Kawasaki Race 8

Kawasaki C1

Prize Money: AUD $33,382

INNER STEEL (4) is a promising entire yet to miss the frame after four starts, including three wins. Has not been produced since he got the prize over 1500m at this track on January 30. Naoki Machida who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Likely to feature. BEACH SAVIOUR (6) changes rider since being well held last time in eighth over 1500m at this track on April 4. Forgive that latest effort. In the mix. ROYAL ZAP (2) last appeared six weeks ago over 1870m at Sonoda when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Seiichi Kato stable. Has found the right race and is worth including. NOBU HENDRIX (1) finished 3.5 lengths behind the winner in fifth place when resuming over 1500m last start at this track. Has a decent second up record. Likely improver.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 13 at this track on March 14 over 1500m, 1.0 len behind Bis Bald with 54kg at $54. Second run from a spell second last of 10 at this track on April 4 over 1400m, 9 len behind Art Of Life with 54kg at $16. No threat last time out but this suits.
