KANAZAWA   15 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a solid pace primarily from Mani Hero. MANI HERO (7) is in top form, most recently recording a win by 1.5 lengths over 1500m at this track to make it two in succession. Form this track is hard to knock with seven wins from 15 starts. Right in this. GARM CAT (9) finished 12th last start over 1500m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Disappointed there as his prior form had been strong. Expected to bounce back to form. KITANO DIA (6) was quickly into stride over 1400m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by 5 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. IROHANIOE (3) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1400m at this track when beaten 1.5 lengths. Has a win and four minor placings from seven starts at this track and distance. Solid claims on best form.
