Michael brings top-tier speed but faces questions about the 1600m distance and a tough schedule.

Kasamatsu 1600m: Course Analysis

Layout & Pace

The start is a short 200m dash to the first corner, igniting intense early pace battles. Kasamatsu’s tight turns demand exceptional agility; pure straight-line speed is not enough. Navigating the 3rd to 4th corner without losing momentum is the key to victory.

The Distance Wall

For many 2-year-olds, 1600m is uncharted territory after a season of sprints. This “distance wall” often exposes stamina limitations. Analyzing pedigrees for distance aptitude is critical, as sprinter bloodlines are at high risk of fading in the final stretch.

Leading Horse Profiles

Moon Warrior

Colt, 2 years old | Jockey: Ryū Watanabe (56kg)

Main Candidate

Pedigree & Aptitude

Sire Best Warrior provides stamina, while dam’s sire Admire Moon adds speed. The 1600m distance is a major plus. A perfect blend for this course.

Recent Performance

Decisive 0.9s victory over Michael in his last race. Highly consistent record (2W, 4S, 0T) shows his reliability.

Michael

Filly, 2 years old | Jockey: Jun Mochizuki (55kg)

Top Challenger

Pedigree & Aptitude

Exceptional speed from sire Smart Falcon. Performance is dependent on her ability to set the pace and control the race from the front.

Concerns

Demanding race schedule (3 races in a short period) raises fatigue concerns. Vulnerable if pressured and unable to lead.

White Rabbit

Filly, 2 years old | Jockey: Masaru Maruno (55kg)

Potential Upset

Pedigree & Aptitude

A “golden cross” for dirt miles (American Patriot x Kurofune), possessing power, speed, and stamina. Has the highest potential to improve with the distance extension. Paired with a skilled jockey, she is a serious threat for an upset if the pace is hot.
