Kasamatsu Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
CHUWA HENNESSY (6) is the key runner despite a plain pair of Chukyo Dirt 3yo Maiden runs over 1900m, where he was beaten over 16 lengths and then over 18 lengths. The appeal is the change in assignment, the five-week freshening, and the fact he arrives third-up for a stable that gives him enough profile in a modest 1400m contest. REAL STINGER (3) has not been close at her past two Kasamatsu runs, but fifth behind Jun Saku and fourth behind Win Halford still reads competitively against this line-up, with the distance query the main caution. HIKEYA IWAFUNE (1) has also been well held, including when beaten over 17 lengths behind Jun Saku, yet barrier one and race fitness give him some minor-money scope. BOCCIO (7) was weak first-up here and remains unplaced from five starts, but second-up improvement would bring her into the lower end of the chances.

Finished sixth behind Jun Saku at Kasamatsu a fortnight ago, beaten over 17 lengths after having his chance and failing to come into the race. The prior 800m run was similar, with Beast Wars beating him by over 14 lengths when he made no impression late. He is unplaced from six starts and was behind Real Stinger last time, but class relief and race fitness keep him in the minor-money discussion rather than the win line.

Finished last at Kasamatsu last start behind Ibarahime and was unwanted in the market, weakening right out of the contest. His previous 3yo Maiden at Sapporo Dirt was no better, with Taisei Ruby beating him a long way over 1700m. The class drop and race fitness are small positives, but he is unplaced from three starts and needs a marked lift before he becomes a genuine threat.

Worked home only fairly when fifth behind Jun Saku at Kasamatsu, beaten over 15 lengths after settling rearward at big odds. She had earlier run fourth here behind Win Halford, again from well back, and that consistency has more value in this field than the margins suggest. Still a maiden with one placing from nine starts and the 1400m remains a query, but she has one of the stronger recent profiles here.

Was near the top of betting at Kasamatsu last start but finished seventh behind Jun Saku, well beaten by 21 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting into the contest. Two back at Niigata in a 3yo Maiden, she was 11th behind Zihuatanejo over 2000m. The class relief and leading jockey booking help, but she has to rebuild trust after that last-start failure.

Dropped out to finish last behind Jun Saku at Kasamatsu a fortnight ago, beaten a long way after starting at big odds. The run prior was also plain when sixth behind Conduct O Harae, beaten over 19 lengths. She remains unplaced from ten career starts and was behind Real Stinger recently, so even with class relief she needs a substantial form turnaround.

Returns after five weeks off following a last placing behind Kitano Hightail in a Chukyo Dirt 3yo Maiden over 1900m, beaten over 18 lengths after settling handy. His previous run, also at Chukyo Dirt, was a 12th behind Tanisen Gold when unwanted in betting. Those margins are concerning, and coming back to 1400m is a query, but this class drop third-up gives him the clearest winning platform.

Resumed at Kasamatsu with a sixth behind Ibarahime, finished well held after settling back and giving further ground in the run home. Her previous 3yo Maiden at Hanshin over 2400m was also plain, with Buddy beating her over 15 lengths when she found little after racing close enough. She is unplaced from five starts, but second-up improvement can put her around the minor end.
