Kawasaki Race 4

1400

Prize Money: $34,735

REAL BLUES (3) resumes as the runner to beat. He was only fourth on debut, beaten by Bluff Catch, but that came over this 1400m at this track and he was near the top of betting, so he owns the most relevant distance reference among the key chances. UME CHAUZO (1) was a well-supported favourite on debut over 900m and failed badly behind Mina Star, yet the market strength, inside draw and second-up profile give him scope to rebound if the first go at 1400m proves within reach. LIEN REGALIA (2) also comes through a 900m debut as favourite, but his late work was the more encouraging visual and makes him the safer place-style danger. EPONA CHANCE (5) is race fit and fourth-up after two fair finishes at this venue; she lacks the sharp turn of form of the first three but has enough exposed racing to be competitive for a minor placing.

Comments

Returns from a one-month freshening after a debut that the market expected far more from, starting a well-supported favourite over 900m at this track before finishing fifth behind Mina Star, never competitive and beaten out of sight. The first look at 1400m is the obvious unknown, but barrier one and a natural forward pattern give him the chance to show the ability expected first time out.

Comments

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing fifth on debut over 900m at this track, beaten seven lengths by Akeno Hime as favourite. He was still well back turning but finished off strongly, which gives him more substance than the bare result. The 1400m is new, so the win case is not watertight, but that closing work keeps him firmly in the place mix.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy five-month spell after debuting with a fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten nine and a half lengths by Bluff Catch after being near the top of betting. He has already seen this distance, and the inside-half draw with Tsubasa Sasagawa booked gives him a clean platform. With natural improvement from that first raceday experience, he sets the standard.

Comments

Back after five weeks on the sidelines and comes here third-up after a fourth at this track, beaten nine and a half lengths by Disposto when among the outsiders. Her debut seventh behind Snow Jewel was plain and she remains unplaced from two starts, but race fitness and a prior 1400m run give some grounding. She appeals more as a rough minor hope than a likely winner.

Comments

Back after five weeks since a fourth at this venue behind Up Up Up, where she was near the top of an open market but was only fair to the line and beaten over 12 lengths. The start prior was a fifth, beaten just over eight lengths by Siena Shangrila at long odds. Fourth-up and race fit, she has enough profile to press for a placing if she finds a sharper finish.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a debut fifth at this track behind Ganar Iroha, where he was unwanted in the market and never competitive, beaten out of sight. There was some late effort noted, but the official margin leaves little room for generosity. Second-up improvement is required before he becomes more than a long-shot hope.

Back after five weeks following a distant last at this track behind Sei Leger, when she settled handy but did not quicken and went around at long odds. The run prior was also heavy, beaten over 18 lengths by Allegro Vivace after being unwanted in betting. Five tries at this track and distance have produced no placing, so others read much better.

Returns from a four-month spell after leading on debut at this track behind Sun Balkan but fading to fifth, beaten over 19 lengths in a six-runner field. The market kept him near the top of an open race, and his half brother Great Pearl was a G3 winner, yet his own exposed form is thin. A major step forward is required to trouble the main chances.
