Kawasaki Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
ZELE NODUS (7) sets the standard with consistent recent form and a 1400m record that includes a win and two further placings; arrives off a 2nd at the trip. VIHTA (3) is a query first up but showed enough when 4th over this course and distance to be competitive if holding that level. MACHIDANO CHIEKO (2) can figure with a repeat of her 4th here two runs back at 1400m, though her latest 12.5L defeat tempers confidence. LOVE MESSAGE (1) maps to get favours from the inside and did finish 4th here last start, but the big margins in recent runs are a concern. Leaning to ZELE NODUS (7) to outclass these at 1400m.

Draws the inside after jumping from 4 last time, and drops to 52kg from 54kg. At the latest run over 1400m at Kawasaki on 13 Oct she was 4th of 8, beaten 11L at $67.00, which was a clear improvement on her 11 Sep effort over the same trip on heavy when 6th of 9, beaten 29.55L at $81.00. Small positives in the rail draw and lighter weight, with recent runs at this track and trip providing a base to work from.

Second up and draws much better, moving from barrier 7 to 2. Last start here over 1400m on 13 Oct she was 5th of 8, beaten 12.5L at $31.00. Earlier at Kawasaki over 1400m on 15 May she ran 4th of 9, beaten 4.3L at $5.00. The softer gate gives her a chance to improve back at the same trip.

First up after about 8 months, and draws better moving from gate 7 to 3. Last seen 3 Mar at Kawasaki over 1400m on soft, finishing 4th of 11, beaten 7.25L at $61.00. Back to the same track and trip with a kinder barrier, which gives Vihta a tidier set-up to resume.

First starter colt for Katsuyoshi Uchida with Naoki Machida booked over 1400m at Kawasaki. Pedigree by Hokko Tarumae out of Hayabusa Pekochan points to a dirt influence, suited to this circuit. Debut set-up is straightforward and the draw will be key in a nine-runner field. With an experienced rider engaged, Sarasa Pekochan has a reasonable platform to make an impression.

First starter by Gold Dream out of Tapitail for Yuuya Yamazaki, debuting at 1400m. Draws Kousuke Sakurai, which gives a familiar local pairing. Profile suggests a straightforward sprint-to-mile setup to kick off. Les Tresses presents a clean debut profile and can acquit herself well at Kawasaki.

First up after about nine months, and stretches from 900m to 1400m back at Kawasaki. Last time here at 1400m he finished 4th of 9 on 5 Aug 2025 at $51.00, albeit beaten 13.3L. Prior run was a 900m Kawasaki clash on 6 Feb when 12th of 12, beaten 13.15L at $61.00. Needs to find improvement but the return to 1400m is a suitable setup for Mont Courage.

Placed in 4 of last 5 and already a 1400m winner, she brings reliable form to this trip. Last start at Kanazawa over 1400m she ran 2nd of 8, beaten 1.5L on soft at $2.50, which reads well. Her 1400m record (4:1-1-1) and a consistent season (5:1-1-2) make Zele Nodus a solid chance to hold her form.

Second up after a 1400m run at Kawasaki on 13 Oct when 7th of 8, beaten 14.3L at $41.00 on firm ground. Stays at 1400m and sticks with Shuuma Niihara for Takayuki Hayashi. Needs to lift on that return, but race fitness should tighten and the set-up remains familiar.

First up after about six months, and returns to Kawasaki. Last seen 15 May here over 900m, finishing 3rd of 9 at $10.00 but beaten 8.5L on firm going. Stretches to 1400m now, which offers a different test from that sharp sprint. With Haruku Sano booked, Imparable has a fresh platform to build on back at this track.
