KASAMATSU   20 Feb 2026
 
GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Win Magnolia, Tomoe and Mark Of Zorro. WIN MAGNOLIA (8) was handy on straightening and went on to finish second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten a nose. Likely improver with strong prospects. TOMOE (9) returned from a spell last start and finished second over this distance here. Has a strong record this course, scoring at five of seven starts. Must be respected. HABIBI (6) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1200m at Monbetsu five months ago. Tsutsui Yusuke has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Has claims on his best figures. ROBUST WARRIOR (7) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
