Kochi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
BANDONEON (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth in a 1400m contest at this track three weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. DANON FAST (9) stepped up in trip to 1600m last time at this track and ran below his best, finishing 7 lengths away in fifth. Appeals back in trip this time so a bold showing is expected. IL CUORE (2) did little and finished 11 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1300m at this track last start after being in the firing line on the bend, a less impressive effort than his sixth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. MUTABILIS (8) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1300m at this track, finishing 12 lengths back in sixth. Finds a nice race and can atone.

Most recently 10th of 12 at this track on March 1 over 1300m, 11 len behind American Cool with 57kg at $15.90. Before that failed to make an impression; 6th of 9 at this track on February 8 over 1400m, 7 len behind Arde Yano with 55kg at $5.60. Can bounce back after a modest effort last time.
