Kasamatsu Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
VILLA LOBOS (9) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at this track. Amongst the placegetters regularly this preparation. Has to be included. HO O CHOPIN (5) Did well when 2nd last start around here. Has early speed and positions nicely. Must respect. VALK (7) Placed 2nd last run at the track. Possesses good closing speed. Looks to be value. CHEERFUL DOOR (3) Did well when 3rd last start at this track. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Exotics hope in this event.

Finished a distant last in C2 grade at this track three weeks ago after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The start prior was also plain, last over 800m and beaten over 16 lengths after having every chance to the turn. The class drop is some help, but she is unplaced in all 24 starts at this track and distance and has plenty to turn around.

Was a beaten odds-on favourite when fifth in C2 grade at this track, safely held and beaten just over six lengths by Novel Piace. She had been much more competitive two back when fourth in a COND, only just over a length away after being run down late. Even so, she remains unplaced from ten starts and has not placed in seven runs at around 1400m, so she must lift.

Closed into third in C2 grade at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths by Novel Piace after settling rearward and starting at generous odds. Her previous fourth had merit too, as she looked unlikely before finishing strongly from the back. Still a maiden from ten starts, but she has two placings around 1400m and profiles as a sound minor-money chance.

Held a narrow lead and kept trying when third in C2 grade at this track last start, although the eight-length margin says she was well beaten by Lino Luana. The run prior was less convincing, as she sat just off the leaders and offered little late in a COND. Her on-speed pattern keeps her involved, but a winning strike still looks harder than another placing.

Comes off consecutive seconds at this track, most recently leading in C2 grade before being run down late by Region Polaire and beaten a length and a half. His previous second was more one-sided, but he still stuck on after racing handy. With two placings from three runs at this track and distance, he has the right recent profile to make a serious winning bid.

Worked home well for fourth in C2 grade at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths by Novel Piace after being kept safe near the top of betting. That followed a second at big odds behind Satsuki Jewel, where he closed off evenly and missed by a length. He is still a maiden with only one placing at this trip, but current form gives him a place case.

Produced the best last-start pointer in the race when second in C2 grade at this track, picking up impressively and finishing within a length of Taisei Bounce. The Niigata Dirt Mdn run before that was well held over 1800m, but he has returned to this venue in much better order and now reaches his third run this campaign. With that 1400m placing under him, he is the one to beat.

Was never a winning chance when sixth in C2 grade at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths despite working home fairly from well back. She had placed over 800m the run before, but that was still five and a half lengths from the winner. The weight relief is a positive, yet 21 starts without a win leaves her facing a stern task.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing third at this track, but the market expected more and she was beaten ten lengths by Kitano Kosei after failing to quicken. Her previous run was a costly sixth as a short odds-on favourite, beaten over 17 lengths by Dolls. Two placings from three runs at this track and distance help, but she has to find sharper acceleration.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing tenth in a Hanshin Mdn over 1600m, beaten seven lengths when unable to make ground from a difficult position. The run prior at Chukyo was much better, as she was beaten just under two lengths at big odds and kept coming. She is untried around 1400m, but the class drop and strong local stable make her a major danger.
