Kochi Race 5

1300

Prize Money: $12,076

HIERBA BUENA (4) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second two starts back then got the job done by 2 lengths as public elect last time out over 800m at this track. Top contender. ARLEQUIN (8) has been about the mark without winning, the latest effort a second over 800m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with four minor placings from five runs. Sure to go well. KURINO NICE GUY (9) placed as favourite last time over 1300m at this track after he had won two races on end. Certainly worth another chance. STEELOPOLIS (10) registered a strong win two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when second over 1600m at this track. Can figure in the finish.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at this track July 6 over 800m defeating Shonan La Joie with 57kg at $1.10. Before that led but faded 2nd of 11 at this track on June 22 over 1400m, 2 len behind Steelopolis carrying 57kg at $2.90. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. Last start didn't do much in the run home; 7th of 12 at this track on June 7 over 1300m, 9 len behind Sakura Rajan with 55kg at $322.30. The run before that ran last of 9 at this track on May 24 over 1400m, 24 len behind Skylight with 52kg at $143.10. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Recent form sound. Most recently rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 at this track on July 5 over 800m, 1.0 len behind Energy Grand with 57kg at $1.20. Before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 11 at this track on June 8 over 1300m, neck behind Shaman's Cave with 57kg at $2.30. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.
