Race 8 1400m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Ryusei Kotei and Tsukino Kobune look to take it up. RYUSEI KOTEI (4) is the horse to beat despite a plain sixth at Kasamatsu last start, as he is third-up now and backed by the strongest stable and rider profile in the race. The maiden record is the obvious reservation, but this looks a suitable chance to improve. OGARU (3) brings the better overall record, with two wins and seven placings from 15 starts, and his Mombetsu form over 1000m reads better than the latest margin suggests. The rise to 1400m is the key test. TSUKINO KOBUNE (5) has stronger Kasamatsu 1400m credentials than most, including a win and three placings from seven attempts, and he has already finished ahead of Ryusei Kotei recently. HYPER CALL (6) is another proven track-and-trip runner and comes through a last-start placing, though he still needs to find more than he showed when beaten over 11 lengths.

SUCCESS BREAK
KYOICHI ITO 3YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Recent form leaves her with a fair bit to find, finishing eighth in a 3yo+ C2 at Sonoda last start when beaten over 12 lengths by Bellagio Rao after settling rearward. The run prior was no better, beaten over 16 lengths by Lady Pegasus and unwanted in the market. She has won at this distance, but current form says others are entitled to stronger support. |

LUCKY TRIGGER
YUYA GOTO 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Has track-and-distance place form in her corner, with three placings from six attempts over this course and trip, but the recent efforts are only fair. She was eighth here last start, beaten just over eight lengths by Picasso Jasper, after never getting into the race. Two back she was beaten over 12 lengths over 1580m. Capable of filling a minor spot if she lifts. |

OGARU
YOSHINAGA OHASHI 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing eighth in a 3yo+ C3 over 1000m at Mombetsu, beaten just over nine lengths by You Can Fly after settling well back. His previous sixth to Atonimo Sakinimo was more competitive, beaten three and a half lengths when near the top of betting. The move to 1400m is the query, but his overall record gives him genuine winning claims. |

RYUSEI KOTEI
HIROSHI SASANO 3YO GREY COLT 57.0KG Big Red Farm Third-up profile gives him scope to improve, though the latest run at Kasamatsu was plain, finishing sixth and beaten over 19 lengths by Kuriko Falcon at big odds. He had earlier run eighth in a 3yo Maiden over 1000m at Niigata, beaten just over six lengths after keeping on from well back. The maiden record is a concern, but this stable-and-rider pairing keeps him firmly in play. |

TSUKINO KOBUNE
HIDEO MORIYAMA 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Nobuo Egawa Put in another honest Kasamatsu effort when fourth to Kuriko Falcon last start, beaten over 14 lengths after making late ground from a hopeless position. His second to Serval Mind over 1580m the run prior reads soundly, and he has a win and three placings from seven at this track and distance. He recently finished ahead of Ryusei Kotei, so the place profile is solid. |

HYPER CALL
T TAGUCHI 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Placed at Kasamatsu last start, finishing third to L'Isle Joyeuse, but was still beaten over 11 lengths and could not quicken when required. That was a clear improvement on his previous seventh to Tsumamigui, when beaten over 18 lengths and unwanted in the market. A strong record with Tsutsui Yusuke and proven track-and-trip form keep him in the minor-money mix. |

WHITI TE RA
MASAYOSHI GOTO 3YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Yasuyoshi Hirukawa Latest effort is hard to recommend, finishing last at Kasamatsu behind Picasso Jasper and tailed off at long odds. The start prior was also poor, as she raced just off the leaders before dropping out and finishing well held behind Tsumamigui. Her track-and-distance record is genuinely good, but recent form must improve sharply before she appeals. |

RUBELLITE TESORO
MASAHARU FUJITA 3YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Ryotokuji Kenji Holdings Co. Ltd. Comes back from 1580m after finishing fifth to Serval Mind at Kasamatsu, beaten over 20 lengths after giving away too much start. Her previous sixth to Nefer Asti had more merit, as she kept working despite being well back. One win from three at this track and distance and a good record with Seigo Tsukamoto are positives, but she still has improvement to find. |
