Kochi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
GRADUEL (4) hasn't featured at her last two runs, the latest when beaten 5 lengths into 13th at Niigata. Is very well placed in this inferior company. Should bounce back. YAMAME KNIGHT (3) has been out of the frame at his last couple of runs, last time finishing 17 lengths away in 11th over 1800m. Much better placed this time. BENTEN KAGURA (5) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish seventh over 1300m at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. TOA AGNES (6) resumes from a spell of four months and is having her first outing under new trainer Shinji Kudo. Finished 13th at Niigata over 1000m at the opening run last time in work.

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, 16th of 18 at Tokyo on May 31 over 1600m, 13 len behind Trans Mare with 55.0kg at $51.90. Last start eased back early on 12th of 15 at Fukushima Dirt on July 19 over 1700m, 19 len behind Artillery carrying 55.0kg at $116.50. Impossible to tip with any confidence.
