KOCHI   21 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Million Times taking charge. NITTO RAIJIN (11) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a length over 1300m here last time. Seiya Tatara stays aboard. Should be hard to stop. BLOOM SONG (1) went to the lead from the low draw last time out and was still there on straightening, eventually finishing second. Solid run last time and will take catching again. JO ELPIZO (8) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win at this track over 1300m. Another bold showing expected. KAMPU (2) missed the placings in sixth last time. Shuji Akaoka gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Nicely placed to find some form.

Third-up today. First-up held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on October 25 over 1300m, 0.5 len behind Liberty Flame with 55kg at $4.30. Second run from a spell raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 11 at this track on December 7 over 1300m, 8 len behind American Cool with 55kg at $3.80. She can make amends.
