Kawasaki Race 7 - Race 7 - 1500
BLACK LIZARD (2) Fought on well to win a tight contest last time at this track and can find a nice position from the draw. Will be positive in the run early. Definite winning chance. EWALD (5) Came in 3rd last time here and putting a tidy record together so far. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. MURIMURIKATATUMURI (7) Kicked clear when winning by 6L last run at this track. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Must be considered. GINGER HOPE (4) Lacklustre showing when 7th last start at this venue. Keep in mind.

Was $19.00 and came in 4th last run here but has minimal work to do from the barrier. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Others much better.

Secured a close victory last time around here and has a positive draw. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Commands respect.

Pulled away to win by a margin of 6L last run around here. Been in the placegetters each start this preparation. Major chance.
