Kasamatsu Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
REGION POLAIRE (2) Struggled with the pace when 11th last start at Sapporo. Giving another chance here and has a good draw. First appearance for a new trainer but coming back in trip. Take holding out. ASTA WIN (8) Did well when 2nd last start at this track. Open to improvement and has a show in this field. MARUKA SMASH (7) In the money when 2nd last run at the track. Possesses good finishing speed. Hiroshi Sasano has been training plenty of winners recently. Each way chance at best in this. SWAY BACK (3) Below standard effort when 7th last run at this track. Strong each way bet.

Improved into second at this track last start in a 3yo COND, but he was still beaten seven lengths by Chuwa Hennessy after holding a narrow lead and trying hard. That was a clear lift on his previous last at this venue, where he was finished well held and weak late. The inside draw and race fitness help, but he must turn that placing into a much sharper finishing effort to trouble the stronger hopes.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing 11th first-up in a 3yo Maiden over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt, beaten over 14 lengths after settling just off the lead. His debut eighth at Hakodate came after conceding a huge start, so the race record remains thin. The grade relief and top local trainer-jockey combination help, but 1400m is new and he profiles as a place hope rather than a sure thing.

Had every chance to run into the race when seventh at this track last start, but was beaten over 14 lengths by Ho O Charles after being near the market lead in an open race. Her previous second to Jun Saku, beaten just under a length as favourite, gives her a better reference point. With one placing from five tries around 1400m, she can improve into a minor-money role if that earlier form returns.

Produced one of her better runs when fourth at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Satsuki Jewel after settling handy despite being at long odds. That followed a fifth here when beaten seven lengths after getting back, so the latest effort was a step in the right direction within this campaign. The 1400m record is still winless and unplaced, but she has enough recent substance to chase a placing.

Was unwanted in the market and beaten over 11 lengths when sixth at this track last start, with the final effort offering little. The start prior was no stronger, finishing last here and beaten over 19 lengths by Elmy after coming under pressure late. A returning rider who has placed on her before is a small positive, but her record at this track and distance leaves plenty to prove.

Returns from a five-week let-up after running second at this track over 1400m, beaten five lengths by Butchigire while near the top of betting. He did not threaten the winner, but it was still a major local improvement on his Chukyo Dirt failure two starts back. Third-up, with a placing from his only run at both this venue and distance, he has the profile to take another step forward.

Comes off a solid second at this track in 3yo COND grade, beaten three lengths by Venerable after working home evenly and starting near the top of betting. Her Chukyo Dirt run two back was poor, but the return to this venue and trip produced the right response. Third-up now, with a placing at this track and a 50% place record at the distance, she brings the most persuasive winning case.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing 11th at Chukyo Dirt, beaten over 17 lengths by Akino Beauty when in touch but gone soon after. Her previous eighth behind Unnatamsa was more respectable, and that race also had her ahead of Asta Win, but she has not placed in four starts. First try around 1400m and plain recent finishing efforts make her an each-way outsider only.
