Kawasaki Race 1 - Race 1 - 900

DRAMATURGY (11) Just missed last start at this track. In top form since coming back from a break. Must respect. VOID (5) Below standard effort when 10th last run at the track. Won't be far away during the run. A win wouldn't surprise. HANASAKI POPLAR (10) Ran 7th last run here. Should improve here but coming back in distance. Jockey Naoki Machida consistently rides well for this stable. Going well this preparation. Must be considered. SASAKIN POPPY (7) Back from a break. Subpar when 11th last run at Funabashi and dropping back to a shorter trip. Cracking each way value.

Returns from a five-week freshening with a great deal to turn around after finishing second last to Kanasando at this track, beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds. The start prior was even weaker when last behind Hanasaki Poplar, beaten over 18 lengths. Unplaced in all 28 starts overall and winless at this trip, she has to lift sharply to make an impact.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after two heavy 1400m defeats at this venue, finishing second last behind Horse Spirit and Narino Dream by margins beyond 14 lengths. He is a previous track-and-trip winner and Takuto Iketani has won on him twice, but the recent form has been well below the required level. A sharper return to 900m form is essential.

Comments

Followed her narrow win at this track with a plain tenth at Funabashi, where she sat just off the lead but offered little when it mattered and was beaten nine and a half lengths. The earlier win came at big odds when she beat Dramaturgy by a neck, so there is a genuine peak in the profile. She looks more a place chance than a horse to trust fully on the win line.

Closed off nicely for fourth behind Python at Funabashi last start despite being unwanted in the market, and that followed a third at this track when beaten just over a length by Kanasando. She has placed twice from three rides for Yu Takahashi and carries 51kg again. Her win strike-rate is modest, but recent efforts give her a strong chance in this company.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening third-up after finishing tenth to Kanasando at this venue, beaten just over eight lengths from a rearward position. He had also failed as favourite behind Hanasaki Poplar the run prior, so the current campaign has been disappointing. His track-and-trip record is sound, but recent performances leave him with plenty to prove.

Was seventh at Urawa last start when just off the leaders but unable to pick up, beaten six and a half lengths by Yes Yui Can. Her previous fourth at Funabashi was better, beaten just under two lengths after travelling into it before failing to finish off. She has a prior win around 900m, though others bring stronger recent closing form.

Returns from a lengthy five-month spell after ending the last campaign with a poor second last behind Alpherg at Funabashi, beaten over 16 lengths. The run before that was much more encouraging, a close third to Loin at this track at generous odds. Her 900m record contains plenty of placings, so she can be competitive for a minor role if ready fresh.

Found the task too hard from well back at Funabashi last start, finishing seventh behind Python and beaten seven lengths despite working home fairly. Her previous sixth at this track was better, beaten just under two lengths by Kanasando after making ground. Six placings from twelve track-and-distance starts point to a realistic place chance rather than a clear winning edge.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing eighth to Kanasando at this venue, beaten just over four lengths after settling rearward and keeping on without threatening. Two back he made solid inroads from well back when sixth to Tanoshisa. A previous track-and-trip win helps his case, but he has to produce a sharper late burst.

Returns from a five-week let-up with the best track-and-distance credentials in the field, having won three and placed five times from ten attempts. She was only seventh behind My Presti over 1400m last start, but her prior 900m win at this track was decisive, beating Fly Effect by two lengths. With Naoki Machida back aboard, she is well placed to rebound strongly.

Comments

Returns off a five-week let-up after two strong seconds at this track, most recently beaten a neck by Kanasando as favourite after looming and fighting hard. She was also runner-up to Tanoshisa two back after leading to the turn. Still looking for a 900m win here, but three placings from four attempts and Ryo Novata's record on her keep her right in the race.

Comments

Made solid inroads from midfield when fifth behind Python at Funabashi last start, beaten just under five lengths at big odds. She had earlier finished fourth to Kanasando at this track, only a length and a half away after tracking the speed. The overall win record is modest, but those two runs give her enough substance to press for a minor placing.
