Kasamatsu Race 4 - Race 4 - 1580
REAL KENCHAN (7) Close to claiming the win last time around here. Expecting to settle positively. Performing impressively since coming back from a break. Every chance today. KASANARU KISEKI (1) Right up there last start at the track and drawn beautifully. Should muster plenty of early speed. Must respect. TSUKINO KOBUNE (2) Narrowly beaten last start at this track and drawn nicely. Strong each way hope. SHIBANO TEN TEN (4) Unsatisfactory performance when 8th last start around here. Has to be included.

Went down by a head at this track last start after being sent out favourite, so the winning case is clear despite finding Whiti Te Ra just better. The first try at around 1580m is the query, but she has two wins and five places from twelve runs at this venue and draws barrier 1. With Mikio Fujiwara back aboard after a strong record together, she gets the right platform to break through.

Continues to race honestly, running third in a C3 at this track last start when beaten half a length and again well found in betting. The start prior he kept grinding from a difficult spot to place in C6 company. Proven around 1580m without winning and holds a strong record with Hiroshi Ohara, though Real Kenchan had his measure recently. A solid place profile.

Recent form has been well below the required level, with a last in C6 grade at this track when beaten over 19 lengths after never looking likely. The run prior was also plain, beaten seven and a half lengths at generous odds. The class drop and a previous placing at this track and distance give her a small counter, but she has to improve markedly to get into the placings.

Worked home fairly from a long way back when second last in B4C2 company at this track, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. That was an improvement on the start prior, where she was beaten over 16 lengths in C1 grade. The class drop and weight relief are meaningful, and her recent 12-month record is stronger than the last two runs suggest. Looks capable of lifting into a placing.

Safely held in two runs since resuming, most recently eighth in a COND over 1900m at this track when never competitive and beaten out of sight. She was also second last over 1800m the start prior after giving away a big start. Third-up fitness, a class drop and the winning rider returning help only so much; a sharp form turnaround is required.

Put in his best recent effort two starts ago, working home well for fifth in C5 company at this track and beaten just under two lengths. He then regressed in B4C2 grade, last of nine and beaten nine lengths after conceding a huge start. Back in more suitable company with a leading rider aboard and past track-and-distance placings, he can be included for the minors.

Has missed by narrow margins at his past two, finishing second in a C3 at this track last start when beaten a head as an odds-on favourite. He had also run second in C8 company the start prior, working home evenly behind Tureis. His profile is hard to knock with two wins and five places from seven starts at this venue, and the drop from C3 gives him a strong winning case.

A track-and-distance win sits on the CV, but recent form leaves her with work to do. She was seventh in C5 company at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths at big odds after settling well back, and her prior fourth still left her just over seven lengths from Carthusian. Carries only 52kg and drops in grade, but she must find a much stronger finish.

Brings a good overall record at this track, with three wins and one placing from six starts, and the top-ranked trainer is a positive. The recent form is the concern: tenth over 1900m last start when beaten a long way at big odds, after a third over 1800m where she only battled on. Unplaced at her only try around 1580m, she is hard to recommend on current form.
