Kawasaki Race 9 - Kawasaki C2
NISHINO YOUNG MAN (1) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Comes here with definite claims. ZENDAN TOMONI (9) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 4 lengths victory over 1400m at this track five weeks ago. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. MASSE D'AMOUR (3) finished fifth over 1500m at this track at her most recent appearance on February 2. Makes plenty of appeal. STRONGEST (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Urawa, finishing second and only one length from the winner at the end of 1400m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
