Kochi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
COPANO CURACAO (2) got home by 5 lengths here two starts ago but was disappointing last time at this track when fourth. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance. LEMON SOUFFLE (1) was in the money two starts back at Urawa but couldn't back it up last time when tenth at this track over 1400m. Better than that run suggests and worth including. SHADOW MADNESS (9) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth at this track over 1300m. Capable enough on his day and is expected to run well. YEHOSHUA (8) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so he can be prominent again.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 11 at this track on February 10 over 1300m, 4 len behind American Cool carrying 57kg at $7.30. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 5 len at this track January 26 over 1600m defeating Glanz Atem with 57kg at $2.70. Everything points towards a big run.

Comes here off a 50-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 10 at this track on December 29 over 1400m, 43 len behind Arde Yano with 57kg at $79.10. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track on December 14 over 1300m, 3 len behind Eliot with 57kg at $19.40. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
