Kawasaki Race 11 - Kawasaki B1
INNER STEEL (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished 4 lengths away from the winner in second last start at this track over 1500m Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. ORWELL (5) resumes in a similar race to his last run 12 weeks ago when he scored by 2 lengths. Has found a suitable race. FALCON SWORD (2) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1500m at this track when he made late ground, beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. COPANO MIAMI (8) performed above expectations last time over 1500m at this track, getting the prize by half a length. A chance again based on that latest offering.
