Kawasaki Race 8 - Race 8 - 900
MONGE SPY (9) Tidy run when 2nd last start at this venue and strong form at this trip. Takayuki Yano is a key booking. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Strong claims. ELGAR (11) Ran well when 3rd last time at the track. Well placed and has solid claims. TATSUNO KING O (8) Backing up quickly. Came in 5th last run at Funabashi and dropping in distance. Not without claims. RAVOMI (6) Unsatisfactory performance when 10th last start at this track. Kenji Okamura rates highly aboard. Chance.

Back after four months off, having ended last campaign with a ninth in a B2B3 at this track, beaten nine and a half lengths by Eternal Savior after settling midfield and failing to come on. His earlier eighth in B1B2 company was also safely held. Seven wins from 19 starts at this track and distance demand respect, but recent form leaves him with plenty to restore.

Went close at Funabashi last start, working home evenly for second in a B2B3 and beaten just under a length as favourite. The start prior at Ohi was poor, but this is a kinder set-up and the quick back-up suits. He has placed five times from six runs at this track and distance without winning, so the record is more reliable than brilliant, but he brings the strongest recent substance and is the one to beat.

Returns off a one-month gap after finishing seventh at this track, beaten just under seven lengths when close enough on the turn but unable to quicken. That followed a second-last at Funabashi where he was beaten over 20 lengths. His track and distance record offers some encouragement, and Ryo Novata is strong at this venue, but the current form line makes him hard to recommend.

Was never in the picture when ninth at this track last start over 1400m, beaten over 10 lengths by Sumeragi at big odds. Her Sapporo run before that was also plain, finishing tenth in an ALLOW when unwanted in the market. The first try around 900m is a genuine question, but the stable has standing at this track and she can sneak into the placings if the shorter trip sparks improvement.

Returns off a one-month gap after a disappointing second-last at this track in COND grade, beaten just over eight lengths by Freedom when making no impression from back in the field. The run prior was much better, winning here by two and a half lengths from Buffalo Rise. Her overall record is strong, and Kenji Okamura has an excellent record aboard her, but she is more an each-way fringe chance after that latest effort.

Returns off a one-month break after finishing second last at this track, beaten over 10 lengths by La La Avril at long odds and unable to make any impression from the rear. Her Funabashi sixth beforehand was more competitive, but she was still never in the hunt. Unplaced in all seven starts in the past 12 months and winless from three attempts around 900m, she has a significant task.

Came up short at Funabashi last week when fifth over 1200m, beaten six and a half lengths after being swamped in the run home despite being near the top of betting. His previous fourth at this track was sound enough, and his broader record of four wins and five places from 14 starts gives him a stronger winning profile than most. The quick turnaround is the query, but his overall form keeps him right in this.

Returns off a one-month gap after a strong first-up second at this track, beaten two lengths by La La Avril after leading to the turn. His record at this track and distance is outstanding, with three wins and three placings from six starts, and Takayuki Yano has won three times on him. Second-up now and drawn to use his natural speed, he has the right credentials to fight this out.

Finished seventh at Funabashi last week in a B2B3, beaten eight and a half lengths by Mille Fleurs after settling rearward and making no impression. His previous run was worse, finishing last over 1200m and well held after giving away a big start. Twelve career wins show his past quality, but current form and one placing from 13 tries around 900m make this a tough assignment.

Returns off a one-month break after finishing third in a B3 at this track, beaten five lengths by Kura Reve as favourite after leaving herself too much to do. She had charged home to win a B2B3 at Urawa the start prior, beating Daimei Tamana by a length. Her 900m record is tidy and she has also beaten Tsutsu Uraura recently, so she profiles as a legitimate place hope with upside.
