Kochi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400

MUSASHI FUJIN (4) gets the nod in a race where the winning case is built more on reliable Kochi form than recent brilliance. He returns from two months off, but his latest fourth in 3yo+ B2 grade and the close fourth behind Burgmuller two back read well for this, and his six wins at the track and distance give him the strongest base. MIRACLE DREAM (5) is the obvious danger: beaten six and a half lengths as favourite last start, yet his earlier third behind Diamond Fuji and strong overall place record say he can rebound. HIMAWARIKUN (1) has to answer for being beaten over 20 lengths at 1600m, though the return to a proven Kochi 1400m is a clear help. RYUNOSU (7) has also been safely held lately, but three wins and four places from twelve starts at this track and distance make him a legitimate minor-money threat if he finds his better form.

Dropped out to eighth over 1600m at Kochi last start, beaten over 20 lengths after settling rearward, so there is no need to dress that run up. The previous fourth at Saga, beaten just under four lengths by Aitaka, was more competitive. Back to a proven Kochi 1400m, where he has one win and five places from 14, he profiles as a place chance if the latest run is left behind.

Finished second last over 1600m at Kochi last start and was well held at big odds, with no obvious excuse from the run. The start prior was also plain, beaten over 13 lengths by Berlinetta after getting well back and making no impression. A return to a winning trip offers some context, but recent form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Was never competitive and beaten out of sight at Kochi last start after conceding a huge start, which followed a sixth over 1600m here when beaten over 10 lengths by Mizuwario Kudasai. His overall record is strong, but the current form pattern is hard to recommend. Even with a class drop, he needs a much cleaner and stronger effort.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fourth in a 3yo+ B2 at Kochi, beaten just over four lengths by Snow Horn Road at generous odds. His previous fourth over 1600m here, beaten just over a length by Burgmuller, was the stronger reference. With six wins and 14 places from 55 at this track and distance, he has the right profile to be the main winning chance.

Failed to fire as favourite in a 3yo+ B2 over 1600m at Kochi last start, finishing fifth and beaten six and a half lengths after racing in touch without threatening. The run prior was better, working home evenly for third behind Diamond Fuji. Back to a track and distance where he has a win and four places from eight, he can bounce back if sharper late.

Finished last in a 3yo+ B2 over 1600m at Kochi last start, beaten over 16 lengths after conceding a big start and never getting involved. The run prior in 3yo+ AB grade was also from well back, finishing second last behind Thunder Zeus while unwanted in the market. He has past wins, but recent efforts point firmly to improvement required.

Was sixth in a 3yo+ B2 over 1600m at Kochi last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Carte Maitresse after settling rearward and making no impression late. He was also well back two starts ago behind Snow Horn Road. The counter is a strong Kochi 1400m record of three wins and four places from twelve, so he is more a place hope than a clear win play.

Started a well-supported favourite at Kochi last start but weakened badly to finish seventh over 1600m, beaten over 18 lengths by Amazing. His previous Chukyo run over 3000m was also a long way below the mark. The drop back in trip and one prior win at this distance help a little, but he is unplaced in six starts this season and needs conditions to fall his way.
