KOCHI   20 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Gran Raisins Dores and Derma Azrael up front. GRAN RAISINS DORES (5) has scored at his last five starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with five wins from seven runs. The one to beat. DISCERNING (7) scored two back but was below his best last time when eighth over 1400m at this track. Ideally placed can play a pivotal role. DERMA AZRAEL (8) is back from a spell. Closed last prep in sparkling form with three consecutive wins, the latest over 1600m at this track on July 13. Strong record with Koichiro Senoo aboard, including two wins. Can kick off the campaign well. POINT FORWARD (4) ran below his best last time over 1400m at this track when fourth. Hideya Sahara who has five wins when partnering stays on. Must be respected.
