Kawasaki Race 11 - Race 11 - 1600
PREMIUM TEAM (5) Resuming after a break. Won by a big margin of 9L last time at Funabashi. Should come to hand quickly. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. SHIGE KING (1) Racing fresh after a break. Was fighting out the finish when winning last start around here and drawn the rails. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Winning hope. NIGHT MOVE (4) Ran 4th last time at this track but solid career start. Masashige Honda and Shinobu Sakai show promise as a combination. Has won 2 from 3 attempts this campaign. Must respect in this event. LOOSE AGGRESSIVE (9) Ran away with a win by a margin of 5L last time here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Can fill a place in this field.

Returns from a four-month break with a perfect record, having won both starts at this track over 1400m. The debut win by seven lengths was more decisive than the narrow follow-up, when he was a prohibitive odds-on favourite and just held Sun Balkan after leading. The move to 1600m is new, so he has a genuine distance question to answer, but barrier one and his record keep him in the placing mix.

Returns from a four-month break after making a sharp winning debut at this track, scoring by five lengths over 1400m when near the top of betting. That was a soft small-field success and he has not yet been tested at around 1600m. The raw profile is attractive, but this asks for a fair bit more depth than he has shown under race conditions.

Back after five weeks since a plain first-up eighth at this track, beaten over 13 lengths by Loose Aggressive when unwanted in the market and unable to make headway. Two back he was fifth behind Shige King, beaten three and a half lengths after closing from a long way back. His earlier track wins read well enough, but the latest effort leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Back after five weeks since finishing fourth behind Loose Aggressive at this track, beaten eight lengths despite being near the top of betting. The run prior was much stronger, winning over 1400m at this venue from Bluff Catch and finishing off well. He has two wins from three starts here, but the latest margin against key rivals makes him hard to promote beyond an improver.

Returns from a three-month break with two wins from two starts, both at Funabashi and both achieved in dominant fashion. He beat Yuyu Fire by nine lengths last time after being heavily backed into very short odds-on territory, having won by a long way on debut. This is his first look at this venue, but the substance of those margins gives him a credible place chance fresh.

Finished off well when fourth at Mombetsu last start, beaten just over two lengths as favourite over 1200m, so there was merit in the run despite the beaten-favourite tag. He had won the start prior at the same venue, scoring by half a length from Del Piero, and his one win and two places from four starts give him a solid base. The first attempt at 1600m is the query, but his consistency makes him a strong winning chance.

Back after five weeks and comes through the key Loose Aggressive race, finishing third at this track but beaten six and a half lengths after only battling on. Before that he was second to Night Move over 1400m when favourite, working home evenly. A one-win-and-two-places record from three starts shows his reliability, though the latest margin points more to a placing profile than a win claim.

Finished seventh at Mombetsu last start, beaten four lengths over 1200m after being unwanted in the market and only working home evenly. The run prior was a sixth in Open grade at Sapporo, beaten four and a half lengths at huge odds after leading. He has already tried around 1600m without placing, so even with race fitness on side he has to find a stronger finishing effort.

Back after five weeks with the strongest recent line, having beaten Unoki Bombaye by five lengths at this track after taking control and finding plenty. That lifted his record to three wins from four starts, with the only blemish a Urawa sixth behind Unoki Bombaye when odds-on. He has already won at this track and trip, rates well on recent form, and looks the horse they all have to beat.

Back after five weeks since running second to Loose Aggressive at this track, beaten five lengths as favourite after travelling close enough but never threatening the winner. His previous Urawa win was strong, beating Chura Blossom by six lengths in an open market, and he had Loose Aggressive behind him there. The latest clash is the concern, but his overall record keeps him firmly in the winning conversation.

Back after five weeks since a sharp three-length win at this track over 1400m, where he tracked the leader and sprinted clear as favourite. He had been second on debut to Gold Monaco, also at this venue, so his two-start record is clean. The challenge is the untried 1600m from a wide barrier in a stronger line-up, leaving him with more to prove despite the upside.
