Kochi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
MEISHO KAZUSA (8) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 8 length win at this track over 1400m. Will go forward and should be in the finish again. RARITAS (5) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. IN ORBIT (6) was prominent at the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1300m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to take this out. MUTABILIS (3) took up the running last time and turned in front but faded to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over this journey at this track. Can feature in the finish.

Most recently 7th of 11 at this track on March 22 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Daichi Vivant carrying 57kg at $137.50. The run before that 4th of 8 at this track on March 8 over 1400m, 9 len behind Meisho Kazusa with 57kg at $15.50. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
