Kawasaki Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
BACKBEAT (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by one length last time out over 1400m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. ELEPHANT RUN (1) started this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SKY BLUE (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1200m at Niigata, beaten 4.5 lengths into 12th. Has the class to take this out. REGNO (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 16 when beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth at this track over 1500m. In the right race and should be competitive.

Returns from a 45-day let-up. Most recently 12th of 16 at Niigata on May 24 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Say Please with 55.0kg at $16.80. The race before that raced on the pace before fading 13th of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on April 4 over 1200m, 10 len behind Meisho Gold carrying 58.0kg at $20.90. Can make amends.
