KOCHI   24 Nov 2025
 
GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Danon Michael. BIOGRAFIA (5) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on November 8 over 1600m when he scored by 3 lengths. Winning rider Taichi Nagamori retains the mount. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SANONO ESPO (6) has switched yards since finishing 12th seven weeks ago over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Leading hope in this more suitable grade. DANON MICHAEL (1) improved last time out to score by 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner over 1600m at this track. Draws well so may repeat the dose. TAMAMO MASURAO (10) has good form here at this journey with five wins from eight runs. Best figures stack up nicely.
