Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
POINT FORWARD (10) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. The engagement of Hideya Sahara is a positive move. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. EARTH RISER (8) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1600m at this track. Has a strong record here, including three wins. Will prove tough to beat. MEISHO HYUMA (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 1.1 lengths back in fourth over 1400m at this track. Will push forward and is among the chances. FREE HORSE PARK (5) continued the good recent form when he finished just half a length away in second last time out over 1400m at this track. Has been thereabouts without winning and cannot be underestimated.
