KAWASAKI   17 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

The pace looks even at best given a lack of early speed. HORSE ONE (5) resumed from a spell for a new stable last start when he found one better over 1400m at this track, his first dirt track experience. At home on the dirt track last time and is a key runner again. NARINO BOGART (3) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better, beaten a length after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MJUK FORTE (9) started at $9.30 last time and ran below expectations. Best figures measure up. ROSE STIER (10) made progress last time out, finishing third. Nicely placed to feature.
