Kasamatsu Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
MICHAEL (1) Below par when 11th last time here but has minimal work to do from the barrier. Should be going forward early. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Winnable race. CHUWA ACE (5) Competitive effort when 3rd last start at the track. In top racing shape this campaign. Goes very close. KA PUA (6) Finished 5th last run at this track. Should improve and strong form at this distance. Should come to hand quickly. Ichito Matsumoto has been successful previously. Goes close. YOKO MY LOVE (4) Mediocre display when 7th last time at this venue. Should muster plenty of early toe. Should go close

Dropped out badly last start in a 3yo COND over 1900m at this track, finishing a distant last behind Gokokuhojo after being unwanted in the market. The run prior showed a much better level, leading and beating Muscat Oman by five lengths as a short odds-on favourite. Back to a proven track-and-distance set-up, she has each-way claims only if that latest failure is left behind.

Finished sixth in a 3yo+ A5B2 at this track a fortnight ago, beaten over 12 lengths by Luxe Leon after settling with too much to do and never looking a threat. His previous third behind Chateau Periotto in 3yo+ A4B2 company was much sounder, beaten only a length. This is a kinder assignment, but he was also behind Ao Lele last time and profiles as a rough place chance.

Has returned in good order with two seconds this campaign, the latest a head defeat behind Convex in a 3yo+ B5 at this track when she picked up strongly late. She had also run second in 3yo+ B4 grade two weeks earlier and has been near the top of betting both times. Third-up with a consistent seasonal record, she is a genuine placing hope who is close to another win.

Held third in a 3yo+ B1 at this track last start, beaten six lengths by A Shin Yatagarasu after failing to quicken when the race lifted. That followed a dominant 3yo+ B5 win, beating Red Swing by five lengths as a well-supported favourite. His record of five wins and four placings from 14 starts at this track and distance gives him a solid place profile.

Worked home evenly when fifth in a 3yo+ B3 over 1580m at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Pinnesiri despite being near the top of betting. That followed a last in 3yo+ B1 company when beaten out of sight. The return to 1400m suits on her record, including two wins from three at this track and distance, but recent form keeps her to an outside chance.

Has been well held at both recent runs, finishing seventh in 3yo+ A3 company at this track last start when beaten over 15 lengths by King Minister at big odds. He was also last the run prior in 3yo+ A4 grade, beaten over 17 lengths after conceding a big start. The class drop and course record offer some context, but he must find a far sharper finish.

Improved sharply last start in a 3yo+ A5B2 at this track, running third behind Luxe Leon and beaten just over a length after working home evenly as the well-supported favourite. His Nagoya run over 2000m before that was safely held, and his overall 1400m record is only moderate, but this is a better fit. With Tatsuya Watanabe aboard and the latest run back at this venue strong, he sets the standard.
