KOCHI   20 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure. POSITIVITY (5) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a nose over 1300m at this track. Winning rider Takuya Okamura sticks and he can go on with it. WIDE RAID (8) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground when seventh over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Has raced three times at this course and distance and is yet to be beaten. Seiya Tatara gets the best out of this three-year-old filly. Look for an improved run. JUGGERNAUT (1) missed the frame last start when sixth over 1300m at this track. Anticipating a better run this time. MASA WOOD TAIL (4) finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 1300m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.
