JP - Kawasaki - Race 3

KUMASAN FAMILY (7) has the best current race shape on form, with a third at this track last start after being beaten five lengths by Shanghai Honey and stronger local stable-and-rider support than most of these. She has placed two times from four starts at this venue and looks the most reliable winning option despite not putting them away last time. SASAKIN TOSA (8) resumes after four months and has a stronger career profile than his latest two Kanazawa efforts suggest, with one win and one place from four starts and a previous win at around 7 ½f. IVY FREYJA (4) brings consistency fresh, having placed at both starts before the break, including a length-and-a-half third at this track when she worked into the race nicely. COSMO NEUJAHR (2) has been fourth at both recent runs here, was beaten just under three lengths last start, and has the race fitness to hold a genuine place chance if he can find a little more at the end.
