Kawasaki Race 2 - Race 2 - 900
MIKRI AGEHA (3) 2yo first starter by Orfevre for Naoyuki Akiyama. Tsubasa Sasagawa is a key booking. Keep your eye on the market. YUTA KOHA (7) 2yo debutant by Mozu Ascot for Shouichi Hirata. Watch the market. PHILEAS (1) Career debut 2yo by Nishiken Mononofu for trainer Juichi Tajima and gets a favourable draw. Respect the betting. MARUSAN SIXTY (4) Matera Sky 2yo trained by Yuuya Yamazaki having first start. Watch the market.

Makes her debut from barrier 1 for Juichi Tajima, whose supplied debut record shows 3 placings from 6 starters. By Nishiken Mononofu out of Grace Kiss, she has a family with winners behind it, including Grand Gift with 8 wins and Samurai Legend with 5. The inside draw is a genuine practical advantage, and her profile gives her a solid winning case.

Debuts with only 52kg and barrier 2, which gives this filly a neat starting point over 900m. Hiromi Yamazaki has 1 win and 7 placings from 16 supplied debut runners, while the Hokko Tarumae combination has produced 16 placings from 56 starts. That points to a genuine place profile rather than a runner to declare over the top two.

Makes her debut with Tsubasa Sasagawa aboard, and that is a significant booking given he is one of the leading riders at this track. Naoyuki Akiyama has 1 win from 3 supplied debut runners, and the family line is encouraging, with Ageha Shinwa winning on debut at this track for the same stable. She brings the best overall debut profile and rates the one to beat.

Starts out for Yuya Yamazaki, whose debut record of 6 wins and 15 placings from 23 supplied runners is a clear positive. The Matera Sky combination is also sound, with 2 wins from 8, and the family includes Silver Rider and Mr Kic as winners. Even so, he sits behind the main debut profiles and has to produce above the market pecking order to threaten.

Begins from barrier 5 for the Yuya Yamazaki stable, which has useful supplied debut figures of 6 wins and 15 placings from 23 starters. By Happy Sprint out of Coral Tsukki, he has the same stable platform as Marusan Sixty but less pedigree performance detail to lean on. He will have to show plenty first time out to trouble the leading chances.

Opens his career for Seiichi Kato, whose supplied debut record is striking at 7 wins from 12 starters. The Smart Falcon pairing has also produced 2 wins from 8, so there are stable indicators to note. On the assessed order he still sits outside the main chances, and he has to translate those figures into race-day performance immediately.

Debuts for Shoichi Hirata with Naoki Machida taking the ride, and Machida's standing at this track adds some substance. The stable's supplied debut figures show 2 placings from 9, with the Mozu Ascot combination placing 3 times from 10. Barrier 7 is not ideal, but she has enough in the rider and profile to be considered for the minors.

Debuts from the outside barrier for Sunao Yamada, who has 1 win and 5 placings from 10 supplied debut runners. There is a useful family pointer through Auftakt, who was fourth on debut over 900m at this track and has won 2 races. The draw makes the task more awkward, and she shapes as a runner who may require the experience.
