Kasamatsu Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
VALK (3) Faded away to finish 12th last time at Niigata. Can show a better performance this time but will be down in distance. Must respect in this event. TAISEI BOUNCE (5) Moderate showing when 9th last time at Nagoya. First appearance for a new trainer. Should be swooping on the field late. Among better hopes. RAINBOW WORLD (8) Tailed off to finish 16th last time at Niigata. Has the ability to turn things around but down in trip. Appears well in this. LIBERTA ALA (1) Mediocre performance when 5th last start at the track but will appreciate a good barrier. Will be there at the finish.

Conceded a huge start as a prohibitive odds-on favourite last start and could only finish fifth in a 3yo COND at this track, beaten six lengths by Satsuki Jewel. Her previous third at this venue came at big odds after she led narrowly and tried hard. The class drop and fourth-up fitness help, but she profiles more as a place hope than a reliable winning option.

Improved sharply third-up when third in a 3yo COND at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by A Shin Nimbus after leading and only being run down late. She had been unwanted and beaten a long way first-up, so the latest effort is clearly the one to judge her on. Still winless at around 1400m from three tries, but the class drop gives her a strong winning platform.

Back after five weeks following a poor 12th in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, where he was well beaten after fading late and was unwanted in the market. His previous seventh at Kawasaki was also safely held, beaten over 10 lengths. The class drop is the only clear help, but he is unplaced in six starts and must find a much sharper finish.

Worked home from an impossible position when fourth in a 3yo COND at this track last start, though she was still beaten eight lengths by Reynolds Number and started at long odds. The run prior was another distant fourth after making some late ground. She is a track-and-trip winner, but one win from 22 attempts at the set-up leaves her as an each-way chance only.

Was expected to show more at Nagoya first-up, sitting ready to challenge before offering little and finishing ninth, beaten over 16 lengths by Kafuji Raclette. His debut at Kyoto Dirt was also safely held over 1200m, so the exposed form is thin. The class drop, second-up profile and strong rider-trainer combination give him a path into the placings if he improves.

Finished sixth over 800m at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Shijimino Hinako after being well back around the turn. That followed another sixth here when beaten over 15 lengths by Butchigire. Weight relief and the class drop help, but she is unplaced in 14 starts and returns to 1400m with no placing from seven attempts around the trip.

Resumed with a last placing at this track, beaten over 18 lengths by Nihonpiro Perry after settling too far back and never looking likely. Her previous run was a second-last in 3yo+ C1 company, also at big odds and beaten over 16 lengths. Four wins at this track and distance give her some old form, but current performances leave a lot to turn around.

Back after five weeks and drops into C2 company third-up after contesting 3yo Maiden grade at her past two runs. She was 16th over 2000m at Niigata last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Peaceful Mind, and had been ninth at Fukushima Dirt. The 1400m is new and the recent margins are plain, but this is a much more suitable assignment and she has the right profile to rebound strongly.
