Kochi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1300
SMART VIGOR (5) struggled on the tougher circuit two back then last time appreciated the drop in grade when he bounced back and saluted at this track. In winning form now and should go well again. ZAGARA (2) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1300m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. ARE YOU REAL (8) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 1300m at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. PRETTY SUCHAN (7) could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. One for consideration.

At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at this track November 1 over 1300m defeating Luzente with 56kg at $2.20. The run before that ran last of 9 at Hanshin Dirt on September 27 over 1800m, 34 len behind Seize The Throne carrying 55.0kg at $71.20. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
