Kochi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
IN YOUR EYES (10) brings the strongest exposed profile, resuming from a five-month break after consecutive seconds at Kochi when heavily fancied. Her record at this track and distance reads well, and the leading jockey-trainer combination adds further weight to the case, though she still has to convert after twice being beaten as odds-on favourite. MEISHO HABOMAI (3) is the harder runner to assess: the latest Chukyo run was plain when last and beaten over 13 lengths, but the class relief is significant enough to keep him high in calculations. BIG BAND (2) is the reliable danger, having placed at his past two Kochi runs and boasting an excellent record with Seiya Tatara. LALA JACARANDA (5) improved into third last start and has a stronger career strike-rate than most here, but he still needs to bridge a margin on the top chances.

Was safely held when ninth behind Photosphere at Kochi last start, beaten over 13 lengths after settling a long way back and never getting into the race. The run prior was more encouraging, closing off for fifth behind The Century when beaten just over four lengths at big odds. She has track-and-trip credentials, but needs to be closer in the run to turn that into a genuine winning threat.

Continues to race with admirable consistency, finishing third behind Dixie Vogue here last start after having the job ahead and working home into the money. He was also third behind Snow Cruise the run prior, and his record with Seiya Tatara is a strong supporting factor. Still seeking a win from three attempts at this track and distance, but he brings one of the sounder profiles in the race.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last behind Valsecito over 1600m at Chukyo, beaten over 13 lengths after settling well back and failing to improve. His Kokura run prior was better, beaten four and a half lengths behind Danon Prima without ever looking a winning hope. The class relief is the main appeal, and if that sparks improvement he can turn his form around sharply.

Dropped out tamely when seventh behind Liberty Flame here last start, beaten over 15 lengths after giving little in the run home. That was a clear backward step from her previous Kochi win, where she beat Castle Baji O by a length and a half and maintained a clear margin to the line. Proven at this track and distance, but she must recapture that winning version quickly.

Improved when third behind Photosphere at Kochi last start, beaten five and a half lengths after leading and battling away to the line at generous odds. That was a better effort than his second-last behind The Century, where he was beaten over 11 lengths after offering little. His overall record is strong for this field, and holding the latest level gives him a realistic place chance.

Was well beaten by 20 lengths behind Gran Orca here last start after sitting just off the leaders and failing to pick up. His previous run was also weak, finishing second last behind Or Du Souverain and beaten over 16 lengths when unwanted in the market. One win from 20 at the track and distance gives some context, but recent form leaves him with plenty to repair.

Was unwanted in the market and well beaten by 20 lengths behind Gran Orca at Kochi last start, conceding a huge start and only finishing fairly. She had made some late ground when fifth behind Token Kumi the run prior, beaten just over seven lengths, but the recent margins remain a concern. Her long track-and-distance record is respected, yet she needs a stronger finishing effort.

Finished last behind Photosphere at Kochi last start, beaten over 14 lengths at long odds after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. The fourth behind Token Kumi two runs back was more respectable, though still beaten just over six lengths. Unplaced in eight starts at this track and distance, he needs more than a small improvement to make an impact.

Has been well held in both recent runs, finishing second last behind Liberty Flame here most recently when beaten over 17 lengths after making no late impression. Her previous eighth in a 3yo+ C2 over 1600m was also plain, beaten over 18 lengths behind Baby Boss. She has placed three times from ten starts in the past 12 months, but must lift sharply to be more than a rough place hope.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing second behind Meisho Hosen at Kochi, beaten just under a length when heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. She was also runner-up to Royal Dance the start prior as an odds-on favourite, so the winning edge needs to return. Even so, one win and two places from three at this track and distance make her a major player fresh.
