Kasamatsu Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
YAMANIN ELPHABA (4) Thrashed the field when winning by 7L last start around here and showing improvement in recent outings. Tatsuya Watanabe rates highly aboard. Must respect in this event. BEAT UMAZAMMAI (1) Honest race when 3rd last time at this track and drawn well. Finishes off strongly. Very competitive this preparation. Must be considered. VILLE NATALE (3) Clearly outclassed when 10th last time at this track. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. YUTO THE KIMPATSU (8) Underperformed when 9th last time at this track. Each way a good option.

Worked home evenly for third in a 3yo+ C4 at this track last start, beaten just over a length after being close enough in the betting. The previous 1580m run was plain, but she returns to a C7 with two wins and five placings from nine starts at this track and distance. With Myojo Haru Dai back aboard and a solid season record behind her, she profiles as the main threat to the favourite.

Worked home well enough for fourth in a 3yo+ C4 at this track last start, but was still beaten six lengths and unwanted in the market. Two back, she was safely held when second in a 3yo+ C8. Beat Umazammai had her measure a couple of weeks ago, and despite proven track-and-distance experience, she has to find considerably more winning punch.

Returns after one month since a poor first-up effort, when last in a 3yo+ B9C2 at this track and beaten out of sight. Her start prior at Nagoya was much more respectable, finishing sixth in a 3yo+ B1 and only beaten two and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite. One win from two starts at this distance gives her a path to improve, but she is more a place hope than a confident winning play.

Dominated over this distance at this track last start, winning a 3yo COND by seven lengths after being sent out odds-on and proving far too strong late. That followed a nose second at this venue when heavily backed into very short odds, so her recent form is clearly the strongest line in the race. With a perfect track record so far and Tatsuya Watanabe back aboard, she sets the standard again.

Picked up in the straight when sixth over 1580m in a 3yo+ C3 at this track last start, but the result was still a seven-and-a-half-length defeat at generous odds. His previous fifth had some late merit after making up ground, yet he was favourite and still missed the mark. The class drop and return to 1400m help, but his track-and-distance record leaves him looking vulnerable.

Ran second in a 3yo+ C5 at this track last start, but was beaten five lengths as favourite after settling rearward, so the placing reads a little softer than it looks. That followed a last placing when she fell away badly in a 3yo+ COND. A prior track-and-trip win is some support, but recent form has not carried enough authority to mark her as a major threat.

Failed to finish off when seventh over 1580m in a 3yo+ C3 at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after travelling handy enough. The run prior was sounder, a third in 3yo+ C5 company, though she still lacked the turn of foot to seriously challenge. Back to a more suitable 1400m, she can work into a minor placing without looking a strong winning chance.

Was miles back and unable to make an impression when last in a 3yo+ C1 at this track first-up, beaten over 14 lengths. His previous run was also weak, finishing second last in a 3yo+ C3 after finding the right spot and offering little. The class drop and strong placing record with Soichi Kato are positives, but his maiden status after 29 starts is a serious anchor.
