Kochi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
MEINER EARTH (5) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BLACK SOUTHER (7) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Faces an easier assignment so he can return to the winners' list. MEISHO BELL (2) disappointed last time when seventh over 1600m at this track after a close third at this track the run prior. Looks better placed over this shorter trip so can do much better. JUGGERNAUT (11) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 17 when beaten 6 lengths into fifth at this track over 1400m. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
