DERMA BEELZEBUB (4) finished ninth last start, beaten 11 lengths, over 1600m at Kochi. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring 12 times from 18 starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. LONELY PLANET (3) was in contention on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. PATRIOT GAME (11) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. SUN SUIREN (9) produced another moderate effort last start when 13 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
