Kasamatsu Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
REGION POLAIRE (11) Winner by 1 1/2L last time here. Jockey Tatsuya Watanabe adds value. Genuine winning chance. TAISEI BOUNCE (1) Strong performance to win by 1L last start here and will appreciate a good barrier. Won't be far away during the run. Must be considered. WIN ABELIA (6) Ran 2nd last start around here. Looks promising in this race. KARAKURI SPIRITS (9) Brave effort to win narrowly last start at the track. Has good closing speed. Has to be included.

Bounced back strongly at this track last start, winning a C2 by a length from Valk after giving a kick and holding them safely as a short odds-on favourite. That was a sharp response to his ninth at Nagoya, where he was beaten over 16 lengths after being near the top of an open market. Proven one from one at this venue and distance, and third-up he has the profile of the horse to beat.

Went close at this track last start when third in a C2, beaten just over a length after tracking the speed and working home evenly at long odds. The concern is her overall record: no wins from 56 starts, including 44 previous starts around 1400m without breaking through. She can run another honest race, but converting that into a win remains the issue.

Recent form is difficult to recommend after a seventh at this track last start, beaten over 19 lengths behind Elmy at big odds. She had also been beaten over 11 lengths at the run prior, despite making some late inroads. A previous track-and-trip win is the only real counterpoint, but she will have to lift sharply on current figures.

Resumes after three months off following an eighth at Niigata in a Mdn, beaten four and a half lengths by Cadeau De Dieu after working home evenly. His previous run was also an eighth at Niigata, beaten seven and a half lengths when sent out at big odds. He is still unplaced from 12 starts, but the stable change adds some interest for minor money.

Followed a COND win at this track with a second here last start, albeit beaten six lengths by Chuwa Hennessy after leading and battling away. She beat Tsukai Warrior by a length two runs ago and has one win and one placing from four attempts at this track and distance. The latest margin keeps her below the main hopes, but her venue record gives her place claims.

Has put together consecutive seconds at this track, both times beaten a length and a half, and the latest came in a C2 when well-supported favourite behind Joyful Sunday. She also filled the runner-up spot behind Ho O Charles at generous odds the run prior. Still a maiden, but two placings from two starts at this venue and distance make her a serious winning chance.

Finished fourth at this track last start but was beaten eight lengths after tracking the speed and failing to finish off. The run prior was weaker again, finishing fifth in a COND and beaten over 15 lengths behind Hyakuretsuken at long odds. With only one placing from ten career starts, she has to find a stronger closing effort to trouble these.

Was near the top of betting at this track last start but could manage only fifth, beaten ten lengths by Kataphraktos after tracking the speed. That followed a distant last in a Mdn at Chukyo Dirt, where he was never in the picture. He is race fit, but an unplaced seven-start record leaves him with a sizeable task against sharper recent performers.

Arrives off a last-start win at this track, scoring by a neck from Jun Saku as favourite after picking up sharply and arriving late. That followed a sixth at Niigata Dirt over 1200m, where she was beaten three and a half lengths but caught the eye late at long odds. The win gives her a genuine case, though this demands she holds that improvement.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing fourth over 800m at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Peche Plate despite picking up nicely in the straight. The start prior was a last placing here, beaten over 16 lengths after a poor final effort. Her long track-and-trip record includes one win and nine placings, but recent margins are a major hurdle.

Made a strong impression at this track last start, winning a C2 by a length and a half from Ho O Chopin after making up plenty of ground and scoring with something in hand. His previous run at Sapporo Dirt was plain, but the switch back to this venue clearly suited. One from one at the track, distance and with this jockey, he rates a major threat again.

Disappointed badly at this track last start when sixth behind Elmy, beaten over 13 lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite and offering little change of gear. The run prior was far better, beaten only a head by Hyakuretsuken after leading and being caught late. His place chance rests on recapturing that earlier effort, not his latest performance.
