Kochi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1600
CASTLE TOP (11) went forward over 1600m at this track last time and held on for third. Has the pace to overcome the draw. Has a terrific record here with seven wins and two minor placings from nine starts. Among the leading chances. TAMAMO MASURAO (9) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with seven wins and two minor placings from 13 runs. Sure to go well again. RADIO GA GA (10) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. This doesn't look as hard so she is sure to be right there at the finish. FOUR SIDE NINE (2) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of ten weeks and looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. One of the genuine hopes in the race.
