KOCHI   10 May 2025
 
GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Scene De Neige and Yamanin Brighten pressing for the lead. NEO TRUE (8) missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, finishing fourth. Nicely placed to get the prize. DANON EARLY (6) last appeared six weeks ago over 1600m at Chukyo when he finished 13th. This is his first run for the S Beppu stable. Should be thereabouts. YAMANIN BRIGHTEN (9) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1400m here. One of the main contenders. ACROPOLIS (3) was in the money two starts back but missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1300m at this track. Suited here and can sneak into the finish.
