MOMBETSU   23 Apr 2025
 
GOING: S

Race 1 1000m

Track: SOFT      

Strong tempo assured with Koyukichan and Steel Thunder leading the way over Othello. CURREN HIRO (6) finished 5.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 800m at Kasamatsu a month ago. Steps up in distance today. The testing material. SWEET CANDY (3) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1000m at this track. No surprise if she was able to get off the mark. KOYUKICHAN (11) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when third over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Winning claims on best figures. MIRAIE HOSHO (1) lines up for the first time since November 6. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1000m at this track. Among the better hopes.
