Kochi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
HOUYHNHNM (7) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a neck at this track. Boasts five wins here. Seiya Tatara who has scored on him twice retains the mount. Bold showing expected. WHITE TURF (6) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 11 lengths into 16th over 1400m at Tokyo. Much better placed with a big class drop. OCEA HARTMAN (9) started at $4.30 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth. Could bounce back. TRAUM PLATZ (4) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at this track and trip. Capable of featuring prominently.

At the latest run 6th of 9 at this track on March 15 over 1400m, 16 len behind Copano Curacao carrying 53kg at $165.20. The run before that second last of 12 at this track on March 1 over 1300m, 13 len behind Carlino with 53kg at $100. Likely to find them too smart.
