Kochi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
CHURA RIVAL (2) scored over 1400m at this track two back then found a couple better last time out over 1600m at this track. Best form stacks up nicely. Big chance. MEIJO ENERGY (4) finished 1.4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed and in the mix. S K BLOOD (9) could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1300m at this track after he got a long way back in the run. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. KAITO WEITER (1) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Urawa when he finished tenth. This is his first run for the Daisaku Mekusa stable. Can measure up for the new barn.

Racing well recently. Last start set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at this track on April 26 over 1600m, 8 len behind O Shin Million carrying 56kg at $32.60. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track March 22 over 1400m defeating Mia Soleil with 56kg at $13. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
