KOCHI   31 May 2025
 
GOING:

Race 4 1900m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Saiseisei taking charge. KAZU LAUREATO (12) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third two starts back then got the job done by 0.8 lengths as public elect last time out over 1300m at this track. Capable of another big performance. KINGDOM WINNER (4) was doing his best work late last start to get up for third over 1400m at this track. Expected to be there at the business end. WONDER CATALINA (6) has switched yards since finishing sixth a month ago over 1400m at Sonoda. Sure to make his presence felt. SHISHINO BRAVE (10) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2.5 lengths win at this track over 1400m. Can figure in the finish again.
