Kasamatsu Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
HIOGI (8) brings the most reliable winning profile, having gone down by only a neck as favourite in a 3yo+ B5 at Nagoya after winning a 3yo+ C1 there by two lengths. She has a prior Kasamatsu win, useful distance figures and a strong record with Aoi Kinomae, so she is the horse to beat despite another distance query sitting in the background. SATSUKI BALLADE (5) appeals as the main danger after finishing only a length and a half away in a stronger 3yo+ B1 here, with a Kasamatsu 3yo+ B6 win two back adding substance. SPECIALIGHT (2) was costly as a short odds-on favourite last start but has consecutive placings and enough consistency to make amends. CRAZY RICH (9) is more of a place-leaning threat: his head second two back reads well, but the latest fourth was plain and the win strike-rate remains the concern.

Led in a 3yo+ B3 over 1580m at Kasamatsu last start but was claimed quickly and dropped out, finishing last after being at long odds and beaten out of sight. She was also last in the same grade two back, beaten over 11 lengths, so recent form is a genuine concern. The return to 1400m helps given four wins and five places from 17 starts at this track and distance, but she needs a sharp revival to turn that into more than a place chance.

Placed again at Kasamatsu last start, though third and beaten just over four lengths as a short odds-on favourite was below what the market expected. Her previous second in a 3yo+ B5 here, beaten a neck by Satono Rush, gives the form more substance. She has placed four times from eight tries at the track and trip without winning, so the winning edge is the query, but she remains a strong player in this grade.

Worked into a handy position at Nagoya last start but did not finish it off, running fourth in a 3yo+ B5 and beaten just under three lengths when near the top of betting. The run prior was similar, fading late into sixth after market respect. He also lost to Hiogi recently and is unplaced from five starts at 1400m, so the place case is stronger than the win case.

Was in touch in a 3yo+ B3 over 1580m here last start but failed to threaten and was beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. The previous fifth in a 3yo+ B5 was better late but still eight and a half lengths from Ken Wenzel. Her three wins and nine places from 22 starts at this track and distance are a positive, yet recent efforts leave her with plenty to repair.

Ran well above her market price in a 3yo+ B1 here last start, finishing fifth but beaten only a length and a half by Vina Hoi An. That followed a stylish 3yo+ B6 win at Kasamatsu where she beat Crazy Rich by two lengths, and her track-and-trip record is sound. With Soichi Kato back aboard and a useful on-speed pattern of her own, she has a genuine winning case.

Dropped away to finish seventh in a 3yo+ B3 over 1580m at Kasamatsu last start, beaten over 12 lengths after being unwanted in the market. Her third here two back, beaten two and a half lengths by Chuwa Daio, was more competitive, but even that came at long odds. The class drop and return to a winning track-and-trip are positives, though she still needs to rebound strongly.

Went within a neck of winning a 3yo+ B5 at Nagoya last start when favourite, working home evenly behind Val De Grace. She had won a 3yo+ C1 there by two lengths the run prior after settling prominently, and the broader profile is consistent. With a prior Kasamatsu win, two 1400m wins and three wins with Aoi Kinomae, she has the strongest credentials if she converts the near-miss form.

Worked home evenly for fourth in a 3yo+ B3 over 1580m here last start, but the beaten margin of eight and a half lengths was disappointing given he was near the top of betting. His previous head second behind Milky Princess reads better, showing he is still racing honestly. The drop back to 1400m is a query and his one win from 68 starts keeps him in the minor-money bracket.

Made ground from well back when fourth in a 3yo+ A4B2 at Kasamatsu last start, beaten two and a half lengths despite being unwanted in the market. The run prior was only fair when seventh in a 3yo+ B1 over 1580m. She has five wins and 21 places from 75 starts at this track and distance, but the long-term record with this jockey is modest and others look sharper.

Battled on for fourth at Kasamatsu last start, beaten just over five lengths by Inti Pyro, and was behind Specialight in that same race. Her previous third behind Milky Princess over 1580m also came after she had every chance and was beaten just over six lengths. Eleven placings from 30 track-and-trip starts show she can fill a minor role, but the winning case is thin.

Finished a long way back in a 3yo+ B6 at Nagoya last start, running second last and beaten over 17 lengths. The start prior was also poor when second last over 1700m in a 3yo+ B8, beaten over 12 lengths after sitting close enough to matter. Her one Kasamatsu start produced a win, so the return here offers a reason for improvement, but recent form makes her a risky place proposition.
