Kawasaki Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400

CALLING HENNY (5) has the strongest winning case after being run down only late at Urawa, finishing second to Maruno Anna and beaten half a length while again respected near the top of betting. His prior fifth at this venue was sound enough, and Ryo Novata's strong track profile adds to a very workable set-up. CARALUNA (12) brings the fresh winning form, having beaten Takaichi Ascot by a length and a half at Urawa after being unwanted in the market, and her record includes proven track-and-trip success. PURE LIEN (1) has placed at both starts at this track and at this distance, so the inside draw and consistent recent form keep him right in the race. ORO FALCON (4) resumes from a long break, but his last campaign included a second to Natsu Hayate and a late-closing fourth to Uptown Girl at this venue, giving him enough exposed form to be a legitimate place and upset chance fresh.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening in consistent form, having run third at this track behind My Presti, beaten two and a half lengths after working home evenly from a position near the top of an open market. He had earlier finished second to Gomez at this venue at generous odds, and has placed at both track and distance attempts. From barrier one with Tsubasa Sasagawa back aboard, he looks a genuine winning player.

Finished tenth at Funabashi last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Baldoria after having the job ahead and making no headway. His prior seventh there was also plain, beaten over 11 lengths after being unwanted in the market. With no wins from 32 starts and no placing in eight runs over the past 12 months, he has a considerable form turnaround to produce.

Comments

Recent runs have been poor, most recently second last at Urawa behind Caraluna when beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. The start prior was no better at this track, where he finished tenth behind Gomez and never looked likely. He does have a win and eight placings around 1400m and has won with Koshi Yoshidome before, so a minor placing is possible if he rediscovers older form.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last campaign with a fourth at this track behind Uptown Girl, beaten six and a half lengths but catching the eye late from well back. He had been second to Natsu Hayate at this venue the run prior at big odds, showing he can be competitive in this grade. Still a maiden from four starts, but fresh he has enough substance for the exotics.

Went very close at Urawa last start, leading and only being run down late by Maruno Anna when second, beaten half a length, after starting near the top of betting. The 1400m record is still a small qualification, but he placed at the trip and his previous fifth at this track was sound enough in context. With Ryo Novata riding and his recent form rating well, he sets the standard to beat.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing seventh at this track in June, beaten over 11 lengths by Riko Stechkina when unable to quicken. Her previous Funabashi run was also safely held after being unwanted in the market. She has placed twice from eleven starts at this track and distance, but the winless 24-start record makes her more a rough place hope than a winning threat.

Has shown little in two Funabashi runs this campaign, finishing second last behind Python most recently after settling rearward and making no impression. That followed a distant last behind Proud Park, so the recent pattern is difficult to support. He is unplaced from ten starts overall and was unplaced at his only try around 1400m, leaving him with too much to find.

Dropped out sharply at Urawa last start, finishing last behind Maruno Anna and beaten over 14 lengths after being close enough to do better. The run before was another heavy defeat at this track when second last behind My Presti. A light 52kg is some help, but her two placings from 41 starts leave her needing a major form reversal.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing ninth at this track behind My Presti, beaten over 13 lengths at long odds despite settling just off the lead. Her previous 900m run was also only fair, though she has won in the past 12 months and owns three placings around 1400m. Current form is the clear concern, but her broader profile keeps her in the place mix.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a plain first-up tenth at this track behind Gomez, where she settled rearward and was well beaten at big odds. Her previous run before the break was another unplaced effort behind Riko Stechkina, beaten over 11 lengths. With one placing from 15 starts and no recent market confidence, she has to find considerably more second-up.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last at this track behind My Presti, beaten a long way after settling rearward and weakening further late. She had also finished last behind Gomez at this venue the start prior, beaten over 18 lengths and unwanted in the market. Unplaced in ten track-and-distance attempts, she looks safely held on exposed form.

Comments

Produced a sharp turnaround at Urawa last start, quickening strongly to beat Takaichi Ascot by a length and a half despite being unwanted in the market. The start prior at this track was plain, but she is a proven track-and-trip winner and has a solid one win and one placing from four rides with Niihara Shuma. If she holds that latest level, she is a major winning chance again.
