Kasamatsu Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
JOYFUL SUNDAY (4) Looked flat when 6th last start at the track. Expected to be flashing home. Serious player. WIN ABELIA (9) In the money when 2nd last time here. Displays good tactical speed. Up to these. IT'S YOU (3) Was competitive when 3rd last run here and back to a longer distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Deserves consideration. KING GENESIS (6) Back from a 26 week break. Faded away to finish 11th last start at Hanshin. Should bounce back but down in distance. Tatsuya Watanabe is a pivotal booking. Can get the job done.

Finished last at this track in a 3yo COND last start, beaten over 19 lengths after settling miles back and failing to improve. That followed another last placing here when finished well held and unwanted in the market. The class drop and weight relief are positives on paper, but 17 unplaced attempts around 1400m underline how much more he must find.

Worked home fairly when fifth at this track last start but was still beaten over 12 lengths and unwanted in the market. The run prior was weaker again, finishing last and beaten over 20 lengths. She is third-up and drops in class with a prior win around 1400m, but recent form says she has to lift sharply to trouble the main hopes.

Has strung together consecutive thirds at this track, most recently over 800m when beaten five and a half lengths after holding her spot and working home evenly. Two back she was closer, beaten two lengths after looming up and boxing on. The maiden record from 20 starts keeps the winning case modest, but she can run into a minor placing again.

Settled rearward and finished sixth at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths behind Karakuri Spirits without a clear excuse. His fourth at Nagoya the run prior had more merit, as he caught the eye late after giving away a start. Third-up and dropping in class, he profiles as a realistic placing chance if he settles closer.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing ninth in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Niigata Dirt, where she was unwanted in the market and did not finish off. She had earlier been seventh over 1000m at Niigata at big odds. The recent form is plain and she steps back up to 1400m, where she was unplaced at her only try, but the class drop gives her a genuine chance to improve sharply.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after ending his last campaign second last in a 3yo Maiden at Hanshin Dirt, beaten over 11 lengths after conceding a big start. His previous fifth at Hanshin was also well beaten at long odds. The leading jockey and trainer combination adds interest, but he resumes as an unplaced maiden with plenty to prove.

Produced the right form turnaround when third to Season In The Sun at this track last start, beaten three lengths after working home evenly despite starting big odds. She was never a factor two back after conceding a huge start, so the latest effort is the run to assess. The winning rider returns and she rates well enough at the distance to make this a strong winning opportunity.

Picked up nicely in the straight when fifth at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths after being unwanted in the market. That was more convincing than her previous third, where she was beaten a long way despite holding a forward enough position. She has placed once from three attempts at this track and distance, which keeps her firmly in the minor-money mix.

Went close at this track last start, finishing second to Ho O Charles and beaten a length and a half at generous odds. That was a sharp improvement on her Sapporo run two back, where she finished last and was beaten a long way after fading. With a placing from her only run at this distance, she brings one of the cleaner last-start profiles and can hold that form.
