Kawasaki Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500
CORNETTO ROSSO (1) is given the chance to rebound after being beaten just under ten lengths as favourite at this track, with his broader profile much stronger than that one run. His previous fourth in C2 company was sound, he has two wins and five placings from twelve starts around 1500m, and his record at this venue keeps him right at the top of calculations. POSITIVITY (9) is the clear danger after winning at this track by a length and a half at big odds, and his three wins and one placing from four runs at the distance give that form real substance. A'S ODIN (7) was solid first-up when second at Funabashi over 1800m and has enough 1500m form to be a winning threat second-up. FULMINE BIANCO (3) was dominant winning a COND at this track by four lengths and brings sharp recent form, though he profiles more as a strong placing hope than the safest winning option.

Returns from a five-week let-up with stronger claims than the latest run suggests. He was last as favourite at this track, beaten just under ten lengths after giving away too much ground and never getting into the race, but his previous fourth in C2 company was far better. Two wins and five placings from twelve runs around 1500m and a reliable venue record make him a genuine rebound candidate.

Picked up better when fifth at Urawa last start, beaten four lengths at long odds, so there was at least some improvement on the previous ninth at this track behind Positivity. The concern is that he was beaten over 10 lengths that day and remains unplaced from three starts at this venue. A distance win helps, but the recent figures leave him with plenty to find.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a dominant COND win at this track, beating Pod Shank by four lengths after taking up a slim advantage and putting them away with authority. He had also worked home well for third behind Boncellensis the start prior. Three wins from seven around 1500m underline his suitability, and he has the form to hold a place in the main chances.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fifth in a COND at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths when he sat just off the leaders and failed to quicken. That was below the level of his prior win here, when he beat Awesome Sienne by just under a length as one of the better-backed runners. Proven at this track and distance, he is a realistic place player if he bounces back.

Caught the eye late when fifth at Urawa over 2000m, despite being unwanted in the market and still beaten seven and a half lengths. His previous Funabashi win in C2 company over 1800m was the stronger piece of recent form, beating Takao Smile by a length and a half. The return to 1500m is the sticking point, with no placings from four runs at the trip, so a place looks the more likely ceiling.

Finished off well enough to grab third at Urawa last start, beaten a length and a half at big odds, which was a clear improvement on the previous sixth at this track when unwanted in betting and beaten nine and a half lengths. Four placings from fourteen runs around 1500m give him some minor claims, but his track-distance record is plain and a stronger winning case is hard to build.

Second-up after a solid return at Funabashi, where he finished second in C2 grade over 1800m and was beaten a length and a half by Watzmann. He worked home evenly there and now comes back to a trip where he has a win and six placings from twenty attempts. With a leading stable behind him and the first-up run under the belt, he has the right platform to press for the win.

Returns from a five-week let-up after another placing at Sonoda, finishing third and beaten just under two lengths at long odds. That keeps his consistency intact, though the previous third was a much softer form line on margin, beaten nine and a half lengths. Two wins and ten placings from eighteen runs in the past year show reliability, but turning placings into a win at this venue is the challenge.

Returns from a five-week let-up in winning form after surging home at this track to beat Erin Flame by a length and a half, despite starting at big odds. That was a strong rebound from an A3 eighth at Nagoya, where he was beaten over 11 lengths after finding little late. His 1500m record is excellent, with three wins and one placing from four starts, and that distance strength makes him a major threat again.

Back from a two-month break after a weak tenth at Niigata Dirt, where he was unwanted in the market and beaten over 17 lengths after settling back and giving ground late. His previous seventh at this venue was better but still only fair, beaten five and a half lengths. The class drop and weight relief help, yet his recent form has to lift sharply before he becomes a serious factor.
