KOCHI   29 Sep 2024
 
GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Meisho Rosy probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. MEISHO ROSY (9) has been safely held in recent runs but they have been in much stronger company and there was merit in the effort two back when beaten only 3.3L at Kokura. Will find this much easier so has strong winning claims. DON KRONOS (5) is another that drops in grade from the JRA circuit and was good two back when beaten only 3.4L at Sapporo. Expecting a strong showing at this level. DANON MONTE ROSA (3) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 9 lengths at this track and trip. Could go on with it. TAMAMO JACKET (6) was safely held in a tougher race two starts back then found an easier contest last time and led throughout to score over 1400m at this track. Can feature in the finish again.
