Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1600
CHEVAL NOIR (4) finished second two runs back at Funabashi then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths as favourite over 2000m at Urawa. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping again. IRELAND'S CALL (6) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on February 2 over 1400m when he got home by one length. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MUTABILIS (2) finished tenth over 1300m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. NANDE FESTIVE (3) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1300m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can feature in the finish.
