KOCHI   21 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with In His Eyes taking charge. GENYOSAI (6) returns from a break of eight months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1800m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. LORD ECLAIR (3) has switched yards since finishing down the track six weeks ago over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Much easier this time and can make a bright start for the new stable. IN HIS EYES (8) was last at the races when she finished second over 1300m at this track on July 6. Among the better hopes. CASTLE TOP (2) struggled at the latest but is capable of a much stronger performance this time. Don't dismiss.
