Kochi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
GO MAX (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with bright prospects. ARDE YANO (1) is a distance specialist who has been in great form with three placings in succession, most recently when third over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Beautifully placed and in the mix. CARRY HAPPINESS (5) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fifth over 1300m here last time. Can figure in the finish. ENJOLRAS (9) was well in the market first up from a spell last start over 1300m at this track but was safely held in tenth. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.
