Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1900

PREFLOP ALL IN (11) Placed 3rd last start at Kanazawa and strong form at this distance. Hiroto Yoshihara and Yuuji Uchikoshi make an imposing pair. Better hope. ESKEN DREAM (2) Ran 4th last start at this track. Looking for an improved run and racing over a longer distance. Taichi Nagamori is a key booking and has a positive draw. Can get the job done. LYRA BOND (9) Really dug deep when winning last start here and stepping up in trip. Recent form of Yuuji Uchikoshi is strong. Has the ability to figure. SANONO ESPO (12) Came in 4th last start at Nagoya. Will be around the mark at odds.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th of 8 at this track on September 13 over 1300m, 8 len behind Shamal carrying 57kg at $12. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track on August 2 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Mizuwario Kudasai carrying 57kg at $2. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
