Kawasaki Race 7 - Race 7 - 1500
MITONO TEIO (10) is the one to beat after a dominant win at this track, scoring by four lengths as odds-on favourite and doing it with enough authority to confirm the promise of his narrow second the run prior. He has now placed at both starts at this venue and remains well suited around 1500m. CHOCO LATTE (4) is the obvious danger, resuming from a two-month let-up after consecutive COND wins at this track, the latest by a length and a half from Vuelo Oscuras, and his overall record of two wins and a placing from four starts gives him a strong profile. ONNA YUME RAKU (5) was beaten only a neck by Vuelo Oscuras at this venue and brings consistent recent form, although she still has to turn placings into a win. JINGGA BLITZ (2) resumes after four months off, with his Funabashi second to Eukleia and solid 1500m record making him the best of the remaining hopes if ready fresh.

Has been well beaten at his last two runs, finishing 11th at Funabashi when beaten over 20 lengths after coming under pressure late. The start prior was no better, fading from just off the leaders when second last in a C2C3 at this track. His track-and-trip record gives him some grounding, but current form leaves him with plenty to repair.

Resumes after four months off following a plain seventh at this track, beaten just over eight lengths after settling a long way back and making no impression. Earlier in that campaign he was second to Eukleia at Funabashi when sent out short odds-on favourite. His 1500m record reads well enough to give him genuine minor claims if he returns in good order.

Worked home fairly from well back when seventh in a COND at Urawa, but the beaten margin was still over 11 lengths and he went around at big odds. That followed a ninth at this track when never in the picture. The class drop and winning rider returning help a little, yet he has to find a much stronger finishing effort.

Returns from a two-month let-up after completing back-to-back COND wins at this track, most recently scoring by a length and a half as short odds-on favourite. He had also beaten Riko Typhon by the same margin the run prior and is now two wins and a placing from four starts overall. Proven at the venue and distance, he carries a strong winning case again.

Returns from a five-week freshening after going within a neck of Vuelo Oscuras at this track in COND company, a run that confirmed she is close to another win. Before that she was fourth to G Campione, beaten just over three lengths, and she continues to hold her form well. The class drop and 1500m record make her a serious contender.

Finished seventh at Funabashi last start in a COND, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds after being only fair through the line. Two back he was also seventh there and never in the race after conceding a big start. The class drop and winning rider returning are positives, but his current campaign form is still well short of what is required.

Has been safely held in consecutive COND runs, finishing second last at Funabashi last start when beaten over 20 lengths and unwanted in the market. The start prior at this track was worse, ending in a distant last after giving nothing in the run home. She has placed before, but her maiden record and recent margins are major concerns.

Comes off a distant last at Urawa over 2000m, beaten a long way after fading late, and the market had little interest. Two back at Funabashi he was second last over 1200m, beaten nine and a half lengths. Returning to 1500m offers some context, but he has been unplaced in 13 starts across the past 12 months.

Has a place-oriented profile despite finishing last at Funabashi last start, beaten six and a half lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. The run prior was a seventh there when beaten over 12 lengths and unwanted in the market. She has placed five times from seven attempts at this distance, so minor claims remain the realistic angle.

Returns from a one-month let-up after winning by four lengths at this track in COND grade, sent out odds-on and scoring with plenty in hand from Ciel Rise. His previous run was a narrow second to Cutie Phaethon, so the recent form has real substance. With a win and a placing from two starts at this venue, he is the clear horse to beat.

Was sixth at Urawa last start, beaten just over eight lengths after settling rearward at long odds, which was a step back from her third at this track the run prior. She has deep experience around 1500m and a good record with this jockey, including three wins from 11 starts together. That keeps her in the minor-placing discussion.
