Kasamatsu Race 9 - Race 9 - 1580
DEA LUCE (6) First run back from a break. Finished 5th last time here. Should improve here. Hiroshi Sasano stable are in good form of late. Winning claims. WILSON WAY (2) In the money when 2nd last run at the track and gets a favourable draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Can take this out. CHUWA JORDAN (3) Came in 5th last start around here. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. FROZEN KISS (5) Came in 7th last start at this venue but suited at this distance historically. Might be ridden for luck. Genuine winning chance.

Made a better fist of it last start when second in a 3yo+ B6 at this track, beaten a length by Ziegfeld after being unwanted in the market. That was a clear lift on her previous fifth behind Puerta Azul, where she was beaten over 12 lengths despite making some late ground. She has placed three times from nine goes at this track and distance, but the winning record remains a concern.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing second to Puerta Azul over 1400m at this track, beaten five lengths after lacking the dash to really threaten. His previous sixth behind Miel Citron was only fair, though he was respected in an open market. The key strength is the track-and-distance record, with three wins and two placings from nine starts, so he has the right grounding to be competitive again.

Was safely held last start when fifth to Lovers Blue at this track, beaten over 10 lengths after settling rearward and never getting into the race. His start prior was much better, running third in 3yo+ C1 company behind Cosmo Finesse after tracking the speed and working home evenly. The veteran has a solid record with Junki Mochizuki, but he will have to reproduce the two-back run to trouble the main hopes.

Dropped out sharply last start in a 3yo+ B5 at this track, finishing last behind Convex and beaten just over nine lengths after settling a long way back. He had been second to Chuwa Ace two runs earlier, but that margin was still five lengths and he was unwanted in betting. The class drop helps a little, though recent form says he must find a much stronger finish.

Finished seventh behind Convex in 3yo+ B5 grade at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths after making some ground without ever looking a winning hope. Her previous second-last behind Milky Princess was weaker, with over 12 lengths to make up. She does own two wins from five at this track and distance, but current form leaves her with a fair bit to prove.

Returns from a four-month break with the best overall credentials in the field. She ended last campaign fifth in 3yo+ B1 company over 1900m at this track, beaten just under five lengths after being near the top of betting, and that followed a narrow win over Tomoe in 3yo+ B4 grade. Six wins from nine starts at this venue and a win from two at the distance make her the horse they have to beat.

Returns from a two-month break after two disappointing 1400m runs at this track, most recently second last to Chuwa Daio in 3yo+ B3 company when unwanted in the market. The form has to turn around, but she now gets weight relief, drops into a more suitable race and has three wins plus one placing from eight starts at this track and distance. That profile keeps her right in the winning discussion.

Was only fair through the line when eighth behind Pep Talk in 3yo+ COND company at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths at generous odds. His previous second to Bijin Hakumei in 3yo+ B6 grade was more encouraging, especially as he was near the top of an open market. With one win and two placings from nine at this track and distance, he is more a place threat than a clear top pick.
