Kochi Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
PROTEA (1) is closing in on a win, the latest a narrow second at this track but starting to prove costly. Well placed here and expected to go close again. SPEED SOLDIER (3) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. WONDER STING (10) is close to breaking through following a narrow defeat last time over 1600m at this track. Going well enough to overcome the tricky draw. ARDE YANO (2) took advantage of the good draw and raced on the pace last start then boxed on well to finish third, beaten 7 lengths, over 1600m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so he is a key runner.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 8 at this track on April 5 over 1600m, head behind Mononofu Blue carrying 57kg at $1.10. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on March 10 over 1400m, neck behind Gran Raisins Dores with 57kg at $2.40. Drawn to get the gun run out of the inside barrier.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last start favourite; scored a big 4 len win at this track March 11 over 1400m defeating Namura Crepe carrying 57kg at $1.10. The race before that favourite; scored a big 7 len win at this track February 8 over 1400m defeating Hardboiled with 57kg at $1.01. Nicely drawn and should prove hard to beat.

Most recently won by a head at this track April 5 over 1600m defeating Protea with 57kg at $45.20. The start before that ran last of 11 at this track on March 23 over 1400m, 16 len behind Win Award with 57kg at $297.40. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
