KOCHI   18 May 2024
 
GOING:

Race 5 1800m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely from the outset with Kure Feno, Holy Barows and Uotaka prominent. MAGIC SEVEN (3) made it three wins on the bounce last start when he scored by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Hideya Sahara retains the mount. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. NANAIRO LINE (8) is usually thereabouts but was again denied last start when she found a couple better over 1600m at this track. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated. HOLY BAROWS (10) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing seventh over 1870m at Sonoda last start. Will be handy despite the tricky draw and is one to consider. UOTAKA (5) has been in the market at her last couple of starts since resuming but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing sixth over 1700m at Nagoya. Expecting improvement here.
