Kawasaki Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400

GAURA THUNDER (11) First up from a break of 22 weeks and was agonizingly close first up last preparation here. Can take this out. BAOXUE TENSHI (6) Finished 7th last time at Mizusawa. Should bounce back and strong performer at this distance in the past. Will be competitive. RIKO STECHKINA (12) Placed 3rd last run around here. Should be rolling forward early from the wide gate. Tracking very well this preparation. Worth consideration. COMPETITIVE (3) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at the track. Showing great form since coming back from a break. Might have to make up considerable ground. Goes very close.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing 11th at this track, beaten over 11 lengths in a COND, when close enough to do better but fading right out. The run prior was also plain, finishing sixth behind Choco Latte and beaten over 10 lengths after being unwanted in the market. A past track-and-trip win gives some context, but current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a sound second at this track, beaten two lengths by Vuelo Oscuras after finishing strongly. Her previous run was only fair when seventh, but the broader record is reliable, with one win and four places from six starts overall. Two placings from three attempts at this track and distance make her a genuine minor hope fresh.

Returns from a five-week let-up following a strong second at this track, where he had plenty to do but worked home well behind Narino Dream. He was safely held two back, yet his overall profile is sound with one win and three placings from seven starts at this track and distance. He also beat Riko Stechkina recently, and with the winning rider back he looks the horse to beat.

Returns from a five-week freshening after another heavy defeat, finishing tenth at this track and beaten over 11 lengths when never in the picture. Two back he was also tenth, beaten over 16 lengths after giving little in the run home. The rider booking and class relief help at the edges, but he remains winless from ten and must lift sharply.

Was in contention at Urawa last start but found little late, finishing seventh and beaten six and a half lengths. Her previous third at this track was better, although that came at big odds and she was still beaten five and a half lengths. A track-and-trip win is in the book, but one win from 40 starts overall keeps the assessment cautious.

Returns from a five-week let-up after failing as favourite at Mizusawa in a B2, finishing seventh and beaten just under seven lengths when only fair through the line. That followed a determined C1 win at Morioka Dirt, where she beat Litoria by just under a length. Three wins from seven starts around 1400m give her a solid base, but she has to rebound from that last effort.

Made some late ground from well back at Funabashi last start, but eighth and beaten nine and a half lengths still reads only fairly. He had also run seventh behind Narino Dream at this track the start prior, finishing behind Competitive and Riko Stechkina. His record with Ryo Novata is a positive, yet the recent margins suggest a place is the more realistic target.

Kept on for sixth at Urawa last start, beaten just over five lengths after never getting close enough to threaten. The start prior at this track was similar in shape, settling handy and looking ready to improve before finishing fourth behind Stark. Still winless from eight starts and unplaced this season, she has to find a stronger finishing effort.

Finished last at Funabashi over 1200m last start, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds after never making ground. His previous tenth at this track was only marginally better, coming from well back without ever getting into the hunt. Returning to 1400m is a small plus given he has won at the trip, but recent form is well below the required mark.

Worked home well enough for fourth at Funabashi last start, beaten six and a half lengths behind Alpino, and now gets to the fourth run of the campaign. The prior sixth at this track was plain when he did not quicken, and he has since been beaten by Competitive and Riko Stechkina in relevant form. Two wins at this track and distance keep him in the place mix.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a sixth at this track, beaten just over eight lengths by Excel Black when settling rearward. The more attractive reference is the run prior, when third and beaten only half a length by Kimiwa Lemonade after being sent out short odds-on favourite. His track, distance and jockey records are strong enough to make him a serious fresh threat.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up in consistent form, having finished third at this track last start after holding a narrow lead and trying hard before being beaten just over six lengths. Her C3 fifth two back was also behind Narino Dream, so the margin pattern is a query, but four wins and six places from 23 starts at this track and distance give her a strong platform to bounce back.
