Kochi Race 4 - Race 4 - 1300
CUENCA (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 5 lengths away in second over 1300m at this track. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SHAMAN'S CAVE (4) returns from a spell of 12 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fourth over 1400m at this track. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and looks a top chance. BLACK SOUTHER (3) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can feature in the finish. SAIKAKU (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 26 when beaten 9 lengths into ninth at this track over 1300m. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.
