KOCHI   29 Sep 2024
 
GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Million Times to take up the running at a moderate tempo. MILLION TIMES (4) was good in the latest runs at JRA level, beaten only 3.6L into sixth over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. That is good form for this far easier assignment and is expected to go close. THREE MOMENT (9) hasn't featured at his last two runs, the latest when 9 lengths away in 15th at Chukyo. Will appreciate this easier company and is worth another chance. PEISHA KIKU (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 2000m at Niigata. Better placed so can make an impact. NOAH AGILE (5) returns from a spell of four months and is having her first run for a new yard. Can measure up.
