Kochi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1300

THUNDER ZEUS (8) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 0.8 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Shuji Akaoka scored on him last time and retains the ride. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is one of the key runners. ENOUGH SAID (6) was given time to settle from an outside draw last time then wound up strongly in the straight for an eye-catching third over 1300m at this track. Will be a major player again. FORTE ROSA (5) strode forward early from her wide draw over 1400m at this track last time, leading for much of the way before being claimed in the straight to finish third. Will push forward and is among the chances. BOUNTY CAT (3) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by a head over 1400m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and is worth following up.

Second-up. Comes off a 47-day let-up. First-up after two months won by a head at this track March 23 over 1400m defeating Neo Hughes carrying 55kg at $5.40. Previously second-up ran last of 10 at Sonoda on January 13 over 1230m, 16 len behind Elpizo carrying 55kg at $2.30. Worth consideration.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd of 12 at this track on April 18 over 1400m, 7 len behind Scandinavia with 56kg at $6.10. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track March 3 over 1300m defeating Immortal Wind carrying 55kg at $7.20. Sure to be about the money.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at this track on April 11 over 1400m, 3 len behind Vin Quet Domingo with 54kg at $2.90. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at this track on March 23 over 1400m, 4 len behind Win Award with 54kg at $2.50. One of the chief contenders.
