Kawasaki Race 10 - Kawasaki
I'LL PROTECT (9) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing a neck from the winner in second last time over 1200m at Funabashi. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and three minor placings from six starts. A bold showing is likely. KANNON ANIMO (6) is a eight-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, beaten 1.5 lengths into second last time out over 900m at this track. Sure to figure prominently. GRAND FREUDE (8) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only eighth over 900m at this track. Form at this track is solid. Strong claims on his best form. POD LEO (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1200m at Funabashi. Solid top-three candidate.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently did the work up front then tired 8th of 12 at this track on May 14 over 900m, 6 len behind Pink Towel Chan carrying 51kg at $7.40. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 12 at this track on April 6 over 900m, 0.5 len behind Bargello carrying 55kg at $3. Can do much better.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 9 at Funabashi on June 1 over 1200m, neck behind Bitcoin with 56kg at $2.40. The run before that favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track May 13 over 900m defeating Kannon Animo carrying 56kg at $10.80. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation eighth of 11 at this track October 16 over 900m, 5.5 len behind Makaze with 57kg at $85.80. First up last campaign seventh of 11 at this track September 10 over 900m, 6 len behind Makaze with 54kg at $41.50. Doesn't appeal.
