Kochi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600
GLANZ ATEM (1) impressed last time with a 4 length win at this track over this journey. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including five wins. Will be hard to stop. BIG SHOW TIME (4) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when eighth over 1400m at this track. Reunites with Shuji Akaoka who has a win when partnering. Expecting a bold showing. MEISHO SHIROGANE (6) wasn't far away last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Poses a serious threat. KURINO DRAGON (11) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over 1900m after he had settled well back. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Has the class to take this out.
