Kawasaki Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
VIVIEN PALACE (4) is the top pick despite a plain debut, having been asked to sprint over 900m when last behind Akeno Hime and now given the chance to show more with that race experience behind her. The first try at around 1400m is the query, but this is not a deep exposed-form race and she has the profile to improve sharply second-up. DAINO EIKO (2) also comes through a heavy debut defeat, yet he showed enough early speed to lead before dropping out behind Ganar Iroha and now has the leading local rider aboard, which gives him a genuine rebound case. BEAR BLAZE (6) was beaten a long way in the same race as DAINO EIKO, but did finish ahead of him and comes from a leading-trainer yard, so she has a place-to-winning chance if the debut run brings her on. BELLA BROWNIE (7) has at least had two race starts and was fair late when fifth behind Up Up Up after giving away too much ground, making him a minor contender with race fitness on his side.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing sixth at this track when beaten out of sight behind Disposto at long odds. The run prior was no stronger, as she was last behind Siena Shangrila and beaten a long way after being miles back. Unplaced in all three starts overall and twice at this distance, so even with race fitness she has a substantial gap to close.

Returns after one month since a debut run where he led at this track but weakened right out to finish last behind Ganar Iroha, never competitive and beaten out of sight. That form has to be treated cautiously, yet he is second-up, drawn inside and gets Ryo Novata, the leading track jockey. If that first run has brought him forward, he has enough upside to be a major player.

Resumes after two months off following a second-last finish at this track, beaten over 19 lengths behind Siena Shangrila after settling rearward. His debut was also plain, finishing a distant last behind Clever Pine at big odds. Third-up timing is some help, but two unplaced runs at this distance leave him with plenty to find against the main chances.

Returns after one month since a 900m debut at this track, where she settled well back and was tailed off behind Akeno Hime at generous odds. The first attempt at around 1400m is the obvious unknown, but that debut experience can count for plenty in a field with limited depth. With Naoki Machida booked and scope to improve second-up, she still shapes as the horse to beat.

Back after a five-week break since finishing fifth over 900m at this track, beaten seven and a half lengths behind Shiga after being unwanted in betting. He was also safely held on debut behind Snow Jewel, though the margins are less severe than several rivals. Untried around 1400m, so he profiles as a rough place chance rather than a strong win hope.

Returns after one month since debuting at this track, where she conceded a huge start and was never in the race, finishing sixth behind Ganar Iroha and beaten a long way. She did finish ahead of Daino Eiko in that same race, which is relevant here, and the Yoshihisa Suzuki stable has strong local standing. Improvement second-up can put her into the placings.

Back after five weeks since finishing last in a small field at this track, beaten over 16 lengths behind Up Up Up after having to make up a lot of ground. His debut over 900m was also well held behind Snow Jewel, but he is now third-up and has at least had two race-day lessons. A placing is within reach if he can travel closer through the race.
