KOCHI   16 May 2026
 
GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Good speed from T O Sirius booting up on the inside the other on-pacers Speed Soldier and Magic Touch. SPEED SOLDIER (8) is going well, scoring by 4 lengths two runs back at this track before finishing fourth last time over 1400m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will play a major role. JOSHO POWER (11) finished fourth last start over 1800m at this track. Capable of more. MAGIC TOUCH (5) just missed last time when a neck away in second at this track over 1400m. Leading player again. OCEA TOP GUN (3) did well last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten only a head. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
