Kochi Race 10

1600

Prize Money: $44,358

LORD IN FIGHT (5) is in top form, most recently recording a win by half a length over 1600m at this track to make it two on the bounce. Should camp just off the leaders and could prove tough to beat. WIN WURDE (2) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on December 31 over 1600m when he scored by 3 lengths. Winning rider Eita Inoue retains the mount. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. JOSHO MODE (4) was narrowly beaten at a huge quote last time out, finishing second over 1600m at this track. Must be included. NEO BRAVE (6) finished fourth last time out over 1600m at this track. Everything points to a big run.

Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on January 12 over 1600m, 5 len behind Copano Rich Man carrying 56kg at $50.80. The run before that eased back early on 3rd in a small field at this track on December 31 over 1600m, 4 len behind Lord In Fight with 56kg at $16.90. Other runners are much more appealing.

Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track January 12 over 1600m defeating Josho Mode with 56kg at $1.70. Before that favourite; came from midfield and won by a head at this track December 31 over 1600m defeating Neo Brave with 56kg at $1.10. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.

Recent form sound. Last start settled back and ran on when 4th of 7 at this track on January 12 over 1600m, 7 len behind Copano Rich Man carrying 56kg at $6.30. The run before that 2nd in a small field at this track on December 31 over 1600m, head behind Lord In Fight carrying 56kg at $7.20. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
