Kochi Race 11

1400

Stake: $29,160

DISCERNING (5) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing third over 1400m at this track. Well-placed and could prove tough to run down. ARDORE (1) built on a nice third two starts back with success as public elect over 1400m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by a head. Capable of another big performance. REWARD MERLIN (9) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. APOLLO BIBI (8) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 3 lengths over 1300m at this track. Expect another big run.

Most recently made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on May 3 over 1300m, 1.0 len behind Dona Aphrodite with 55kg at $20. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 at this track on April 19 over 1400m, 4 len behind Ardore with 55kg at $36.90. Might just find this a bit too tough.

Recent form sound. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 11 at this track on May 3 over 1300m, 1.5 len behind Gray Storm with 57kg at $5. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 11 at this track on April 19 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Super Favor carrying 57kg at $1.40. Good job last start and has top-three aspirations.

Recent form sound. Most recently crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 12 at this track on April 19 over 1400m, 4 len behind Galapagos with 55kg at $3. The race before that 4th of 12 at this track on April 5 over 1400m, 3 len behind Win Your Song carrying 55kg at $3.50. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
