Kasamatsu Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
VENERABLE (8) Came in 3rd last time at this track. Hiroshi Sasano stable are on fire recently. Has genuine claims in this race. IBARAHIME (7) Tidy effort when 3rd last start here. Performing impressively this campaign. Has the ability to take this out. KING GENESIS (4) Looked good when 2nd last start at this venue. Should jump out and bowl along. Tatsuya Watanabe is a smart booking. Can take this out. SHIJIMINO HINAKO (1) Came in 4th last time here. Happy to overlook that run and gets the perfect barrier. Likely threat.

Finished fourth to K Two Kip at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market and only fair to the line. The start prior was another fourth, beaten just over eight lengths behind Chuwa Hennessy at long odds. She has placed twice from seven runs at this track and distance, but the winning edge at 1400m remains the concern for a place-focused chance.

Was safely held last start when eighth behind Taisei Bounce at this track, beaten over 11 lengths after racing prominently and coming under pressure late. Her start prior was far better, leading and battling on for second to Chuwa Hennessy. A track-and-distance winner with one win and one place from five tries, she can bounce into the placings if that sharper run returns.

Struggled to get involved last start when tenth to Taisei Bounce at this track, beaten over 15 lengths after settling well back and making no impression. The start prior was a distant fourth in C7 company over 800m, so the recent form lacks force. She has long-term track-distance experience, but the latest figures leave her with plenty to find against these.

Worked home evenly for second to Ocea Fairmont at this track last start, beaten six lengths after again being respected in the market. That followed a fair fourth in C2 company behind Joyful Sunday, so his two runs this campaign have been sound rather than decisive. Third-up for a leading jockey and trainer combination, he profiles as a reliable place hope with scope to press harder.

Made up good ground late when fourth to Taisei Bounce at this track last start, beaten five lengths despite being unwanted in the market. His previous fifth behind Kataphraktos was more one-paced after tracking the speed and finishing ten lengths away. Still unplaced from eight starts overall, so the latest closing effort gives him minor hope rather than a firm winning platform.

Kept in touch but failed to threaten when fifth to Taisei Bounce at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths at huge odds. Her previous fourth behind Kataphraktos was similar, tracking the speed but not finishing the race off. With no wins from eleven starts and only one placing at this track and distance, she has to find a stronger last 400m.

Has placed at both recent runs, most recently third to Kataphraktos at this track when beaten six and a half lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. The start prior was another third in COND company behind Hyakuretsuken, so she is consistent without putting races away. Her one win and two places from three starts at this track and distance, plus Tsutsui Yusuke back aboard, make her a strong winning chance.

Comes through a solid third to Chuwa Hennessy at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths after sitting near the top of betting and not quickening. That followed a soft COND win over Asta Win, where she let down quickly and scored by three lengths. With one win and one place from three starts at this track and distance and the winning rider back, she brings the strongest winning case.

Was well beaten behind Ho O Charles at this track last start, finishing sixth but beaten over 17 lengths after settling with too much to do. The start prior was a second-last finish behind Bellagio Girl, also from a rearward position. Her four wins and 21 places from 92 starts at this track and distance show durability, but recent form says she must improve sharply.
