Kochi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600
OCEA HARTMAN (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is worth serious consideration. MUTABILIS (3) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and is sure to go well. AMMINO LEMON (10) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1400m. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to turn things around. VIADUCT (7) was sixth in a 1300m contest at this track last time out. No surprise to see him in the frame.
