KOCHI   30 Jun 2024
 
GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Expecting Moment Gustar to take up the running with Simply The Best and Sanono Hero close at hand. MOMENT GUSTAR (7) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1400m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. GOOD RIDDANCE (3) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.8 lengths adrift in third over 1600m at this track. Reunites with Seiya Tatara which is a proven winning combination. Among the leading chances. SIMPLY THE BEST (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Sonoda, most recently finishing second over 1600m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. DEVOUR THE WAY (5) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last start. Has a solid record at this circuit. Must be respected.
