Kochi Race 11 - Race 11 - 1600
ASCII ART (9) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by one length over 1300m at this track. Yet to miss the placings from five starts at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. OTAMAJAKUSHI (4) produced a solid effort last time when second over 1300m at this track after he was always up in the leading division. The extra journey should play into his hands. Expected to run well. HIERBA BUENA (8) scored last start at this track to make it five wins and two placings from nine starts this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Capable of testing this field. REACH A DEAL (7) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths as public elect over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.

Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on October 18 over 1400m, head behind Bob's Yer Uncle carrying 52kg at $4.40. The start before that eased back early on 6th of 12 at this track on October 4 over 1400m, 4 len behind Steve Barows carrying 52kg at $9.60. Close to a win. One of the better chances.
