KAWASAKI   09 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 3 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo likely with Venus Orchid, Hina Bonbon and Gold Flavor prominent. HINA BONBON (6) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from six tries and can get the job done. VENUS ORCHID (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1300m at Urawa. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Looks well placed so expect another big run. FINAL WONDER (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 5 when beaten 6 lengths into fourth at this track over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. TRINITARIANISM (8) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 7 lengths away in third over 1400m at Urawa. Hard to leave out.
