KAWASAKI   13 May 2025
 
GOING: S

Race 8 900m

Track: SOFT      

Strong early tempo with Derma Carmilla and Miss Sun leading the way. MISS SUN (3) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep ten weeks ago when she scored by 1.5 lengths. Should be prominent from the low draw. Among the leading chances. TURINA WRIGHT (4) had been racing consistently with three minor placings on end prior to finishing seventh most recently over 800m at Urawa. Back to the track at which he finished second two runs back. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. DERMA CARMILLA (6) finished 11th two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 900m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. KITANO BLUE HALLEZ (7) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance ten weeks ago. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Satoru Furusawa. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
