Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
DANON WILHELM (4) is going well this preparation, including a last start win over 1600m at this track to bring up four wins from seven runs in the campaign. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with three wins from four runs and should be in the finish. IEDE GOROGORO (6) tackled a better race last start and finished eighth at this track over 1900m, beaten 10 lengths. That effort followed a win at this track two starts back. Better placed this time and can do much better. REACH A DEAL (1) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1300m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into eighth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. YUMENO SAKI (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to break the run of outs.
