Kochi Race 6

1600

Prize Money: $16,332

SHOSAN KIZUNA (5) showed good early pace over 1600m at this track last time and kept going to score by 4 lengths. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. ELABORATE (1) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1600m at this track. Rates highly on the latest effort and can go on with it. BOB'S YER UNCLE (3) last appeared two weeks ago over 1400m at this track when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Hirokazu Miyagawa stable. Comes here with definite top-three claims. I AM LEGEND (7) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track. Worth another chance.

Most recently eased back early on 7th of 10 at this track on December 29 over 1400m, 9 len behind Shinringenkai carrying 55kg at $78. The run before that won by a neck at this track December 14 over 1400m defeating Zwei Sterne with 57kg at $10.50. Could easily blow them away in the dying stages.
