Kawasaki Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400

CARDAMOM ROLL (13) First up from a break of 26 weeks. Good win by 2 1/2L last start around here and proven performer at this trip in the past. Will be around the mark at odds. ENGEL LIED (6) Tidy run when 3rd last time at the track. Tsubasa Sasagawa and Naoyuki Akiyama are consistently competitive when paired. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Worth strong consideration. AOI HANAMICHI (1) Ran 8th last start at the track but can save some energy from the draw. Expecting to settle positively. Has the ability to figure. BARGELLO (2) Close up last start at this track and gets a favourable draw. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Was beaten just over two lengths when eighth as favourite in an open market at this track last start, having settled further back than ideal. The start prior was much stronger, winning a C1 at this venue by a length from Smile Thrive after travelling handy and letting down well. Three wins from four starts at this track and distance, plus Niihara Shuma's strong record aboard her, make her a serious winning chance.

Produced the right return when second at this track last start, beaten a neck by Erin Flame after looming up and fighting hard. That run reads well against several of these, with I'll Protect and Aoi Hanamichi behind him. He is yet to win at this track and distance but has placed twice from four attempts, and his record with Naoki Machida is a major asset. Second-up, he sets a strong standard.

Has been well held in both runs this campaign, finishing second last at this track last start when beaten over 11 lengths after settling a long way back. The start prior was much the same, 11th and beaten over 11 lengths behind Live Driver. He does have two wins and three placings from ten starts at this track and distance, but current form leaves him with a lot to turn around.

Worked home respectably from a long way back when ninth at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths by Erin Flame, but he was never a winning threat. His previous run was much plainer, eighth and beaten over 11 lengths behind Backbeat. A past win at this track and distance keeps him in minor calculations, though he appeals more as a place hope than a likely winner.

Was unable to make an impression when 11th at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Erin Flame at long odds. The run prior at Urawa was better, closing into third behind Brave Ruler when beaten just under two lengths. She has won at this track and distance and Hiroto Ito has a placing-heavy record on her, but she must lift sharply on the latest effort.

Closed off strongly for third in a C1 over 1600m at this track last start, beaten just over a length by Logi Kiseki and well respected in an open market. The return to 1400m suits on her record, with one win and two placings from four starts around the trip. She is also yet to miss a place in six starts at this venue, so she has a genuine each-way profile.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing tenth over 900m at this track, beaten over 11 lengths when unable to make any ground from the rear. Her previous run was also safely held, sixth and beaten just over seven lengths behind Kurino William. She has won twice at this venue and placed at her only try around 1400m, but recent form is well short of the main hopes.

Backs up after one week following a seventh at Funabashi in B2B3 grade, beaten six lengths after sitting close enough but lacking the dash to compete. The start prior at this track was disappointing, finishing second last and beaten over 12 lengths after being near the top of betting. She is unplaced from her only previous attempt around 1400m, so the setup comes with clear queries.

Was a beaten odds-on favourite at this track last start, finishing ninth and beaten just under six lengths by Toma with no clear excuse. The run prior was much better, winning by a head from Peter Rise at generous odds after finishing strongly. He has two wins around 1400m and a win from two starts at this venue, but he has to rebound before being treated as more than an each-way chance.

Hit the line well for third at this track last start, beaten half a length by Erin Flame at long odds, and that effort puts her among the realistic place chances. The concern is the run prior, when she was sixth behind Pepper Mill and beaten just over nine lengths. Her broader track-and-distance record is solid, with three wins and seven placings from 23 starts, so another honest showing is within reach.

Worked home evenly for fifth at this track last start, beaten a length by Erin Flame at big odds, and that was a clear step back in the right direction after finishing last over 900m the run prior. The return to this 1400m scenario is important, as he has three wins and one placing from six starts at the track and distance. With the winning rider back, he has a strong chance to press the main hopes.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing fifth over 900m at this track, beaten six and a half lengths when making some late ground from well back. Her start prior was a fifth in a Mdn at Niigata Dirt, beaten three lengths after being only fair to the line. She remains winless after 15 starts and is unplaced from two attempts around 1400m, so she has a difficult task.

Resumes from an eight-month break after ending last campaign with a sharp COND win at this track, beating Dare To Know by two and a half lengths after putting the race away quickly. She had earlier run fourth at Urawa, beaten just over three lengths, and her overall record is strong for a lightly raced filly. Two wins and two placings from four starts at this track and distance make her a genuine chance fresh.
