Kawasaki Race 8 - Kawasaki C2
IVY BLITZ (6) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1400m last time, finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEISHO MATILDA (2) kept coming only to just miss last start over 1500m at this track. Should be near her peak for this. Nicely placed to take this out. ICHIGO WHIP (4) got the prize two runs ago at Urawa. Safely held last time out when tenth over 1500m at this track, beaten 12 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ALL NIPPON (8) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on September 28, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 1900m at Mizusawa. Now under the care of new trainer Hironori Sato. Definite top-three chance.
