Kochi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1600
SAIMON PLAISIR (4) tackled an easier race more recently when a 2.5-length winner over 1400m at this track. Can go on with it now. PHOTOSPHERE (10) used the rails draw to good effect last start, bouncing straight to the lead and scoring an all-the-way win over 1400m at this track. Sure to run well again. GARDEN PLANNER (1) improved last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. NOTHING BETTER (6) looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs, most recently when second over 1400m at this track. Deserves respect on best figures.

Racing well recently. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at this track on June 20 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Saimon Plaisir carrying 53kg at $14.20. Before that led but faded 2nd of 9 at this track on June 7 over 1300m, 3 len behind Or Du Souverain with 55kg at $4.50. Should go well in this line up.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of three months. Finished off last campaign second last of 9 at Funabashi April 3 over 1200m, 13 len behind Sammaru Ship carrying 57kg at $76.90. Previously first up; third in a small field at Funabashi March 13 over 1000m, 4 len behind Satono Mustang with 57kg at $62.50. Should be right in the mix.
