Kochi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1600
VIVA JO (2) is a speedy filly who returned from a break with a win over 1300m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. SMART FRANKY (3) finished out of the money when seventh over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. REAL CITY (7) is yet to break through in 11 runs. Finished fifth at his last appearance over 1300m at this track on September 27. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. HAND RANGE (9) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth over 1300m at this track. Can play a role in the finish.
