Kochi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600
NAMURA BUNCHY (6) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on March 9 over 1400m when he scored by one length. Ideally placed and could prove tough to beat. KAZU LAUREATO (9) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1600m. Finds a suitable assignment and can discover winning form. KURE FENO (1) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1300m, finishing fourth. Can bounce back. SHAFT OF LIGHT (2) was seventh over 1300m at this track at his latest appearance. Nicely placed to find some form.

Useful type. At the latest run 7th of 11 at this track on March 12 over 1300m, 5.5 len behind Mattina with 56kg at $25.70. Before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 11 at this track on February 25 over 1400m, 9 len behind Miscela Dorata carrying 56kg at $159.60. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Useful type. Most recently ran last of 8 at this track on March 12 over 1300m, 6 len behind Win Award with 53kg at $31.50. The start before that came from midfield and won by a nose at this track February 25 over 1400m defeating Divertir carrying 56kg at $2.80. On his best form he can take this out.
