Kawasaki Race 5 - Kawasaki 3Yo
POD DESPAIR (5) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1400m at this track two months ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. CARDAMOM ROLL (3) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1400m after being in contention on the turn. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. CANAL GALE (2) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Has upside and looks a key runner. GUAPISIMA (8) finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth at her last appearance over 900m at this track on February 6 after she got a long way back in the run. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
