KOCHI   14 Jun 2025
 
GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Tomiken Shairi leading the way. RAISON DU SOURIRE (1) last appeared five weeks ago over 1600m at Kyoto when he finished eighth. This is his first run for the Tetsuya Nagase stable. Key runner who will be tough to beat. TOMIKEN SHAIRI (8) improved last time out to score by a head over 1600m at this track. On his best form he is right in contention. MEMORY EFFECT (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at this track. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. MATSURIDA CHOPIN (9) was fifth over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Better than recent efforts suggest and worth consideration.
