Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
NAMURA RUCOLA (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 14 lengths into 11th after being prominent at the turn. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. NITTO RAIJIN (11) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Has never been out of the money in five starts here at this trip, including a win. Expected to be in the finish. PETAL BIJOU (4) ran well below her best last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth at $2.10. Masayoshi Yamasaki who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Expected to measure up. KONOYORUO TOMETEYO (7) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 8 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 7 at this track on May 3 over 1600m, 8 len behind Sanono American with 55kg at $2.80. Before that favourite; scored a big 4 len win at this track April 11 over 1300m defeating Toa Good Luck carrying 55kg at $16.70. Ideally placed to play a significant role.

Last start second last of 11 at this track on May 3 over 1600m, 18 len behind Nitto Raijin with 57kg at $17.60. The start before that eased back early on 8th of 10 at this track on April 19 over 1400m, 7 len behind Neujahr with 57kg at $11.70. Might need easier race.
