KOCHI   20 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Skylight and Sanono Speed to take up the running at a strong tempo. SKYLIGHT (3) is going very well this time in with three wins from five attempts. Won two starts back at this track and was close again last time out. Taichi Nagamori is back on and has a solid record on the four-year-old, including seven wins. Right in this. SANONO SPEED (1) was narrowly beaten at a huge quote last time out, finishing second over 1800m at this track. Expected to run well again. MISTERIOSO (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort an eighth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed and anticipating a better run this time. SHOTMAKER (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.

The run before that led but faded 3rd of 11 at this track on November 2 over 1400m, 2 len behind Skylight with 57kg at $18.20. Can improve again. Top chance.
