Kasamatsu Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
WIN VERTEX (3) won his maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when third over 1400m at this track. Among the leading chances. NIHONPIRO REACH (4) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m here. Has a good record at this course and distance, including five wins. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is a leading contender. HOME RUN BATTER (8) missed the frame when fifth last time out over 1600m here after a win at the previous outing. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Has the talent to take this out. FEEL MY WAY (2) missed the placings last time out over 1600m at this track. Prior to that had won two races on end. Form this track is hard to knock with two wins from six starts. Deserves respect.

Racing well recently. Most recently made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on February 5 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Maruyo Haruki carrying 57kg at $3.20. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on January 22 over 1400m, 4 len behind Sarasara Hair with 57kg at $8.50. Should be right in the finish.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 31-day let-up. Last start 4th of 9 at this track on February 2 over 1400m, 7 len behind Danse Du Vent carrying 55kg at $2.60. The start before that favourite; scored a big 6 len win at this track January 23 over 1400m defeating Port Tauranga with 56kg at $1.20. Expected to finish much closer.

Most recently ran last of 8 at this track on February 18 over 1600m, 19 len behind Double Black with 54kg at $194.20. The run before that ran last of 9 at this track on February 5 over 1600m, 40 len behind Vanellope carrying 54kg at $91.70. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

Recent form sound. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at this track on February 18 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Smart Tempest carrying 57kg at $10.50. The start before that 3rd of 9 at this track on February 5 over 1400m, 5 len behind Feel My Way with 57kg at $17.20. Can do a lot better than that last run.
