KOCHI   18 May 2024
 
GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo headed by Vitality and Misuzu Major. WEATHERCOCK (5) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished third over 1400m at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Leading contender. WIN AIM HIGH (3) finished out of the money when fifth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. GANKEN (7) last raced on April 18 when fourth at Sonoda over 1230m. In the mix. MISUZU MAJOR (10) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with winning claims.
