Kawasaki Race 6 - Race 6 - 1500
KITANO CHANCE (2) Finished 2nd last run here and can find a nice position from the draw. Shuuma Niihara and Shinobu Sakai are consistently competitive when paired. Displaying good ability this campaign. Will go well. CIEL RISE (7) Did well when 2nd last start at the track on a heavy track. This field suits. MORI INVICTUS (9) Clearly outclassed when 10th last run at Funabashi. Will be positive in the run early. Well placed and has solid claims. RIKO WALLEYE (3) Came in 4th last time here. Expecting improvement here. Displays good tactical speed. Not out of this.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a Sapporo Mdn ninth over 2000m, beaten just over nine lengths at long odds when never likely from well back. She had been sixth at Sapporo the run prior, unwanted in betting and beaten four and a half lengths. A placing from three tries around 1500m gives some footing, but her maiden record says she must improve sharply.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a half-length second at this track, where she finished strongly and again held a prominent place in betting. She had also run second at this venue on fast ground the start prior, beaten a length and a half by Afro Gal. With three wins and five placings from nine starts around 1500m, plus a strong record with Niihara Shuma, she sets the benchmark.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth in a COND at this track, beaten five and a half lengths after leading. That followed a sharp COND win at this venue, where she picked up late to score by a neck from Wise Blaze. The latest margin keeps the win case measured, but her recent form is sound enough to keep her in the minor-money picture.

Second-up after finishing second last at Urawa, beaten over 15 lengths at long odds after travelling close enough and weakening quickly. Her previous run was also only fair, a six-length fifth at Urawa when unwanted in the market and never a factor. One win from 22 starts and a poor recent profile leave her with a sizeable task.

Failed to finish in a COND at Funabashi last start when unwanted in the market, which is hard form to recommend. The run prior was no better, finishing second last at this track and beaten over 20 lengths after settling back and weakening. He has placed three times from seven starts at this venue, but recent efforts make him difficult to support.

Resumes after a two-month break and arrives third-up, with the class drop giving her a better platform than recent Mdn form. She was 14th at Niigata over 2000m, beaten just under eight lengths at big odds after settling miles back, following an eighth at Sapporo. The first go around 1500m is the query, but the setup and Ryo Novata booking keep her right in the race.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a COND second at this track, beaten four lengths by Mitono Teio after looming and fighting on without ever really threatening. The start prior was a plain seventh here when well fancied, so he still has to confirm that latest lift. Proven around 1500m and fitter third-up, he shapes as a solid place chance.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing tenth at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Party King when unwanted in the market and unable to quicken. He had also made little impact here the run before, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. The fourth-up set-up helps, but he was behind Kitano Chance last month and looks a place-only proposition.

Was well beaten by 26 lengths at Funabashi last start in a COND, and there was no clear excuse to soften that result. His previous second over 1200m at Funabashi was better, doing some useful late work behind Wings, while seven placings from 20 starts show he can run into a cheque. First look at this track and the long maiden record keep him to an outside place chance.
