KAWASAKI   14 Oct 2025
 
GOING:

Race 8 2000m

Track:      

Hakushu is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. HAKUSHU (12) added to his impressive record with a win over 2000m at this track at his last appearance before a break four months ago. Goes very well when fresh from a spell with three wins from five starts so he is likely to figure in the finish. TAISEI SHIP (5) just missed last time when a nose away in second at Urawa over 2000m. Should be in the finish again. MIRAIENO HANA (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 13 lengths away in 11th over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. DOUBLE MESSAGE (2) has switched yards since finishing seventh a month ago over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Can do much better here.
