KOCHI   11 Oct 2025
 
GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Ascii Art and Ballsy leading the way over Surprise One One. ASCII ART (10) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate and is in the mix. UNWRITTEN RULE (2) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when eighth over 1400m at this track. Anticipating a better run this time. LEGIT POSSE (7) finished out of the money when 11th in a 1400m contest at Hanshin Dirt three weeks ago. Drops in class so she is sure to be prominent. FREIZEIT (5) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1400m at this track then fought on gamely to finish third. In the right race and is a key runner.
