GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Kris Return leading the way. KRIS RETURN (7) is a consistent performer with three minor placings from three starts this time in work. Turned in another good performance at his most recent run when second over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. SAFFRON BRIGHT (8) was in the money last start when third at this track over 1400m and should be at peak now. Can contest the finish. PRIME LINE (3) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when tenth over this journey at Kochi. This is a nice drop in grade and is one of the main contenders. SYNCHROGAZER (6) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
