Kochi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1300
MEISHO HYUMA (3) last appeared four weeks ago over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt when he finished 14th. This is his first run for the Tatsuya Nakanishi stable. Key runner. HIKARU ELIZABETH (8) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw and led until straightening before finishing fourth over 1300m at this track last time out. Has a strong record at this course, scoring three times from four starts. Leading contender. AORAKI (1) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over 1400m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. YUKINO MARIA (4) finished second last start over 1300m at this track when she worked home well, beaten 2 lengths. Should be peaking. Likely improver with solid claims.

Racing well. Comes off a 33 day let-up. Last start 4th of 9 at this track on March 18 over 1300m, 4 len behind Noble Shade carrying 54kg at $1.80. The run before that favourite; won by 30 len at this track February 24 over 1300m defeating Eiyu Sweet with 54kg at $1.01. Capable of a better run.
