Kochi Race 6 - Race 6 - 1300
PHOTOSPHERE (11) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on July 4 over 1600m when he got home by 3 lengths. Winning rider Seiya Tatara retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. BIG BAND (1) was an impressive winner last time over 800m at this track, leading throughout and putting 3 lengths on his rivals. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including two wins. Major player. GRAN ORCA (12) settled well back last time out then found the line strongly to finish fourth over 800m at this track. Outsprinted in the run home but kept coming and looks suited by the extra ground. Warrants plenty of respect. ECORO DUNES (7) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when second, beaten one length, at this track over 800m. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Solid claims on best form.

Second run back. First-up after six months rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 9 at this track on June 20 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Or Du Souverain with 57kg at $15.50. Previously second-up 9th of 16 at Tokyo Dirt on June 8 2025 over 2100m, 14 len behind Trigonic carrying 57.0kg at $17.80. Solid top-three hope.
