Kawasaki Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
SECRETO WEAPON (8) Game effort to win narrowly by a nose last run at this track and suited at this distance in the past. Shuuma Niihara has been successful before. Should be in the finish. QUALITY CHOCOLAT (4) Finished 5th last run at this track. Should bounce back and good career start. In a purple patch of form since resuming from a break. Must respect. HIDEGAMI TIARA (2) In the money when 3rd last run around here and will try to take advantage of the gate. Racing consistently this preparation. One of the major players. MANI SCENE (9) In the money when 2nd last start at this track. Capable of a running a place.

Was safely held at Urawa last start, settling rearward and finishing seventh, beaten just over six lengths, despite being near the top of an open market. The start prior was sound enough when fourth in a COND at Urawa, beaten just over three lengths, but she did not quicken. Barrier one helps her get a kinder run, though the winless record keeps her to a place assessment.

Continued her honest form when third in a COND at this track last start, working home evenly and finishing five lengths from Eclat Dot. She had earlier won a COND at Nagoya, beating Velocia by half a length after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. Proven at around 1400m and partnered by the top-ranked track jockey, she profiles as a solid each-way player.

Has been well held at her past two runs, finishing eighth at this track last start when unwanted in the market and beaten just over eight lengths by Gaura Thunder. Her Urawa seventh prior was also only fair at big odds. She has won at this track and distance, but one win from 41 starts overall says she must produce a clear form turnaround.

Looked below her best when fifth at this track last start, beaten six lengths by Tanto Label after travelling in touch and only working home fairly. The key is her run prior, when she won a COND here by a long way from Kyoei Art in a dominant display. With one win and one placing from three starts at this track and distance, she has the profile to bounce back strongly.

Resumed with a tenth at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths by Reiwa Epoch after racing prominently and coming under pressure late at long odds. She does have a track-and-distance win on the record, having beaten Affirmative by a neck in May, but that first-up run leaves her with plenty to repair. Second-up improvement is required before she can threaten the main chances.

Resumes after four months off following a campaign that ended with consecutive fifths at this track. He was beaten five and a half lengths by Vuelo Oscuras at his latest run before the break and was at big odds, having also conceded a huge start the run prior. A maiden after 14 starts and unplaced in ten track-and-distance attempts, he has a sizeable task fresh.

Resumes after five months off with stronger historical form than recent figures suggest, including eight wins and six placings from 30 starts overall. The issue is that she ended last campaign with a sixth and seventh at this track, beaten seven and a half lengths and just over eight lengths, and was unwanted at her latest run. Her 1400m record gives her some respect, but she must return sharper.

Resumed in winning style at this track, taking a C3 by a head from Luscious Ballad as a short odds-on favourite and showing enough determination to get the job done. His previous run was a third in the same grade, and the broader profile is very strong: three wins and two placings from six starts overall, plus two wins and one placing from four at this track and distance. He is a major threat again.

Closed off strongly into second at this track last start, beaten just under a length by My Bridge in a C3 after being sent out at long odds. That was a clear step forward from her sixth first-up, and she now gets to her third run this campaign with a deep 1400m base: four wins and four placings from 14 tries around the distance. The recent lift and proven trip record make her the one to beat.

Was not disgraced when fifth at Urawa last start, beaten just over five lengths by Thinking Fursa after settling rearward at generous odds. The run prior was much weaker, with a seventh there when beaten over 11 lengths. She remains winless from 18 starts, but seven placings overall and three distance placings give her enough grounding to chase a minor end of the prize.

Has struggled badly at his past two runs, finishing tenth at this track over 900m last start when beaten over 12 lengths and unwanted in the market. He was also eighth at Funabashi the start prior, beaten over 11 lengths after weakening late. The return to around 1400m is not a total negative given he has won at the trip, but recent form leaves him hard to support.

Backs up after 6 days following a better second at Funabashi over 1200m, where she tracked the leader and fought on before being beaten two and a half lengths at long odds. That was a notable lift on her Urawa eighth the start prior, but she now rises to 1400m, where she is unplaced from three attempts. Honest last-start effort puts her in the place mix, not the top winning tier.
