KASAMATSU   22 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Cosmo Memorable and Iks Clover. COSMO MEMORABLE (5) has the most reliable profile among the main chances, having justified short odds in a 3yo+ B6 here last start and bringing an excellent Kasamatsu 1400m record into this B1. Her third-up platform, course-and-distance strength and proven pairing with Kyoka Fukazawa make her the runner to beat. INTI PYRO (7) is the clear danger after putting four lengths on Embracement in a 3yo+ B4 here, and her two wins and two placings from five starts at this track and distance give that win substance, though her previous fourth shows she still has to hold that level. A SHIN TAVERNA (6) is hard to knock for consistency, coming off a two-length win after a string of placings, but this looks a deeper assignment than her latest 3yo+ B9C2 success. PUERTA AZUL (4) earned respect with a five-length 3yo+ B7 win and can run well again, although her earlier fifth over 1580m keeps the winning case just short of the top pair.

5YO  DK B  MARE 55.0KG

Worked home fairly when fourth over 1580m at Kasamatsu last start, beaten two lengths by With Philip after being among the outsiders. The start prior she was third here, beaten five lengths by Feel My Way at generous odds, so the recent form is honest rather than sharp. Proven at this track and distance, but she still needs a stronger finishing response to trouble the better-credentialled runners.

6YO  CHESTNUT  MARE 55.0KG

Went close at Kasamatsu last start, finishing third behind Vina Hoi An and beaten just over half a length as an outside chance in betting. That was a clear lift on her fifth to Feel My Way, where she had plenty to do yet kept working home. She has placed five times without winning in the past 12 months, which points more towards minor-money claims than a strong winning profile.

Lifted to win a 3yo+ B8 at Kasamatsu last start, beating Bijin Hakumei by just under a length after looming and fighting on. The concern is the run prior at Morioka Dirt, where she was ninth over 1600m and beaten over 13 lengths by Meisho Meisui after racing handy. That mixed form makes this a sterner test, and she must prove the latest win can carry into stronger company.

Azul Co. Ltd.
Put a decisive win on the board in a 3yo+ B7 here last start, beating Wilson Way by five lengths after letting down strongly. Her previous fifth to Hiruno Galicia over 1580m was much less convincing, so the task is to show that latest spike was no one-off. The record with Katsuto Maruno is encouraging from limited evidence, and she profiles as a solid place hope with upside if she backs it up.

Big Red Farm
Scored like the right horse at Kasamatsu last start, winning a 3yo+ B6 by three lengths from Double Black as the short odds-on favourite. She had earlier placed behind Convex in a 3yo+ B7 after doing some work, so the campaign has a strong base. Third-up now, with four wins and six places from eleven starts at this track and distance, she brings the strongest overall case.

Kept her consistent preparation rolling when winning a 3yo+ B9C2 at Kasamatsu last start, scoring by two lengths from Twin Ray after travelling into it strongly. Before that she was second to Nefer Asti in a 3yo+ C2, beaten three lengths but again holding her form. Her career place rate is excellent and Tsutsui Yusuke knows her well, though this asks for another lift to win.

Turned in one of the better recent wins in the field when taking a 3yo+ B4 at Kasamatsu by four lengths from Embracement, kicking strongly after holding control. The run before was plain enough when fourth to Satono Rush and beaten just over seven lengths, so she needs to keep the latest form intact. With two wins and two placings from five starts here at 1400m, she is a serious winning chance.

Finished fourth to Vina Hoi An at Kasamatsu last start, beaten a length and a half at generous odds, which was a more competitive effort than the market expected. She had also run fourth behind Feel My Way two back but was beaten six and a half lengths. Five wins at this track and distance keep her in the conversation, yet recent form says she needs another lift.

Led and kept finding to win a 3yo+ B8 at Kasamatsu last start, beating Salud Por Ti by a length and a half as a well-supported favourite. The start prior she was second to Sembi Toryo in a 3yo+ C1 after being run down late. She has winning form over this track and distance, but from the outside barrier and into this grade she has more to prove than the recent figures suggest.
