Race 1 1400m Track: SOFT True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine pace with Tosen Memoria taking up the running ahead of Blue Radical and Gomez. GOMEZ (7) is the clear starting point after a four-length Kawasaki win as a well-supported favourite, and she maps to stay within striking range again. BLUE RADICAL (11) has the right recent profile to test her, but he was beaten six lengths by Gomez at Kawasaki three weeks ago and needs to turn that form around from a wide draw. TOSEN MEMORIA (8) resumes off a narrow Urawa second and brings a strong overall record, with her likely early speed important to the shape of the race. LUSCIOUS BALLAD (2) also resumes and has placed at the track and trip, though the maiden record keeps the confidence measured. NONSTOP GIRL (5) is harder to recommend on the win after a heavy defeat, but her broader place record keeps her in the minor mix.

DANCING HAPPILY
KAZUMI TAKEI 6YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Mill Farm Co. Ltd. Worked home evenly when ninth at Kawasaki last start, beaten eight lengths by Narino Dream after starting at big odds. The run prior was more competitive, finishing fifth behind Siena Titicaca and beaten just under three lengths, though she still failed to threaten. A track-and-trip win sits in the background, but her recent 12-month record leaves her needing a clear lift. |

LUSCIOUS BALLAD
SATOSHI KODA 4YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a three-month break after closing the last campaign with a second at Kawasaki, beaten four lengths by Queen's Kayanohime after settling rearward and being respected in an open market. That was a better effort than her previous seventh on good ground, where she was safely held at long odds. Still a maiden after 17 starts, but the inside draw and distance placings keep her among the main hopes. |

Satoru Furusawa 5YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Yuta Onodera Settled handy but offered little when tenth at Kawasaki last start, beaten over 16 lengths by My Bridge at long odds. Two back she made some ground for fifth behind Uptown Girl, though still beaten six and a half lengths. The past track-and-trip win and class drop give some context, but her current form has too many holes to recommend strongly. |

JO KAI
MASAYOSHI YAGI 8YO GREY MARE 52.0KG Finished last over 900m at Kawasaki last start, beaten seven lengths by Tanoshisa after settling rearward and conceding too much start. Her previous run was also plain when second last behind Siena Titicaca, beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. The return to 1400m and light weight suit better, but recent performances make her hard to promote beyond a rough place scenario. |

NONSTOP GIRL
KAZUMI TAKEI 6YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Was second last at Kawasaki most recently, beaten over 20 lengths by My Bridge after settling a long way back and failing to improve. That followed a seventh behind Siena Titicaca when sent out favourite, so the market had expected better than she delivered. Her overall place record is respectable and the class drop helps, but she looks more a minor-money hope than a win play. |

MISSILE BISCUITS
TERUKAZU IMAI 6YO CHESTNUT MARE 54.0KG Shota Matsuya Returns from a two-month break after finishing eighth at Kawasaki, beaten over 10 lengths by Uptown Girl, though she did work home fairly from a hopeless position. Her Urawa run before that was no better than sixth over 2000m when favourite and unable to quicken. A past Kawasaki 1400m win is relevant, but current form still asks for improvement. |

GOMEZ
H SASAKI 4YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Hiroshi Hatasa Strode away to win by four lengths at Kawasaki last start, beating Pure Lien after travelling like the winner, and the market had her as a well-supported favourite. That also gave her the recent head-to-head edge over Blue Radical. Her previous sixth was a major failure, but she is now third-up, proven at the track and trip, and has the right on-pace pattern to take beating again. |

TOSEN MEMORIA
SATOSHI KOKUBO 6YO GREY MARE 52.0KG Returns from a five-month break after a narrow Urawa second, beaten a neck by Mush Bright after being run down late while prominent in betting. Her earlier Kawasaki run was weaker, fading out after leading and finishing seventh behind Uptown Girl. The strong career strike-rate and light weight are positives, but she needs to bring the Urawa version first-up. |

LADY HANAKO
YOICHI TANABE 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a three-month break after finishing eighth at Kawasaki, beaten over 11 lengths by Riko Stechkina when giving away a huge start. The run prior was another rearward effort, ninth behind the same winner and unwanted in the market. With no wins from 14 starts and little recent impact, she needs a much sharper race shape and finish. |
9 YUKI FURUOKA |

KURUME MITCHI
YOICHI TANABE 6YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Kunihisa Motogi Settled well back and never looked likely when ninth at Kawasaki last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Velos after being unwanted in the market. Two back he was sixth behind Schweigen, again from a rearward position. His Kawasaki 1400m record is the saving grace, but he must settle closer or produce a far stronger finish to be a factor. |

BLUE RADICAL
KENICHI TAKATSUKI 4YO GREY HORSE 56.0KG Jingyi Xiao Placed first-up at Kawasaki when third behind Gomez, beaten six lengths after being close enough to win if good enough. That form leaves him with a clear task to reverse the result, but he has won three times in the past 12 months and the 1400m looks suitable. From the wide draw he needs early control, yet his overall profile keeps him a genuine danger. |

ANGELA CAFE
MASAMI YAMADA 7YO DK B MARE 54.0KG Kyoko Nishikawa Picked up nicely late when fifth at Kawasaki last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Gomez at big odds. She had also worked home fairly without threatening two back behind Schweigen, so the pattern is honest enough for lower exotics rather than a strong winning case. A track-and-trip win is useful, but she still has ground to make up on Gomez and Blue Radical. |
