Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1600
SOKKO TARUMAKA (10) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third, beaten one length, over today's trip at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. FUKUNO LUKKA (8) returns from a break of five-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1600m at this track. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. OLIVE BRANCH (7) was a gutsy winner last time over 1600m at this track, scoring by half a length and making it two wins in a row. Hard to knock recent runs and looks a definite winning hope again. KINSEN O (3) strode forward early last start from his wide draw and was never headed, scoring by one length at this track over 1400m. Has a terrific record here with two wins and five minor placings from seven starts. Solid claims on best form.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at this track on March 18 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Olive Branch carrying 57kg at $1.50. The run before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len at this track February 22 over 1400m defeating Unwritten Rule carrying 57kg at $1.50. Sure to be right there at the business end.
