KAWASAKI   19 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Solid pace with Chrome Wolf kicking up and Tombo applying the pressure. KASENO RAO (2) showed early speed from an outside draw when resuming last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third over this track and trip. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to make a big impact. PRESTO RISE (11) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time, finishing third. Deserves a lot more respect. YUME DREAM (10) finished fifth when resuming last start at this track. Has a decent second up record. Among the winning hopes. TOMBO (8) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Anticipating a better run this time.
