Kasamatsu Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
M T ROUGE (4) Came in 3rd last start around here. Will be positive in the run early. Sure to be competitive and must include. KICK OUT (6) Below par performance when 9th last run around here. Capable of a strong comeback. Has early speed and positions nicely. Strong performance expected. LUNA VICTOIRE (2) Ran 4th last time at this venue. Capable of a strong comeback and will try to take advantage of the draw. Should muster plenty of early toe. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ONE SOCK SHORT (5) Finished 6th last run at Monbetsu. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Coming to a new trainer. Worth some thought.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing a distant last in a 2yo Maiden over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, where she faded late and was unwanted in the market. Her debut at Niigata was also plain, finishing well held behind Kanaderu Pegasus after settling miles back. The class drop and race fitness are positives, but her form so far leaves a sizeable gap to bridge.

Worked home from an impossible spot when fourth at this track last start, although the margin was still over 12 lengths behind Satsuki Quantum. The run prior was weaker, finishing last after being unwanted in the market, so the profile is mixed. Her overall record of three placings from five starts gives her a sound place base rather than a strong winning edge.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing last in a 2yo Maiden over 1200m at Nakayama, beaten over 17 lengths and unwanted in the market. Her Niigata debut was similarly plain, finishing second last behind Eclat De Lion after failing to improve. She has been unplaced at around this distance, so the class drop alone is not enough to recommend her strongly.

Placed at this track over 1400m last start when third, beaten three lengths by Lacrime after working home evenly as odds-on favourite. That defeat is the query, but her start-prior win at Mombetsu over 1000m showed race craft when she led and held Sergeant Pepper in a tight finish. With the winning rider back and solid figures at the trip, she sets the standard and looks the runner to beat.

Returns from a six-week let-up with a stronger overall record than most, having won once from three starts and rated well across the past 12 months. Her latest sixth at Mombetsu was plain, beaten over 10 lengths by Mad Secret after making up ground from well back without threatening. The first try around 1400m is a fair question, but this looks a more suitable assignment and she has definite winning claims.

Was well beaten at this track last start, finishing second last behind Quatre Blanche after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. His previous run reads much better, winning at this venue by just under a length from Shutter Chance with a strong finish. As a proven track-and-trip winner, he can bounce back into the placings if he reproduces that earlier effort.

Finished last on debut in a 2yo NEWCOMER over 1600m at Nakayama, beaten a long way after settling rearward and starting at long odds. He is second-up now and has a trainer change, while the broader family has produced Tosen Nick as a city winner. Even so, his race-day evidence is very thin and he will have to lift sharply to trouble the main chances.
