Kawasaki Race 4 - Race 4 - 1500
ARCHI FEATHER (5) Resuming. Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of 7L last run at Monbetsu and having second race start. Will be positive in the run early. Definite claims. REAL BLUES (3) Shot clear to win by 3L last time around here. Won't be far away during the run. One of the major players. ORIGIN (1) Resumes from a spell. Mediocre display when 6th last time at this track but has minimal work to do from the alley. Likely to get back. Sound chances. THE LAST CHADAL (6) First up. Was rock solid when winning by a margin of 5L last run at Urawa and was on debut last time. Has early speed and positions nicely. Consider an each way bet.

Returns from a three-month break after a plain sixth at this track, beaten over 13 lengths when conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The run prior was much better, as he beat Sea Story by a length and a half at this venue after lengthening strongly. That earlier win keeps him in the discussion for improvement, but he has to rebound sharply from the latest effort.

Was safely held when sixth at this track first-up, beaten eight lengths by Bluff Catch after racing in touch but failing to threaten. His debut win at this venue was strong, beating Ewald by five lengths after letting down quickly, so the raw ability is there. Second-up improvement would bring him into the minors, though he must show more than he did fresh.

Scored decisively at this track first-up, beating Ume Chauzo by three lengths as the short odds-on favourite after maintaining a clear margin. That was a strong response to a debut fourth behind Bluff Catch, and he now has one win from two starts at this venue. With Tsubasa Sasagawa aboard and a natural forward pattern, he profiles as a major winning chance again.

Has been out of form, most recently seventh at Urawa when unwanted in the market and beaten just over six lengths by Ken Sirius. He was also beaten over 18 lengths at this track the start prior after fading late. A previous win at this venue gives him some background credit, but his current form leaves him with a sizeable task.

Returns from a five-month break after making a big impression on debut at Mombetsu, where she beat A Shin Bliss by seven lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. That was her only start, so the winning strike-rate is perfect, and Takayuki Yano is a positive booking. The query is 1500m for the first time, but the debut win gives her a strong winning platform.

Returns from a four-month break after winning on debut at Urawa, where she beat Rice No Yume by five lengths in a small field and did it with plenty in hand. She carries only 52kg and keeps the winning rider, which helps her resuming profile. This is a deeper assignment than that first outing, but she has done nothing wrong and remains a sound place hope.

Was disappointing first-up at Urawa, finishing ninth and beaten over 11 lengths by Ken Sirius after making no headway from back in the field. His debut win at Urawa came in a four-runner race, beating Royal Friend by two lengths after leading. The winning rider returns, but he has to bridge a fair gap on the latest evidence to be more than a place chance.

Put the race away with authority at this track last start, beating Vivien Palace by five lengths after sprinting quickly when asked. That was a sharp rebound from a second-last finish here the run prior, and he now has a win from three starts at around 1500m. Race fit, reunited with the jockey who won on him and coming off the strongest recent performance, he is the horse to beat.

Was beaten over 16 lengths at this track first-up, finishing seventh behind Timbalitos after coming under pressure late. His previous run was similar, also beaten over 16 lengths behind Night Move when unable to make headway. He has won at this venue before, but the last two runs make it hard to build a strong case without a much sharper finish.

Was well beaten at this track last start when second last behind Timbalitos at big odds after settling rearward. She had won the start prior, beating Kiyoshi Konoyoru by four lengths in a small field, so there is some ability in the record. Even so, the latest performance was too poor to ignore and she has to rediscover that winning edge quickly.

Finished sixth at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Timbalitos after settling rearward and making no impression. The start prior was more encouraging, as he beat Oz by half a length here with a strong finish in the run home. A leading trainer is in his corner, but the latest defeat points to place claims rather than a clear winning case.

Was last at Urawa most recently, beaten over 14 lengths by Ken Sirius after conceding a huge start and never taking part. He had won there the run before, beating Asa Flowsion by a length and a half after finishing over the top of them. That win gives him an each-way thread, but the wide draw and poor latest run leave him relying on a rebound.
