KOCHI   29 Sep 2024
 
GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Lack of early speed means Viru could find the lead. WIND SPEED (6) is a five-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start at this track and trip. Improvement to come and this is his chance to break through. LA BONITA (3) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second over this distance at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MOON BLUE (8) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time at this track and trip when resuming from a spell. In the right race and can progress. CORNWALLIS (9) was well held on the JRA circuit two back then last time sat on the pace in an easier race and stuck on well to finish third. Go well again.
