Kochi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600
EARTH RISER (1) lifted strongly to score last time with 0.8 lengths to spare over 1600m at this track, making it three in a row. Has a formidable combination with Taichi Nagamori who has been aboard for his last three wins. Sure to play a big role. FORD TESORO (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Well placed and gets his chance to break through. FOX SLEEP (7) went fast early over 1400m at this track last time and went on to score by 1.5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. JOSHO POWER (5) improved last start to finish third over 1300m at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.

The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on January 13 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Le Corsaire with 57kg at $3.90. Impressed last start. Right in the mix again.
