Kochi Race 4

1400

Stake: $12,226

SHAMAN'S CAVE (4) Finished 4th last run at this track. Expected to rebound. Jockey Shuuji Akaoka is a strong choice aboard. Finds a winnable race. BACK SCREEN (7) Came in 4th last start at the track. May see an upturn in form. Very competitive this preparation. Jockey Masayoshi Yamasaki is very comfortable steering. Worth a bet. LEMON SOUFFLE (6) Was nothing special when 6th last time at the track. Exotics and place contender. DEEP KINDS (5) On a short turnaround. Moderate showing when 7th last start at this venue. Looks to have a good chance of placing.
