Kasamatsu Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
INICIO (4) Ran well when 3rd last time at this venue. Should come to hand quickly. Jockey Tatsuya Watanabe is an asset. No surprise to see a win. BELLAGIO NO YUME (7) Not up to scratch when 8th last run here. Will be around the mark at odds. MARUKA SMASH (1) Finished 5th last start at this track. Should improve here and has the ideal draw. Have to respect the recent Hiroshi Sasano form. Will be trying to topple them late. Well placed and has solid claims. CASTAGNACCIO (2) Finished 7th last run at the track but has a good draw. Looks to have a good chance of placing.

Race fit and drawn to get every chance, he did at least race more positively last start when leading before finishing fifth behind Smart Etoile at this track, albeit beaten a long way. His previous C2 run was plain from the rear, so the 1400m record of one placing from three keeps the trip as a query. Hiroshi Sasano's strong track record helps offset the recent margins and keeps him in the winning mix.

Has a track-and-trip win on the record, but the latest seventh behind Smart Etoile at this track was a clear backward step, beaten out of sight at long odds. His start prior had more merit, making up ground late for fourth in C2 company behind Boccio, beaten five lengths. With Maruka Smash and Inicio having his measure recently, he profiles as a place chance rather than a major winning threat.

Recent form is hard to recommend after finishing ninth behind Smart Etoile at this track, never competitive and beaten out of sight at long odds. She was also last in C2 grade the run before, beaten over 19 lengths after settling a long way back. The jockey-horse placing record offers only minor support, and she has to produce a major form reversal.

Third-up and back in class, he brings the clearest recent platform after finishing third over 1400m at this track, beaten three and a half lengths by Boccio as a dominant odds-on favourite. He was safely held there, but the run still built on a fourth in COND company when he battled on. With the leading jockey-trainer pairing and solid track/distance evidence, he is the one they have to beat.

Second-up after being well found in betting first-up, she has to be assessed through that market respect as much as the raw result after finishing second last over 1400m at this track, beaten over 15 lengths by Ridge Line. Her Hanshin Dirt run prior was also plain, yet she remains lightly raced and comes from a leading track stable. That profile keeps her right in the winning argument.

Comes back quickly from a last at this track over 1400m, where she was beaten out of sight at long odds after settling rearward. The previous C2 run was similar, seventh behind Lino Luana and beaten over 16 lengths without making any impression. She has won at this venue, but the current figures are too plain and the short back-up does not help her case.

Has genuine track-and-trip form in the book, with one win and five placings from 16 attempts, but the current form is well short of that standard. She was never competitive when eighth behind Smart Etoile last start and had been second last in C2 grade the run before. The stable is respected, though recent margins leave her with plenty to turn around.

Finished a distant last behind Smart Etoile at this track last start and offered little from the rear. The start prior in C8 grade was only marginally better, beaten over 10 lengths by Bambi Chan after again making no impression late. With just one placing from 28 starts overall and none from 13 at this track and distance, she is difficult to recommend.

Third-up and back from C4 company, she has some set-up positives after finishing last at Mombetsu over 1200m, beaten over 13 lengths but not completely folding late. The run prior over 1000m was also well held, and she returns to 1400m having been unplaced in two previous tries around the distance. The leading jockey-trainer combination gives her a minor-place path if she improves.

Resumes after a three-month break following an eighth at Morioka Dirt over 1200m, where she settled rearward and made no impression at an outside chance in the betting. She gets weight relief and a class drop for her first try around 1400m, while the Tokyo run two back was a more respectable tenth, beaten four and a half lengths in a Mdn. The record is still winless, but the set-up gives her place claims.
