Race 5 1400m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo with Tureis leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. TUREIS (8) clearly sets the standard after putting together consecutive Kasamatsu wins, the latest a dominant success over this trip when she beat Lady Sofia by a long way as a short odds-on favourite. Her record here, at the distance and with Seigo Tsukamoto gives the form a strong, reliable shape. HOPE RAISING (1) appeals as the main danger, with a fourth to Topaz Tesoro last start backed by a good track-and-distance record and a strong association with Tsutsui Yusuke. OKANO STORM (7) is not as sharp a winning profile, but her last-start third behind Topaz Tesoro and proven Kasamatsu 1400m experience keep her in the conversation. HAYATENO OJO (3) must answer for an odds-on defeat last start, yet the market respect she commanded suggests she is capable of better than that plain finish.

HOPE RAISING
HIROSHI SASANO 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Masahito Miura Worked from a rearward position when fourth to Topaz Tesoro here last start, beaten just over eight lengths at generous odds. His previous second to Serval Mind was a long-margin defeat, but he has still built a solid Kasamatsu 1400m profile with one win and two places from four attempts. Tsutsui Yusuke is back aboard after three placings from as many rides, so he looks the most credible threat to the favourite. |

BEST ROMANCE
MASAYOSHI GOTO 3YO GREY FILLY 55.0KG Hisashi Shimada Faded late when seventh to L'Isle Joyeuse here last start and was well beaten after starting an outside chance in the betting. The run prior was better on paper, a third to Real Kenchan at long odds, though she still finished beaten just over eight lengths. Her place record at this track and trip gives minor support, but the maiden status and latest fade leave her needing a clear lift. |

HAYATENO OJO
YUKIYASU KATO 3YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Norio Sato Failed to justify short odds-on favouritism when fifth to Topaz Tesoro here last start, beaten over 13 lengths after giving very little in the run home. Two back she was tenth in a 3yo Maiden at Sapporo over 1800m, giving away a big start and never threatening. She also finished behind Hope Raising recently, so while the set-up can help, her winning case needs a sharper closing effort. |

SATULIA
YOICHI KURIMOTO 3YO BAY COLT 55.0KG NH Racing Finished a distant last behind Topaz Tesoro here last start and was unwanted in the market, so that run is hard to recommend. The start prior was more competitive without being strong, finishing fifth to Real Kenchan and beaten just under ten lengths. He has won with Kyoka Fukazawa before, but being unplaced in seven starts at this track and distance keeps him to a minor-money chance only. |

AIO AILE
YUKIYASU KATO 3YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Had the job ahead and could not close off when sixth to Real Kenchan here last start, beaten over 19 lengths and unwanted in the market. She had also been beaten over 14 lengths behind Kasanaru Kiseki at her previous run after settling rearward. The broader record of two wins from 20 starts is respectable enough, but her Kasamatsu 1400m form says others have stronger claims. |

BELLAGIO MARCUS
YUYA GOTO 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG BELLAGIO RACING Tailed off behind L'Isle Joyeuse here last start after settling rearward and giving further ground in a weak run to the line. That followed another last, beaten over 19 lengths by Real Kenchan, so the current form is plain despite being third-up. He has placed four times at the distance, but two unplaced Kasamatsu runs and poor recent finishes make this a tough assignment. |
6 MYOJO HARU DAI |

OKANO STORM
KYOICHI ITO 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Improved into third behind Topaz Tesoro here last start, beaten eight lengths at big odds after working home evenly. The run before was only moderate when fifth to Asakusa Diana, but she has a genuine bank of Kasamatsu 1400m experience with one win and four places from 21 attempts. Having beaten Hope Raising in that latest meeting adds interest, though she still profiles more as a placing chance than a dominant winner. |

TUREIS
MASAHARU FUJITA 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Normandy Thoroughbred Racing Co. Ltd. Made it two straight wins here when scoring by a long way over 1400m last start, beating Lady Sofia after travelling close enough and letting down with plenty in hand. That followed a four-length win over Elmy, so the recent pattern is decisive rather than flattering. She is two from two at Kasamatsu, two from three at the distance and unbeaten with Seigo Tsukamoto, making her the clear horse to beat again. |
