Kochi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

SMART DANDY (3) has scored at his last five starts, most recently by 4 lengths over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from four starts. Leading player again. ECORO FALCON (5) found plenty to salute by 6 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has a fine record here with five wins from 12 starts. Should run well. JOSHO MODE (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. HO O SCRUM (4) produced another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1300m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Finds a nice race and can atone.

Going well. At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and won by 4 len at this track February 4 over 1300m defeating Borneo with 56kg at $1.70. The race before that favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track January 13 over 1300m defeating Ailes Brave with 56kg at $1.30. Plenty to like about his prospects.
