Kasamatsu Race 5 - Race 5 - 1580
HABIBI (2) Tidy effort when 2nd last run at this venue and can find a nice position from the draw. Going well this campaign and showing improvement in recent outings. Solid claims. A SHIN ELAN (8) First up after 9 weeks and ran well when 2nd first up last preparation at Sonoda. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Must be considered. SKY OJI (3) Unimpressive effort when 7th last time around here. Jockey Tatsuya Watanabe rates highly aboard. Likely to get back. Worth an investment. GRAN GUERRERO (4) Came in 5th last start at this track. Don't overlook.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a solid second in a B1 over 1400m at this track, beaten three lengths by Schrodinger after working home evenly and starting near the top of betting. She was sixth prior, but made some ground from well back. Proven at this track and distance and comes back in grade, so she has the right profile to be a serious winning player.

Has been building a persuasive case, finishing second in an A3 over 1800m at this track last start, beaten a length and a half by Stanley after really knuckling down late. He had also run third behind Star Sand Beach in A3 grade the start prior. Back to 1580m suits, his track-and-distance record is strong, and Tsutsui Yusuke has an excellent record on him. He sets the standard.

Has been safely held at his past two starts, finishing seventh in an A3 over 1800m at this track last time when beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. The start prior was another seventh in A2 grade, beaten just under ten lengths. His track-and-distance record is respectable, but current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Resumed with a fifth in an A4B2 over 1400m at this track, beaten just under six lengths by Danse Du Vent after settling rearward. His previous run at Nagoya was a plain last in A2 company at long odds. Second-up improvement is possible, and he has won one of two around this distance, but he profiles more as a place hope than a clear winning chance.

Comes back quickly after finishing well held at Sonoda last week, where she was at long odds and never in the race. Her third at this track the start prior was better, beaten just under four lengths in A4B2 company. Two wins at this track and distance give her some footing, but she must turn around the latest effort sharply.

Was well beaten at this track last start, finishing eighth over 1400m and beaten over 11 lengths after being unwanted in the market. That followed a well-backed COND win here, where she beat Mo Mo Rainbow by a length after travelling right there and letting down well. Weight relief helps, but she looks an each-way hope only if she rebounds.

Produced a sharp turnaround last start, winning in B1 grade at this track by a length and a half from Specialight after being poised to strike and quickening well. The previous Sonoda run was poor, so consistency is the question, but she has now won at this venue and has a distance win on the board. If she holds that latest level, she is a major threat.

Back from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a weak tenth at Sonoda, beaten over 17 lengths after settling rearward and giving ground late. His previous fourth there was better, making up good ground at big odds. He joins a leading track stable and has a sound overall record, but first-up he looks more a place chance than a win anchor.

Improved to finish fourth in an A4B2 over 1400m at this track last start, beaten just under six lengths after picking up nicely in the straight and being near the top of betting. The run prior was poor, but her track-and-distance record of one win and seven placings from 19 starts is solid. She is a realistic place chance with the right run.

Has struggled at his past two starts, finishing second last in an A3 over 1800m at this track last time when beaten over 15 lengths at long odds. He was also sixth here the start prior, beaten eight and a half lengths. A track win and three placings from ten starts are positives, but his current form is well short of what is required.
