Kawasaki Race 8 - Race 8 - 2000
SHINTO HANANO RAN (2) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track over 2000m. Looks all set to grab that well-deserved win. TAVANESTAN (3) was never in contention last time over 1500m at this track when he finished seventh, beaten 2.75 lengths. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. KANNAGI (4) missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 2000m at this track, finishing seventh. Has her share of ability and finds a suitable race. RIN TEN RYU (9) drifted well back from the inside draw last time before winding up strongly and finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Outdashed but got home well and looks suited by the extra ground. Well placed and is among the chances.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 7 at this track on July 6 over 1400m, 3 len behind Heavenly Goal carrying 54kg at $34.30. The start before that 4th of 10 at Urawa on June 26 over 2000m, 6 len behind An Pato carrying 56kg at $7.70. Should go well in this line up.
