Kasamatsu Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
A SHIN NIKE (9) Looked good when 2nd last time at this track. Jockey Tatsuya Watanabe is a bonus. Will be trying to topple them late. No shock to see a win. WIN ABELIA (8) Finished 6th last time at this venue. Should improve here. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Right in this. KEN BRIDGE SAKURA (2) Did well when 3rd last start here and drawn nicely. Should jump out and bowl along. Strong chance. ORLUNE (10) Disappointing effort when 9th last start here. Has the ability to take this out.

Finished last at this track last start, beaten a long way after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. The start prior was no better, again last and well beaten by 22 lengths after fading late. She has one win from 23 starts overall and is unplaced in four runs at this track and distance, so a sharp turnaround is required.

Placed again at this track last start, finishing third behind Ocea Fairmont, though the ten-length margin keeps that form in perspective. She had also run second in a C2 the start prior, beaten seven lengths after failing to quicken. Still winless from 14 starts, but two placings from five at this track and distance keep her in the place mix.

Has the benefit of a quick back-up and owns a win at this track and distance, but the recent form is plain. He was sixth here last start, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds, after another sixth when beaten over 12 lengths. One win and five placings from 19 at the course and trip helps, but he must show more late.

Has been safely held in two runs at this track, finishing eighth last start after settling rearward and going around unwanted in the market. The start prior was another well-beaten effort when second last behind Kataphraktos. She remains winless from 39 starts, though four career placings give her some minor-place hope if this race falls away.

Second-up after a first-up seventh at this track, beaten nine and a half lengths behind Taisei Bounce when only an outside chance in betting. His Niigata Mdn run before that was better, working home evenly over 2000m when beaten four and a half lengths. The 1400m record is still a query, but a leading track jockey going on gives him genuine claims.

Dropped out sharply at this track last start, finishing second last and beaten over 17 lengths behind Taisei Bounce at big odds. The run prior over 1580m was also poor, beaten over 19 lengths after never looking likely. A past win at this track and distance is the only real positive, and she has to recover plenty of lost ground on recent figures.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing last at Mombetsu over 1000m, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. His previous run was similarly plain, but he has a better record than many of these, with two wins from 17 starts and a win from two visits to this track. First-up fitness is the unknown, yet his local record keeps him in the place discussion.

Had every chance but did not finish off when sixth at this track last start, beaten nine lengths behind Taisei Bounce. Her start prior reads much better, a C2 second as favourite when beaten a length and a half by Joyful Sunday. She has placed twice from three runs at this track and distance and beat Forever Love here last week, so the winning case remains sound.

Comes off the strongest recent run in the race, finishing second at this track last start when beaten two and a half lengths by Valk as favourite. The start prior at Hanshin was plain, but she is lightly raced and has already placed at this track and over the distance. Barrier 9 is the query, though the top-ranked trainer and jockey at this track make her the one to beat.

Was second last at this track last start, well beaten by 24 lengths after settling miles back and failing to improve. The start prior was also safely held, seventh and beaten over 16 lengths behind Kataphraktos at long odds. She has placed twice from ten at this track and distance, but her current form leaves a major task.
