Kasamatsu Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
VENERABLE (2) Couldn't stay in touch when 15th last time at Chukyo. Looking past the last run and has a good draw. Change in trainer. Can go through the gears. Looks a strong winning hope. INDY QUEEN (4) Unsatisfactory performance when 11th last time at Nagoya. Racing for a new trainer. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . LINO LUANA (7) Ran 10th last time at Chukyo. Coming to a new trainer. Has good finishing speed. Could be a value selection. HO O CHOPIN (3) Was well beaten when 9th last run at Sapporo and coming back in distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Can fill a place in this field.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing 11th in a 3yo Maiden over 2400m at Hanshin, beaten over 15 lengths after sitting close enough and dropping out sharply. The Kyoto run prior was similar, 12th over 2400m and unwanted in the market behind Sea To Summit. Class relief is the only clear positive, but she needs to show far more at 1400m.

Back after five weeks following a last finish in a 3yo Maiden over 1600m at Chukyo, where she led narrowly before being swamped and was beaten just under six lengths by Rainbow State. Her previous eighth at Kokura was only just over four lengths from Levi, despite starting at long odds. The class drop, race fitness, barrier 2 and strong local jockey-trainer profile give her a sound platform if she finishes the race off.

Returns from a two-month break after being tailed off at Sapporo Dirt over 1700m, where he faded late and was unwanted in the market. His debut at Fukushima was also plain, finishing second last in a 3yo Maiden over 2000m behind Vulcan Tesoro after settling rearward. Third-up and class relief are small positives, but the form leaves him with a lot to repair.

Back from a two-month break with class relief after finishing second last at Nagoya, beaten over 15 lengths behind Blood Moon after being in touch and finding little. She had also been beaten over 12 lengths in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. The recent form is thin, but she is race fit, drawn to settle midfield and meets a race where any lift puts her firmly in the winning mix.

Returns after five weeks and is third-up after finishing second last in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m at Niigata, beaten over 10 lengths after racing just off the leaders and offering little late. The Fukushima run prior had more substance, ninth and beaten eight and a half lengths behind Upper Water. Class relief and a leading jockey help, but she profiles more as a place hope than a clear winner.

Back after five weeks second-up after a plain 12th in a 3yo Maiden over 2000m at Niigata, beaten over 17 lengths after settling well back and failing to improve. The run before that at the same venue was better, beaten four and a half lengths by Omoio Nosete. She is unplaced in four starts and the drop to 1400m is a query, but this class relief gives her some minor-money claims.

Resumes off a five-week freshening after a better run than the finishing position suggests at Chukyo, finishing tenth in a 3yo Maiden over 1600m but only beaten three and a half lengths after getting a long way back. That also had him ahead of Venerable, while the Hanshin Dirt run prior over 1800m was much less convincing. The class drop suits, and if he settles close enough from barrier 7 he sets the standard.
