|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo with Wisteria Bell to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. EMBRACEMENT (9) holds the narrow call after resuming with a sound second in 3yo+ B4 company at Kasamatsu, beaten four lengths by Inti Pyro, and her broader season record gives the profile real substance. COSMO FINESSE (1) is the immediate danger, arriving off a two-length 3yo+ C1 win over 1580m here and bringing proven track-and-distance credentials back to 1400m. CONVEX (8) has to be assessed on more than her last-start B1 failure, as she had won three straight before that and beat Plumes De L'Ange two runs back. HIRUNO GALICIA (7) is the value-type inclusion among the main hopes: his latest sixth in 3yo+ B1 company was only fair, but the prior head win over 1580m at Kasamatsu and an excellent record at this track and distance keep him in the argument. The race looks centred on those four, with Embracement bringing the most reliable recent-season profile and Cosmo Finesse the sharper last-start winning form.

COSMO FINESSE
TAKASHI SHIBATA 4YO GREY FILLY 53.0KG Big Red Farm Comes through a decisive 3yo+ C1 win over 1580m at Kasamatsu, scoring by two lengths from Twin Ray after being near the top of betting. She had also placed here the start prior, though Pep Talk had her beaten six and a half lengths. Back to 1400m, the two wins and five placings from 22 starts at this track and distance give her a strong platform to challenge the top selection. |

DOUBLE BLACK
MASAHARU FUJITA 5YO BROWN HORSE 56.0KG Takao Kawauchi Worked home strongly into third behind Chuwa Ace at Kasamatsu last start, beaten six lengths at generous odds, and that followed a second in 3yo+ B6 company when he was beaten three lengths by Cosmo Memorable. He tends to settle rearward, so he does need the race to bring him into it, but the recent pattern says he can run into the minor money again. |

LEUK PIONE
KATSUYOSHI ITO 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Dearest Club Co. Ltd. Returns after two months away following a plain ninth in 3yo+ B1 at Nagoya, beaten over 13 lengths by Stapes Shoma after settling back and making no late impression. The prior 3yo+ C4 win over Bellagio Channel showed she can finish over the top when placed right, but this first look at Kasamatsu asks for a clear rebound. |
3 KAZUKI AKATSU |

PLUMES DE L'ANGE
YUYA GOTO 6YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Makio Okada Honest mare who closed into third in 3yo+ B3 company here last start, although the eight-length margin behind Pinnesiri keeps the win case in check. Her previous second to Convex in 3yo+ B7 was much stronger, beaten only half a length, and her overall record of nine wins and seven placings from 24 starts gives her genuine minor-money appeal. |
4 SEIGO TSUKAMOTO |

FROZEN KISS
YOSHIFUTO MIZUNO 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Recent form is hard to endorse, with a second-last over 1580m here last start in 3yo+ B4, beaten over 12 lengths by Milky Princess after conceding a huge start. She was also safely held the run prior behind Ken Wenzel. A 1400m track-and-distance record of one win and three placings from six starts helps, but only if she jumps into the race far earlier. |
5 TAKAYUKI MORISHIMA |

RED SWING
HIDEO MORIYAMA 5YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Tokyo Horse Racing Co. Ltd. Improved into second behind Chuwa Ace at Kasamatsu last start, but was beaten five lengths and unwanted in the market, so the result needs some perspective. The start prior was a last-place finish, beaten over 11 lengths by Satono Rush at long odds. He is fit and has some local grounding, yet he must turn a fair placing into something stronger. |
6 HIROSHI OHARA |

HIRUNO GALICIA
YUYA GOTO 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Hiruno Co. Ltd. Had excuses hard to find when sixth in 3yo+ B1 here last time, beaten five and a half lengths by Vina Hoi An. His previous 1580m win in 3yo+ B7, when he held off Satono Rush by a head, is a better guide, and he also beat Convex at Kasamatsu recently. With three wins and six placings from eleven at this track and distance, he is a sound place chance. |
7 MYOJO HARU DAI |
|
| 8 | 21118 |
CONVEX
YUKIYASU KATO 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Turf Sport Co. Ltd. Well held in 3yo+ B1 company last start, finishing second last and beaten just over six lengths by Vina Hoi An despite being near the top of an open market. The form before that was far stronger, winning 3yo+ B7 over Plumes De L'Ange, and four wins with six placings from 17 at this track and distance make her a genuine winning threat if she recaptures that run. |

EMBRACEMENT
MASAYOSHI GOTO 4YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Yukihiro Moroe Resumed with a solid second in 3yo+ B4 company here, beaten four lengths by Inti Pyro after having the job ahead and closing into the money. She won 3yo+ C1 at Kasamatsu before the break, beating Malie by a length and a half at generous odds, and her season record reads strongly. Second-up, she has the right profile to be the runner they have to beat. |

ARMA HECTOR
HIDEO MORIYAMA 11YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG Koutomic Racing Battled away for fifth in 3yo+ B4 here last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Inti Pyro at big odds, and Embracement was ahead of him in that race. He had also finished fifth over 1580m behind Milky Princess, beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds. The veteran has vast experience, but recent margins leave him needing a clear lift. |

WISTERIA BELL
KYOICHI ITO 4YO BROWN FILLY 55.0KG Takefumi Okada Led but was overrun badly when last behind Chuwa Ace at Kasamatsu, beaten over 13 lengths despite being near the top of betting. The prior 1580m win over Carthusian showed she can be effective when allowed to control things, and her career place rate is sound. Even so, she must sustain her effort much better to make this more than an outside chance. |
