Kasamatsu Race 10 - Race 10 - 1580
NANYO VIOLET (9) gets top billing after a better second-up run at Kasamatsu, where he was beaten three lengths by King Minister over 1400m. The rise to 1580m is a positive angle on the supplied setup, though he still has to reverse the sense that he is more reliable for a placing than a win. HABIBI (10) has the stronger overall strike profile, with six wins from 28 starts and an excellent record with Tsutsui Yusuke, and his fourth at Nagoya reads well enough for this. MILL MILL (3) is the most dependable yardstick, placed in six of eleven at this track and distance and close enough in stronger recent company to be a serious threat. WINDMUHLE (4) is next best after rebounding into third behind Sengokubusho, but his win case is less convincing than the main trio.

Returns from a one-month let-up after making it back-to-back 3yo+ B1 wins at Kasamatsu, charging from rearward to beat Smart Tempest by a length as odds-on favourite. The previous win over King Minister was by three lengths, and five wins from 12 starts in the past 12 months shows the run is no fluke. The distance query is the reason to temper enthusiasm, but he still demands respect.

Resumes from a three-month break after finishing fifth in a 3yo+ A2 over 1800m at Kasamatsu, beaten over 10 lengths despite being near the top of betting. The Nagoya run before that was weaker again, last behind Bent by over 16 lengths at long odds. His Kasamatsu record is sound, but he must return much sharper.

Has been holding her form in stronger company, finishing fourth behind Backpack in a 3yo+ A2 at Kasamatsu after settling rearward, then backing up a solid second to Sengokubusho two runs back. The one win and six places from eleven starts at this track and distance is a valuable base, and she also holds a recent edge over Nanyo Violet. She looks a genuine winning chance if close enough when it matters.

Improved sharply when third behind Sengokubusho at Kasamatsu, beaten three and a half lengths at generous odds after looming without quite threatening. That was a clear step up on his previous last in 3yo+ COND grade, where he was beaten over 19 lengths. The rider record is a plus and he has placed at this course and distance, so he profiles as a sound minor-money hope.

Has finished sixth at his past two starts in 3yo+ A2 company, most recently beaten just over nine lengths behind Backpack after being in touch but offering little. The run prior over 1400m was similar, with Chuwa Spring winning while he never came into it. His course-and-distance record is useful, but the recent evidence says he needs a clear lift.

Was well beaten last start in a 3yo+ A1 over 1900m at Kasamatsu, sent out at big odds and never getting into the race behind Cash Blitz. His previous sixth behind Win Creed was also plain, beaten over 12 lengths after conceding a big start. Returning to a winning course-and-distance is some help, but his recent form leaves a fair task.

Recent form reads poorly, with a last placing behind Chuwa Spring over 1400m at Kasamatsu, beaten over 18 lengths after being unwanted in the market. He was fifth behind Frescobaldi two back but still beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. Unplaced in all six starts over the past 12 months, he needs a major turnaround.

Had been building solidly before a plain sixth behind Sengokubusho at Kasamatsu, beaten seven and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. His previous second to Win Creed was better, beaten three lengths after working home evenly. He has placed four times from six at this track and distance without winning, which points more to place appeal than a dominant winning case.

Comes to his third run this campaign off a better second behind King Minister over 1400m at Kasamatsu, beaten three lengths after being an outside chance in the betting. That was a marked improvement on his second-last to Sengokubusho two back, and the rise in trip is assessed as a plus. He still has a modest recent winning record, but this setup gives him a proper chance to convert.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fourth to Daichi Rapport in a 3yo+ A5 over 1700m at Nagoya, beaten four and a half lengths as an outside chance in betting. He had earlier run second to Ryoma at Kasamatsu over 1900m when odds-on, and his five wins from 14 with Tsutsui Yusuke reads strongly. Proven at this track and distance, he is a major player despite the wide draw.
