Kawasaki Race 5 - Race 5 - 2000
TAVANESTAN (11) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SMILE FELIZ (7) was well fancied last start over 2000m at this track when third, beaten 11 lengths. Can bounce back. MISTRA (1) finished second at this track and distance at his last appearance nine weeks ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. WATZMANN (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Well placed to play a part again.
