KAWASAKI   27 Jul 2026
 
GOING:

Race 9 900m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Cloudy Looks, Quantize and Sun Fountain leading the way. CLOUDY LOOKS (4) finds it hard to win but left a good impression last time out when beaten a neck into second over 900m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Likely to feature. HI BARBIE (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just one length from the winner in second over 900m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ANGE GRACE (10) finds it hard to win with just one success from 14 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 900m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. MAONO VOLCANO (5) was beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth in a 900m contest at this track three weeks ago. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
