Kasamatsu Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
LIBERTA ALA (5) looks the horse to beat in a modest 3yo COND over 1400m, with her latest third at Kasamatsu clearly the right platform. She was big odds there yet held a narrow lead and tried hard before finishing beaten just under five lengths, a sharp improvement on the Niigata 3yo Maiden run over 2000m. KEFALONIA (6) is the main danger after also lifting into third last start, and his Kasamatsu record at the track and distance is sound enough for this. MOUNTAIN DAUGHTER (8) brings the closest recent margin, beaten two and a half lengths by A Shin Nimbus, but the earlier heavy defeat keeps the win case slightly less secure. GOLDMUNZE (1) has not placed in five starts, yet her last two runs are good enough to make her a genuine minor-money player if she finds a little more late.

Worked into fifth at Kasamatsu last start, beaten seven lengths by A Shin Nimbus after settling rearward and starting at long odds. The start prior over 800m here had more market respect, finishing fourth behind Beast Wars after giving away a start and working home well. Still unplaced from five starts, but that pair of efforts leaves her with a realistic place profile in this line-up.

Finished fourth at Kasamatsu last start but was still beaten over 11 lengths by Jun Saku and failed to finish it off after starting at long odds. The run prior was no stronger, finishing seventh on good ground and beaten over 12 lengths by Kataphraktos. She did split form with Kefalonia recently, but the overall profile says she needs a sizeable lift.

Was only fair through the line when seventh at Kasamatsu last start, beaten nine lengths by A Shin Nimbus after going around as an outside chance. She had been a short odds-on favourite the run prior but could manage only fourth, beaten over 12 lengths by Butchigire. The class drop and race fitness help, yet the distance query and lack of a recent finish keep her to the fringes.

Conceded a big start at Kasamatsu last start and was always chasing, finishing sixth and beaten eight and a half lengths by A Shin Nimbus after being unwanted in the market. His previous fifth was further away again, beaten over 14 lengths by Butchigire on good ground. With six unplaced runs behind him and a distance query still attached, others bring stronger claims.

Lifted sharply second-up at Kasamatsu, finishing third behind Ibarahime and beaten just under five lengths after holding a narrow lead and trying hard at big odds. That was a clear step forward from the Niigata 3yo Maiden over 2000m, where she was 12th and beaten over 17 lengths by Meiner Lihim. Third-up now, with a placing at both the track and trip, she has the strongest winning case.

Kept grinding from a difficult position to run third at Kasamatsu last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Jun Saku at generous odds. That was a much better effort than his previous last behind Kataphraktos, when he was unwanted in betting and never looked likely. Placed at the track, distance and with Tsutsui Yusuke, he is a credible threat if the latest improvement is repeated.

Was safely held again at Kasamatsu last start, finishing sixth and beaten over 16 lengths by Elmy after racing prominently before coming under pressure late. The start prior was a distant last behind Go Legend on fast ground, despite being near the top of an open market. Her 52kg is some help, but recent form says she must turn things around sharply.

Produced the best recent margin of these when third at Kasamatsu, beaten two and a half lengths by A Shin Nimbus after leading and only being run down late. That was a substantial improvement on her fresh run, when fifth here and beaten a long way by Ocea Fairmont at big odds. The distance query is worth respecting, but the latest run gives her clear place claims.
