Kochi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600
OLIVE BRANCH (4) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when fifth over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. KURINO DRAGON (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. The engagement of Ryotaro Oka is a positive move. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. BOMBER (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths into eighth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. AMMINO LEMON (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1300m. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
