GOING:

NAGASHINO STAKES 1200m

Track:      

Plenty of pace likely from Meisho Kaze Machi, Wonder Kisara and Lord Trail battling for the lead from Ecoro Mars. WONDER KISARA (1) made a strong late bid only to just miss when fresh from a spell last start over 1200m at Kokura. Will take a lot from that hitout. Placed to advantage so expect another big run. JUHANNUS (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 1/06/2025, finishing 13th and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at Kyoto. One of the genuine hopes in the race. BAND SHELL (6) finished ninth over 1400m at Kyoto at his most recent appearance on June 1. Has to be respected. ECORO MARS (9) turned things around last start and got the job done by a neck over 1200m at Fukushima. Finds a suitable race and can feature prominently.
