Kasamatsu Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
SAINT MORITZ (4) Found another gear when winning by 5L last time at this venue. Has plenty of early speed. Should take beating. KEFALONIA (5) Below par when 7th last time at the track. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. A SHIN LEADING (2) Finished 5th last run at the track but gets a favourable draw. Solid place bet prospects. REAL STINGER (6) Ran 4th last run at this venue. Keep an eye on the market.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing a distant last in a COND at this track, where he was at long odds, settled miles back and failed to improve behind Venerable. His debut at Niigata Dirt was also a tailed-off last in a Mdn, so the class drop and third-up fitness are only minor offsets. He has a great deal to find on exposed figures.

Comes through the key Saint Moritz race at this track, finishing fifth and beaten over 16 lengths after being sent out at generous odds. The start prior in C2 company was also a fifth, beaten nine lengths, but she was fair to the line and has recent form that still stacks up in this field. The 17-start maiden record is the main knock, yet she remains one of the stronger chances if she holds her level.

Has the right historical profile for this track and distance, with four wins and 19 places from 96 starts, but the current form is much harder to support. She was sixth last start, beaten over 14 lengths at long odds, after being last in a C2 the run before when never in the race. The old course-and-trip record is respected, but recent efforts leave her with too much to turn around.

Bounced straight back to winning form at this track last start, scoring by five lengths from Riko Redeye while starting near the top of an open market. She had been disappointing in a C2 start prior when failing to finish off, but the latest result was decisive and she has now won at this venue and distance. Having already put a space on A Shin Leading recently, she brings the clearest winning case and sets the standard.

Dropped out to finish seventh in C2 grade at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after settling rearward and making no impression late. His previous run was no better, tailing off in a COND despite being near the top of betting. He has placed once at this track and distance and gets a strong jockey-trainer set-up, but the recent form has to lift markedly.

Has produced two fourths in succession and the earlier of them reads well enough for this, coming home strongly in a C2 behind Riko Redeye after looking unlikely to feature. Last start she was again fourth at this track, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market, so the margin tempers enthusiasm. Still, she has beaten A Shin Leading and Saint Moritz recently and carries a genuine winning hope in this company.

Second-up after a very plain return at this track, where she was near the top of betting but was never competitive and beaten out of sight behind Smart Etoile. Her previous Niigata Mdn run was also well held, so the race record is not easy to trust. Market respect first-up suggests some underlying regard, and any natural improvement could bring her into the placings rather than the main win slot.

Tracked the speed last start but weakened out to finish sixth behind Saint Moritz, beaten over 17 lengths and unwanted in the market. The run prior in C2 grade was more competitive in attitude, as she kept going even though never a winning hope. Weight relief is the key positive this time, but an unplaced record from 13 starts keeps her more of a place contender than a reliable winning option.

Was never likely to feature last start when seventh at this track, beaten over 14 lengths, but she did make some late ground after settling a long way back. Her previous third in C2 grade was stronger, especially given she was unwanted in the market and finished off well. She rises 3kg from those recent runs, so a repeat of the two-back effort is required to keep her in the minor-money frame.

Recent form has tapered away, with a last-start last at this track when well beaten at long odds after settling rearward and weakening further late. The start prior was also poor in C2 grade, beaten over 16 lengths after making no impression. She is unplaced from 16 starts overall and has no placing from eight tries at this track and distance, so only a major turnaround brings her into calculations.
