KOCHI   20 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Under The Bridge leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. AZIONE (10) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1600m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Can bounce right back. REAL CITY (7) is a 16-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1300m at this track. Top chance to break the ice. MARCHEN RISE (8) improved last start but found one better over 1300m at this track. Comes here with definite claims. CALLING ME (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1300m at this track. Must be included.
