Kawasaki Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
MEINER MONT BLANC (6) Did well when 3rd last start at this track. Amongst the placegetters frequently this campaign. Expected to be flashing home. Well placed and has solid claims. VELOS (9) Found another gear when winning by 7L last start here and proven performer at this distance in the past. Can't knock the form winning 2 in succession. Will give a big sight. THOR TESORO (7) Competitive effort when 2nd last time at Urawa and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has a nice turn of foot. A win wouldn't surprise. BRIGHT MELODY (11) First run back after spell. Claimed a tight victory last run around here. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Respect in this event.

Was safely held at Funabashi last start, finishing seventh over 1200m and beaten over 10 lengths after sitting just off the pace and only battling home. The start prior was also plain when fifth, beaten just over seven lengths by Attract Run. She is still a maiden after 26 starts, so a sharper finish is required against these.

Finished fifth in a COND at Funabashi three weeks ago, but the margin was over 16 lengths and she was big odds. Two back she did work home evenly for third behind Pod Shank, though that was still a six-length defeat. The return of a winning rider is a plus, but her form has to lift sharply to trouble the better chances.

Back after five weeks, and her recent efforts at this track have been sound enough for minor claims without carrying a strong winning look. She was fourth to Party King last start, beaten six lengths after settling rearward, following another fourth behind Afro Gal. Placed four times at this track and distance, she can run honestly again, but the maiden record caps the confidence.

Went close at Funabashi last start, finishing second over 1200m and beaten a length by Thinking Fursa after working home evenly. That backed up a third behind Kurino Cenote, when she had a lot to do and still found the line. She has won at around 1400m and the recent pattern reads positively, making her a strong winning chance in this line-up.

Back after five weeks following a below-par tenth at this track, where she was in the right spot but offered little and was beaten over 15 lengths. Her previous run over 900m was more respectable, but still only seventh after settling well back. Third-up and back in a kinder set-up helps, yet she has to show a clear turnaround.

Back after five weeks, having placed at this track last start but with the beaten margin over 13 lengths after he worked past weakening rivals. His Nagoya fourth two back had more merit, as he had plenty to do and kept coming behind Blood Moon. A strong 1400m record and leading local stable support keep him in the place mix, though the last result was not as strong as the placing reads.

Ran second at Urawa three weeks ago, beaten a length and a half by Aeolian Ridge, and that followed a third behind Okashi Daisuki Man. Both recent runs came in COND grade and he has been respected in open markets, which gives the form some substance. With two wins and three placings from seven starts around 1400m, he has a realistic place-to-winning profile.

Back after five weeks, and the current campaign form is hard to recommend. She was second last at this track last start, well beaten by 24 lengths after settling rearward and weakening, following a last placing over 900m when never in the race. A couple of past track-and-distance placings are not enough to offset the recent evidence.

Back after five weeks, and she returns in outstanding order after consecutive C3 wins at this track. She beat Marron Fuerte by seven lengths last start as a very short odds-on favourite, having also scored by three lengths from Uptown Girl the run prior. Her track-and-distance record is a major strength, and she has the form, profile and confidence to make this another winning run.

Returns from a four-month break after ending his last campaign with a tenth at this track, beaten over 16 lengths when unwanted in the market and making no late impression. His previous Funabashi run was also well held at big odds. He has placed twice at this track and distance, but the overall maiden record and plain recent form leave him with plenty to prove fresh.

Returns from a six-month break after closing her last campaign with a narrow win at this track, beating Affirmative by a neck after tiring late but doing enough. The run prior was a distant seventh behind Pawa Poke Kanon, so there is some unevenness in the profile. Still lightly raced and already a track-and-distance winner, she has genuine place claims fresh.

Back after five weeks, and there was more to like in his latest fifth at this track when he picked up nicely in the straight after being unwanted in betting. The run prior was plain, with no real challenge behind Afro Gal, but he is a proven track-and-distance winner and has a fair record with Kasumi Kamio. Fourth-up, he has enough positives to rate as one of the better chances.
