Kawasaki Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400

NATURAL TURN (13) Unsatisfactory performance when 12th last run at the track. Expect to go close. ERIN FLAME (14) Ran well when 2nd last run around here on a heavy rated track. Jockey Ryou Nobata and trainer Yoshihisa Suzuki are a strong combination. Will be competitive. MARU MORI ACTIVE (3) Made a mess of them when winning by a margin of 3L last run at the track and ideal distance as proven previously. Expecting to settle positively. Winnable race. AOI HANAMICHI (6) Strong performance to win by 1L last run around here on a heavy track and strong performer at the distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Deserves consideration.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after finishing sixth at this venue, beaten three and a half lengths, when big odds and unable to finish off. The C1 win over 900m two runs back showed a turn of foot, and Naoki Machida has a strong record with him, but he is winless from seven around 1400m and has to lift fresh against stronger winning profiles.

Back after five weeks following a heavy defeat at this track, finishing last and beaten over 14 lengths after being gone soon after the turn. He had also been safely held over 900m the run prior. His three wins from five at this track and distance are a clear counterpoint, but recent form says he must improve sharply.

Back after five weeks in winning form, having controlled her latest C1 assignment at this track and beaten Olperer by three lengths in a dominant display. The previous ninth as favourite is easy enough to set aside given the immediate response, and her two wins plus two placings from five at this track and distance give her the right profile to go close again.

Back after five weeks following a third over 1600m at this track, beaten four and a half lengths after working home evenly in a small field. She was unwanted and beaten seven lengths the start prior, so the winning edge is not strong, but weight relief and a place-heavy record at this track and distance keep her in the minor-money discussion.

Back after five weeks after finishing third at this track, beaten just over six lengths when tracking the speed and only fair late. The run prior was stronger, beaten a neck by Narino Emblem despite being unwanted in the market. She is one win and three placings from five at this track and distance, which gives her genuine place claims.

Back after five weeks and chasing four straight wins after beating Smile Thrive by a length in C1 grade at this track. Her previous win over Black Tourmaline was even stronger, coming by four lengths as an odds-on favourite. Three wins from three at this track and distance, plus two wins from two with Niihara Shuma, make her a serious winning chance.

Returns from a two-month gap after a disappointing last of eight at this track when sent out favourite and unable to launch a serious challenge. The stronger reference is her prior C1 win over Flanking Line by four lengths, and she owns two wins plus two placings from five at this track and distance. A rebound puts her right in this.

Returns from a four-month break after being beaten over 11 lengths at this track when he had the job ahead and made no headway. His previous fifth was also only fair, beaten six and a half lengths. A past win at this track and distance offers some background, but his recent profile is too plain to recommend strongly.

Back after five weeks with form to turn around after finishing sixth at this track, beaten just over nine lengths, when she did not quicken. She was also unwanted in the market and only moderate two runs back. Her broader 1400m record has substance, but the latest figures leave her with a sizeable task.

Back after five weeks and second-up after finishing 11th at this track, beaten over 11 lengths, when big odds and never in the picture. The stable and jockey profile is strong, and he has two wins plus three placings from nine at this track and distance, but the fresh run leaves him chasing a major form reversal.

Worked home well enough at Urawa last start to run third, beaten just under two lengths, after being among the outsiders. That was a better guide than the prior 1600m run at this track, where she led and tired badly. Back around 1400m, with a win and a placing from four at this track and distance, she has a credible winning case.

Has been beaten a long way at his past two, most recently tenth at Funabashi when unwanted in the market and never likely. The start prior at this venue was no better, beaten over 16 lengths. He has won at this track and distance, but recent race form gives him too much ground to make up.

Back after five weeks and second-up after dropping out sharply at this track, finishing last and beaten a long way despite being near the top of betting. His overall record of seven wins and six places from 22 starts is strong, so he is not hopeless, but he has to restore confidence before being treated as a win threat.

Back after five weeks after being run down late in C1 grade at this track, finishing second and beaten a length and a half as a very short odds-on favourite. She had beaten Kazuya by a length at this venue the start prior, and her two wins plus two placings from four starts at this track make her a genuine place hope again.
