Genuine tempo from Kajika Rise leading King Of World. KING OF WORLD (3) sets the standard after consecutive Kasamatsu seconds, each by a neck, and he has already won at this track and distance. The step to 1580m is still the point to settle, but his recent 1400m form reads the cleanest. MEINER WARRIOR (2) is the main danger after being beaten only half a length in 3yo+ A4B2 grade last start, and his broader 12-month record gives the profile depth, though this is his first try at the distance. AVENTURIER (6) is harder to trust for the win, having been unwanted in betting and winless across the past year, but he keeps finding minor money often enough to be a genuine place threat. KAJIKA RISE (5) has the track record to stay in the conversation, yet his last two runs have lacked finish, so he needs to turn market respect into a stronger final 200m.

SUPREME ARROW
MASAHARU FUJITA 5YO DK B HORSE 57.0KG La Mere Co. Ltd. Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing sixth in a 3yo+ A4B2 over 1400m at Kasamatsu, beaten three and a half lengths when near the top of betting. He was no winning hope there, although he did keep working, and his previous second to Feel My Way was better. The class drop and track-and-trip record help, but he still has to sharpen up considerably. |

MEINER WARRIOR
YUKIYASU KATO 5YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG Thoroughbred Club Ruffian Co. Ltd. Went very close in a 3yo+ A4B2 over 1400m at Kasamatsu last start, finishing second to Chateau Periotto by half a length after giving a bold sight. That was a clear lift on his fifth behind Chuwa Daio, when he worked home only fairly at generous odds. The 1580m is new, but the class drop, race fitness and solid recent record make him a serious winning chance. |

KING OF WORLD
YUYA GOTO 4YO BROWN HORSE 57.0KG Has put together two narrow seconds at Kasamatsu, beaten a neck by A Shin Yatagarasu last start after being pipped late and the same margin by Smart Tempest the run prior. Market support has been consistent, and he already has a win and a placing from five starts over this track and distance. Races handy enough to use barrier three, so this looks the right race to convert. |

CHIEN DE LUNE
YOSHIFUTO MIZUNO 6YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Hirokazu Tamai Worked home evenly for second behind Pinnesiri in a 3yo+ B3 at Kasamatsu last start, but the four-length margin and long odds keep that placing in perspective. She had been beaten eight and a half lengths the run prior after getting a long way back. A track-and-trip win sits in the profile, yet current form says she needs another lift to trouble the main chances. |

KAJIKA RISE
MASAHARU FUJITA 5YO BROWN HORSE 57.0KG Tetsuo Koshimura Led last start in a 3yo+ B2 over 1400m at Kasamatsu but was swamped late and finished sixth, beaten just under seven lengths as a well-regarded runner in betting. His previous fifth was also a fading effort after leading. Two wins and two placings from nine starts here keep him in the mix, but the rise to 1580m has to be treated as a real test. |
5 KATSUTO MARUNO |

AVENTURIER
HIDEO MORIYAMA 7YO CHESTNUT GELDING 57.0KG DMM Dream Club Co. Ltd. Finished fifth behind A Shin Yatagarasu in a 3yo+ B2 at Kasamatsu last start, beaten just under three lengths after being unwanted in the market and only fair late. The prior third looks less persuasive given he was beaten a long way. He has placed six times from 19 runs in the past 12 months without winning, so he profiles as a minor-money hope rather than a strong win play. |

INCROYABLE
KYOICHI ITO 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Made up ground when sixth behind Chuwa Daio over 1400m at Kasamatsu last start, beaten just over four lengths at generous odds. His previous second to Ken Wenzel was sound enough on paper, but he was beaten four lengths and only battled on. The two wins from four starts at this track and distance are the clear counterpoint, though recent form still leaves him with work to do. |
7 TATSUYA WATANABE |

HIRUNO BRISBANE
YUYA GOTO 4YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG Hiruno Co. Ltd. Returns from a three-month break after failing as a short odds-on favourite at Kasamatsu, finishing fifth to Feel My Way over 1400m and beaten just over three lengths. He had also been safely held behind Home Run Batter at the same trip. His overall record and perfect place strike at this track and distance are strong, but recent efforts give him a sizeable repair job. |

VEILED IMPACT
HIDEO MORIYAMA 4YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG Makio Okada Produced a much better fresh run when second to Chuwa Daio over 1400m at Kasamatsu, beaten a length and a half after finishing strongly and starting near the top of betting. That was a sharp contrast to his Niigata run over 2890m, where he was beaten out of sight. The extra trip is a query and he remains a maiden after 18 starts, but he has place claims again. |
