Kochi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600
HO O SCRUM (4) was last at the races when he finished third over 1400m at this track on February 23. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. AMULETUM (10) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.0 lengths adrift in third over 1300m at this track. Can measure up. RADIO GA GA (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when sixth over 1300m at this track four weeks ago. Has the class to figure prominently. APSARA (2) started at $5.90 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Should camp just off the leaders. Can feature in the finish.
