GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Good pace headed by Shaman's Cave, Virtual Idol and Grace Sunrise, with Ryuno Chamonix and Kaparamip close by. KAPARAMIP (2) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Has her share of ability and will prove hard to beat again in this suitable race. SHAMAN'S CAVE (6) was in the money two starts back at Kochi but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 6 lengths, there over 1300m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. GRACE SUNRISE (10) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1300m at this circuit. Has her share of ability and is hard to beat in this suitable race. VIRTUAL IDOL (7) finished second at this venue two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m here, finishing 9 lengths back in seventh. Nicely placed to bounce back.
