Kochi Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
CAT'S RISE (8) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts her right in this. AURA BILLS (5) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1400m, finishing fourth. Seiya Tatara who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Leading contender. THUNDER ZEUS (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race. WATER LEMON (1) is experiencing a win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to feature.
