Kawasaki Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

POD SHANK (6) is the one to beat on overall profile, with four wins from eight starts and a strong 1400m record giving him the most reliable winning base. He was turned over as a very short odds-on favourite when second at this track last start, beaten four lengths by Fulmine Bianco, but his four-length Funabashi win over Mond Spiegel the run before reads strongly for this. ORIKO PARADISE (1) is the main danger after fighting on to win a C2 at this track by a length and a half, and his track-and-distance record gives that result substance. MIO THUNDER (10) has the right course-and-distance grounding, having placed again at this venue last start, and the Yano booking adds further appeal. KITANO HOSEKI (4) has been well found in betting at Ohi and brings consistent placing form, though she still has to turn that into a first win.

Returns after five weeks off a strong C2 win at this track, looming up and fighting on to beat Piko Green by a length and a half despite starting among the outsiders. His previous eighth was plain, but the broader profile is solid: two wins and four placings from ten starts at this track and distance, plus a good record with Hiroto Ito. Drawn to be handy again, he rates a genuine winning chance.

Comments

Made some late ground from an impossible position when fifth at Funabashi last start, but was still beaten seven lengths at big odds. The run prior was weaker again, finishing second last and beaten over 11 lengths after being unwanted in the market. A past win at this track is some support, yet her recent figures leave her with plenty to find.

Comments

Returns after five weeks following a ninth at this track, beaten four and a half lengths after failing to quicken. Two back he got well out of his ground over 1600m and finished off respectably without threatening. His past 12 months include three wins, so he has the grounding to run better, but an unplaced track-and-distance record keeps him in the place mix rather than the top tier.

Returns after six weeks since finishing sixth at Ohi, where she held a narrow lead before being swamped and beaten three and a half lengths as one of the main chances. Her previous third came in C2 company, but the margin was over 11 lengths. She has placed five times from eleven starts and the 1400m suits, though a first look at this venue makes her more a place hope.

Second-up after a heavy Urawa defeat, finishing second last and beaten over 19 lengths after coming under pressure late. The head second at Urawa before that shows he is capable of better, and he has a win and a placing from four attempts at the distance. Even so, the latest run was too poor to overlook and he must rebound sharply to trouble these.

Returns after five weeks with the best overall profile, having won four of eight starts and placed at his only run at this track. He was safely held as a dominant odds-on favourite last start, beaten four lengths by Fulmine Bianco, but that followed a four-length COND win at Funabashi over Mond Spiegel. Proven at 1400m and effective for Akira Harita, he has the right form base to atone.

Returns after two months off following an 11th at Ohi, beaten just under eight lengths after settling too far back to threaten. Her prior run was a distant last, and she is unplaced in five starts across the past 12 months. There are placings in the overall record, but recent form has been plain enough to restrict her to a minor chance if she improves.

Returns from a lengthy four-month break after ending last preparation with a fourth at this track in COND grade, beaten six and a half lengths after being right there and failing to go on. The run before was a third at this venue, and her track record is sound with one win and two placings from five starts. She has the right course and distance background, but resumes with something to prove.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy three-month break after ending last preparation with a distant last at Fukushima, where he gave further ground in a weak run to the line. His Hanshin Dirt run before that was also well below par. The counterpoint is strong: two wins from two starts at this track and two wins from three around 1400m, so a return to local form would put him in the money conversation.

Comments

Returns after five weeks off a third at this track in COND grade, beaten five and a half lengths at big odds after lacking the turn of foot to seriously challenge. The prior ninth was plain, but her track-and-distance record is hard to ignore: one win and two placings from three attempts. With Takayuki Yano back aboard, she has enough course-specific strength to be a major player.

Comments

Returns after five weeks since finishing second last at this track, beaten just under eight lengths after giving away too much start. His previous run is the reason he cannot be dismissed, as he charged home to win a COND at this venue by a length and a half from Blue Ocean. That turn of foot keeps him in the place discussion, though he has to rebound from a flat latest effort.

Comments

Worked home evenly for third in a COND at Funabashi last start, but the beaten margin was just over seven lengths and he started at long odds. The run prior was weaker, finishing 11th and beaten over 11 lengths after being unwanted in the market. Third-up fitness helps and Genki Fujimoto knows him well, but he still has to bridge a clear gap on the main chances.
