Kawasaki Race 10 - Race 10 - 2000
DEFINITIVO (2) is back at the races for the first time since May 15. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 2000m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race. RAFALE D'OR (3) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. TUPI (5) was well fancied when resuming last start over 2000m at Ohi when third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Will strip fitter and can atone. LILABAD (8) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by 1.5 lengths over 2200m at Funabashi last start. Has never been out of the placings in four starts at this journey and cannot be underestimated.

First up last campaign third of 10 at this track March 2 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Viv Air with 57kg at $4. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading.

Comes off a 42 day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 0.5 len at this track on July 30 over 2000m defeating Lilabad carrying 57kg at $2.40. The run before that 12th of 16 at Tokyo Dirt on May 30 over 2100m, 17 len behind Taisei Kaiser with 58.0kg at $39.80. Big chance to go back-to-back.

Most recently struggled in the run home; 10th of 12 at Funabashi on August 28 over 2200m, 22 len behind Sehr Schnell carrying 55kg at $15. The race before that won by 4 len at Urawa on July 15 over 2000m defeating Lysine with 57kg at $3.80. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

At the latest run settled towards the rear 2nd of 12 at this track on August 20 over 1500m, 1.0 len behind Eclogite with 57kg at $38.60. The start before that 5th of 12 at this track on July 31 over 1500m, 4 len behind Erin Achilles with 57kg at $21.60. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 3rd of 11 at this track on July 30 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Rafale D'or carrying 57kg at $6.90. Last start 7th of 9 at this track on August 18 over 1600m, 10 len behind Opera Plage with 56kg at $7.80. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Funabashi on August 25 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Adam's Apple with 55kg at $10.70. The race before that ran second last of 10 at Funabashi on August 3 over 1800m, 9 len behind Ho O Kabuki with 53kg at $74.30. Needs to improve to trouble the top handful.
