Kochi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
SHAMAN'S CAVE (8) Was competitive when 3rd last run around here. Shuuji Akaoka is a key engagement. Can get the job done. ZOKU ZOKU (1) Came in 6th last start at this venue. Is capable of a resurgence and has drawn to do little work. Could give some each way value. LEMON SOUFFLE (2) Only fair when 10th last run at this track but has a positive gate. Will be competitive. YEHOSHUA (6) Finished 5th last start at this venue. Expecting improvement here. Could be a value selection.
