Kawasaki Race 11 - Kawasaki A2
PRIMO PYTHON (3) returns from a layoff of six months. Scored over 900m at this track to launch the last campaign. Comes here with definite claims. JOYFUL ROCK (5) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage seventh over 1200m at Funabashi. Among the leading chances. ECORO NEO (6) did his best work late and finished third last time over 900m at this track, beaten 1.2 lengths. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. MAKAZE (1) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by a head at today's track and distance last start in a nice progression the first-up effort. Likely to be there at the finish again.

At the latest run did the work up front then tired 7th of 10 at Funabashi on July 4 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Bright Flash with 56kg at $2.70. The race before that led to the turn then faded 5th of 10 at Funabashi on June 5 over 1000m, 4 len behind Zeus Bisty with 55kg at $3.10. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
