Kawasaki Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600
TSUBUAN (3) sets a strong standard after dominant 6L and 8L wins and now stretches to 1600m at the same track; the recent Kawasaki 1400m demolition reads best. BLACK LIZARD (2) looks the main danger with two narrow 1500m wins and an excellent Kawasaki record, and the inside draw helps him hold a spot at the mile. CO'S BLEU (11) has consistent local form and was a clear 2nd over 1500m here last time, so the rise to 1600m can suit if he holds that level. DOKOFUKUKAZE (7) has upside off a 6L Kawasaki win but is first up and up in trip, so may lack the race fitness of the boys—leaning TSUBUAN (3) on proven authority.

Last start at Kawasaki over 1500m on 14 Oct he finished 5th of 7, beaten 9.6L at $17.00 on firm ground. Steps to 1600m and keeps Tsubasa Sasagawa. With that experience at the track, a more settled run at the mile could see improvement.

Won 2 of last 3 and comes here fourth up, bringing solid match fitness. Latest win was at Kawasaki over 1500m on 11 Sep on heavy, 1st of 7 by 0.5L at $3.50, which reads well for the step to 1600m. Excels at this track (3:2-0-1) and has delivered from inside-to-low gates (barriers 1-3: 3:2-0-1). With Ryou Nobata aboard again, Black Lizard maps as a reliable Kawasaki performer in this line-up.

First up after about 12 weeks, she returns to Kawasaki off a dominant 1400m win here on 19 Aug, scoring by 6L at $1.45. Steps to 1600m now and stays on her home track. With Shuuma Niihara booked for Yutaka Nagatomo, that prior strength at the venue reads well. Profiles as a leading chance if she brings that recent level back fresh.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and now stretches to 1600m at Kawasaki. Last start at Funabashi over 1500m, finished 3rd of 7 beaten 4.5L at $1.32, so the market expected more there. Ryouma Kimatsuka rides, and the slight rise in trip gives another look. Competitive on recent profile if holding that level.

Third up and stepping to 1600m after finishing 5th of 11 over 1400m at Urawa on 20 Oct, beaten 4.01L at $23.00. That run came on firm going, and the extra trip could suit her progression. Jouji Wada sticks, which adds continuity. Den Den Denguri has a platform to hold her form at this stage of the prep.
