Kochi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1300
NIGHT SNIPER (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1300m at this track last time, getting there by 8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Drawn well close to the inside and a bold showing is expected. KUROSHIO BANZAI (1) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 1400m at this track. Well placed to feature again. SNOW PRINCE (5) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when tenth over 1600m at this track, beaten 17 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. VILLE AVANCER (9) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by a head over 1400m at this track. Will be doing his best work late.
