KOCHI   10 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Race 3 1300m

Track:      

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Daniel Barows and Nitto Raijin. NITTO RAIJIN (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DANIEL BAROWS (10) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 13th, beaten 9 lengths, over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt after he was in the firing line on the turn. Has further improvement to come and can turn things around. CUENCA (12) went forward last start over 1300m at this track and held on well for second, beaten a neck. Should be close to the speed despite the draw. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MIYA FIGHTER (8) won her maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at her last two runs, most recently when third over 1300m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Not to be discounted.
