Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
MEISHO KAZUSA (9) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1600m at this track but was only beaten 3.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Perfectly placed and is likely to bounce back to form. TOP AMERICAN (8) improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten only a neck. Best figures measure up. Major player. OCEA HARTMAN (11) finished fourth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Serious threat. SHOTMAKER (6) finished third last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 11 at this track on March 22 over 1400m, 7 len behind Kelpie with 57kg at $9.50. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 5th of 12 at this track on March 1 over 1300m, 8 len behind Carlino with 57kg at $4.60. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
