Kasamatsu Race 11 - Race 11 - 1580
BACKPACK (3) Below par when 9th last run at this venue. Good to see Shigeharu Mabuchi is jumping on. Going well this campaign. Good prospects. SENGOKUBUSHO (4) Mediocre performance when 6th last run here but proven runner at this distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. Going well this preparation winning 5 from 8 attempts. Can go on with it. HIFUMI BANDAM (5) Only fair when 10th last time at the track. Will be positive in the run early. Among better hopes. KING MINISTER (9) Ran 4th last run here. Might be ridden for luck. Definite claims.

Returns from a three-month break after fighting on to win a C3 over 1400m at Sonoda, beating O Shin Bomber by a neck when near the top of an open market. He had been poor at Sonoda the start prior, beaten over 12 lengths by A Shin Reaper, but the 1580m record reads well with two wins and three placings from nine attempts. Freshness is the query, though the draw and trip keep him in the mix.

Returns after one month with a strong third-up profile, having been eighth behind Dagr Force over 1900m at this track after settling well back and finishing only fairly. His previous run was a narrow A3 win from Windmuhle as favourite, and he is one win and two placings from three tries at this track and distance. With Tatsuya Watanabe's strong record aboard him, he can rebound sharply.

Back after a six-week freshening following a poor ninth at this track, beaten over 13 lengths by Gustar after being unwanted in the market and making no impact from back in the field. The start prior was much better, a three-length win from A Shin Kosonte at this venue, and she has won around this distance. On the latest evidence, however, she has a fair bit to turn around.

Returns after one month since a sixth at this track, beaten just under seven lengths by Windmuhle after looming without finishing the job. That was an improvement on his previous run when last behind Gustar and beaten over 16 lengths after market weakness. Four wins from seven at this track and distance are a clear positive, but recent form leaves him with plenty to prove.

Returns after one month following a first-up run where he finished last behind Dagr Force over 1900m at this track, beaten over 18 lengths after having a handy position and dropping out. He was also safely held in A1 grade before the break, although the market respected him there. The class drop and prior track-and-distance win help, but he must lift markedly second-up.

Returns after one month since closing from an impossible position for seventh behind Dagr Force over 1900m at this track, beaten just over four lengths at big odds. Two back he was only beaten half a length by Cash Blitz in A1 grade, so there is substance in his recent form. The 1580m record is deep enough, and Seigo Tsukamoto back aboard gives him a sound place profile.

Worked through the line only steadily when fifth behind Hirono Rafale over 1400m at this track a fortnight ago, beaten just over five lengths as an outside chance in betting. Her previous third behind Windmuhle had more merit, as she came home strongly from a long way back. One win and seven placings around 1580m give her a base, but others bring stronger winning form.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing third at this track over 1800m, beaten eight and a half lengths by Milan Milan while working home evenly. His earlier third in A1 grade over 1900m was also sound from well back, and four wins from nine at this track and distance are a strong anchor. The lay-off tempers the win case, but he is capable of running into a placing.

Was beaten as favourite when fourth behind Hirono Rafale over 1400m at this track a fortnight ago, but he was fair to the line and remains reliable around this venue. Two back he was second in A4 grade behind Hawaiian Icon, having run on from a difficult spot as a very short odds-on chance. His track, distance and Soichi Kato records all read well, so he deserves another chance.

Returns after one month as the top selection, having swept home to beat A Shin Leo by a length over 1900m at this track in COND grade despite starting big odds. His previous fifth behind Cash Blitz was plain, but the overall profile is strong: four wins from seven at this track, two wins at the distance and three wins from four with Junki Mochizuki. Top weight is manageable given that record, and he sets the standard.
