Kochi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1600
EXCEL STATE (4) finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to go one better. AZIONE (8) has switched yards since finishing ninth five weeks ago over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. One of the genuine hopes in the race. BELLE VIOLETTE (9) improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Can feature. BOURGEOIS (6) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 1300m at this track at her latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.

Second-up. First start 8th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on September 21 over 1800m, 11 len behind Ten Wonder Man carrying 55.0kg at $137.40. Went for a break before returning sat on the pace when 2nd of 9 at this track on April 27 over 1300m, 0.8 len behind Josho Sakura carrying 57kg at $2.20. Leading chance with plenty of upside.

Second-up. First start ran last in a small field at Sonoda on October 29 over 820m, 37 len behind Satono Rendezvous carrying 54kg at $32. Went for a spell before returning couldn't go on with it; ran last of 8 at this track on April 27 over 1300m, 15 len behind Bonjour Zen carrying 55kg at $59.10. Unlikely to threaten.
