Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400

THUNDER ZEUS (2) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Kawasaki six months ago. One of the leading chances. HARUNO SAMSON (7) ran seventh at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Can feature. RYUNOSU (6) is a distance specialist who settled well back when eighth over 1300m at this track last start. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. EIFER KINGS (5) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on November 23 when 11th. Backmarker who gets home hard. Sure to be competitive.
