. IN SWING (7) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked in eighth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. In the mix in this suitable assignment.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; won by 2 len at this track July 8 over 1400m defeating Tsukino Kobune carrying 57kg at $1.60. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 10 at this track on June 24 over 1400m, head behind Hope Raising with 57kg at $3.90. Confidence high so a repeat performance is on the cards.

Returns from a 60-day let-up. Last start struggled in the run home; 8th of 16 at Tokyo Dirt on May 23 over 1400m, 11 len behind Nucleotide with 57.0kg at $139.50. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Urawa on April 21 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Waves Leaps with 56kg at $9. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.

Second run back. Comes off a 45-day let-up. First-up after two months sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on June 7 over 1400m, 7 len behind Zelda with 57.0kg at $56.10. Previously second-up 5th of 10 at Kyoto Dirt on January 25 over 1400m, 5 len behind Wide Ghunsa with 57.0kg at $112.40. Solid top-three hope.
