Kasamatsu Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
HERMOSA CASTANO (8) Ran 4th last run at the track. Can show a better performance this time. Jockey Tatsuya Watanabe adds value. Definite winning chance. DROP OF RAY (7) Ran 5th last run around here. Overlooking the last run. Going well this preparation. Will be around the mark at odds. COPANO LANCER (4) Mediocre display when 10th last run here. Expecting improvement here and will be well suited at the distance. In fine form since returning from a break. Goes very close. AUTUMN MEMORY (5) Back after a break. Came in 5th last start here. Should jump out and bowl along. Strong each way bet.

Finished eighth behind Whiti Te Ra in C4 grade at this track last start, beaten nine lengths after being unwanted in the market. The run prior was no better, with a big early deficit leaving him seventh and beaten over 11 lengths by Yamanin Elphaba. He has placed five times from nine starts at this track and distance, but his maiden record makes him hard to recommend as a winning hope.

Worked into fourth behind Whiti Te Ra in C4 grade at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths despite being unwanted in the market. He had also finished fourth over 1580m the run prior, though that margin was much wider at big odds. The class drop helps and the 1400m trip is familiar, but an unplaced record from three tries at this track and distance keeps him in the place bracket.

Ran fourth behind Margot Cara in C3 grade over 1580m at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after starting at long odds. His previous third behind Yamanin Elphaba was the better pointer, as he finished off nicely from a fair way back and was beaten just over three lengths. Back to 1400m with a solid place record at the trip, he is a realistic minor-money chance.

Dropped right out behind Margot Cara last start, finishing last and well beaten by 22 lengths in C3 grade after being near the top of an open market. That is a clear concern, but his second to Eye On The Ball two back in C1 grade was much more like it and he has eight wins around 1400m. If he finds that earlier form from his natural forward style, he can sneak into the money.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign fifth behind Pep Talk at this track, beaten just over seven lengths after leading. Her stronger reference point came one run earlier, when she beat Ancient Dance in C1 grade by just under a length and was near the top of betting. With two wins and three places from eleven starts at this track and distance, she resumes as a strong winning chance.

Finished seventh behind Margot Cara in C3 grade at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds, and there was no clear excuse in the run. She had also been safely held when fifth behind Yamanin Elphaba, finding others stronger late. A previous win at this track and distance is some support, but her current form leaves a sizeable gap to bridge.

Made her case clearly two runs ago when sent out favourite and beating One Short Day by five lengths in C6 grade at this track. She then rose to C1 level and finished fifth behind Good Romance, beaten just over six lengths, but she loomed into it and kept giving. Back in a more suitable grade with one win and two placings from four at this track and distance, she looks the one to beat.

Had every chance in the market last start when sent out an odds-on favourite, but could manage only fourth behind Beast Wars in C1 grade, beaten just over eight lengths. The win prior was much stronger, beating Lady Sofia by a length and a half at this track, and her overall profile remains progressive with two wins from six starts. With the leading jockey-trainer pairing, she rates a major threat.

Back from a two-month break after finishing fifth behind Nihonpiro Perry at this track, beaten over 11 lengths when she failed to finish it off. She had also run fifth to Noah Black the start prior after settling rearward, so the recent form is more honest than sharp. The class drop and proven 1400m record give her a place path, but she has to produce a stronger finish to win.

Finished eighth behind Margot Cara in C3 grade at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after starting at long odds. The run prior was more competitive on paper, a third behind Tureis, but she was still beaten nine lengths and only worked home evenly. A track-and-distance win and past success with this jockey are positives, though current form demands a fair turnaround.
