Kochi Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400

LIBERTY FLAME (11) sets the standard after a dominant last-start win at Kochi, where he was heavily supported into very short odds-on territory and beat Darmstadt by six lengths. His overall profile this season is strong, and the only small reservation is that he is yet to win from four attempts at this track and distance despite placing twice. PHOTOSPHERE (10) is the obvious danger, coming off a five-length win as a dominant favourite and bringing a perfect five-start track record for the quinella. ADLER (4) adds seasoned quality, returning from a two-month freshening after winning a 3yo+ C1 here and boasting an excellent track-and-distance record. BIG SHOW TIME (3) is more a place-based danger than a clear top pick, but his recent third behind Kaiser Blitz and previous C1 effort give him claims if the main chances do not reproduce their latest figures.

Worked home nicely without threatening when fifth behind Debug here last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after being sent around at big odds. His previous sixth behind Al Malikat Saba was stronger, beaten just over five lengths when respected near the top of an open market. A prior win at this track and distance keeps him in the place mix, but he needs to bridge a gap on the main hopes.

Finished last behind Kaiser Blitz here three weeks ago, beaten over 18 lengths after settling a long way back and making no impression. That followed another last in a 3yo+ C2 over 1600m, beaten over 19 lengths by Super Kitty at big odds. His old track-and-trip win does little to offset current form, and he must improve sharply to trouble these.

Placed behind Kaiser Blitz here last start, finishing third and beaten just over four lengths after lacking the turn of foot to make a serious challenge. Two back he was sound in a 3yo+ C1, fifth to Cosmo Luteus and beaten just under three lengths from a rearward position. Shuji Akaoka knows him well, and that recent form gives him a solid minor-money profile.

Returns from a two-month freshening after winning a 3yo+ C1 here, beating Ascii Art by a length when well found in an open market. His previous fourth to Viaduct at the same grade was also respectable, beaten three lengths at generous odds. A five-from-eleven track-and-distance record and strong Minoru Miyagawa partnership make this veteran a serious winning chance again.

Returns from a five-month break after a fourth to Wonderful Today here over 1600m, but he was beaten over 13 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. His previous run was more disappointing, second last behind Neujahr as favourite after coming under pressure late. The stable is strong and his recent-season place rate reads well, yet he must return sharper to be more than a placing chance.

Was never in the picture when last behind Debug here three weeks ago, finishing well held at long odds after giving away too much start. The run prior is the reason for respect: she beat Victory Knight here by a neck after working home over the top, and she has two wins at the distance. Needs to rebound from a poor latest effort, but her best form can earn money.

Kept working but never threatened when sixth behind Debug here last start, beaten over 10 lengths after being unwanted in the market. She had a similar profile two back in a 3yo+ C2 over 1600m, sixth to Baby Boss and beaten over 12 lengths after lacking the dash to compete. Her place record offers minor context, but a breakthrough win still looks a stretch.

Returns from a three-month break after a ninth to Sekisho Idai here over 1600m, beaten over 11 lengths when conceding too much ground early. The start prior was only fair, sixth to Kagemaru and beaten eight and a half lengths. Coming back in trip may help, but her track-and-distance record is winless from 16 attempts, so others bring stronger claims.

Showed more fight when fourth behind Kaiser Blitz here last start, beaten five and a half lengths at long odds after looming without cracking the top three. Her previous seventh behind Sekisho Idai over 1600m was less encouraging, beaten over 10 lengths after fading late. The jockey-horse record is sound, but she needs another step forward to become a major player.

Won with authority here last start, beating Wind Falx by five lengths as a dominant favourite at a very short odds-on quote. That followed a second to Himekamino Itadaki when again strongly fancied, so the market has had him well placed throughout this run. Three wins and two places from five starts at Kochi underline his reliability, and he looks a strong winning chance.

Stamped his authority on the race last start, leading and beating Darmstadt by six lengths after heavy support into very short odds-on territory. He had been solid second to Snow Cruise the run prior, beaten three lengths when near the top of betting. His season has been highly consistent and Yuta Goma has a strong record on him, making him the runner they have to beat.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing ninth behind Hideno Blue Sky here, beaten just under eight lengths when near the top of betting and making no late impression. Two back he passed a few to place behind Cocoli Hakutaku over 1600m, though still beaten six lengths. His place record here gives him some base, but he needs to return much sharper.
