Kochi Race 11 - Race 11 - 1600
MACHAON D'OR (9) Came in 4th last start around here. Happy to forgive that run. Performing impressively this preparation. Suitably placed in this race. KONIG BLUT (10) Below par when 7th last run at this track but strong performer at this trip in the past. Must be considered. SERIO VELOCE (7) Ran 6th last time at the track. Yuuji Uchikoshi stable are having a great run of late. Will give a big sight. BANDONEON (5) Finished 5th last start here. Will be motoring home late. Taichi Nagamori is an advantage. Can go on with it.

Worked home neatly for fifth behind Wind Falx over 1400m at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths after again starting at long odds. His previous fourth behind Dixie Vogue was another sound effort, and he had Minatono Sota behind him that day. With weight relief, a class drop and two wins from 14 attempts around 1600m, he brings the right profile to convert recent consistency into a win.

Finished strongly from a difficult position when third behind Frere Filles over 1400m at this track, beaten five lengths at long odds. The run prior was plain when second last to Dixie Vogue, but that latest effort showed he can still finish off when the race sets up. He has placed around this distance and, despite the recent Saimon Plaisir defeat, remains a live winning chance.

Was well below her best when tenth behind Photosphere over 1400m at this track, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds, and there was no clear excuse. Her fourth to Kaiser Blitz the start before had more merit, as she loomed and kept battling. A class drop, winning rider back and two wins from seven at this track and distance give her enough substance for minor claims.

Lifted last start when fourth behind Chemin De Roi over 1400m at this track, beaten three and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market and picking up nicely late. His previous sixth was safely held, but the return to a proven track-and-distance setup and a winning rider back are positives. He looks a strong danger with the right recent platform.

Resumed with a midfield fifth behind Photosphere over 1400m at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds. That was not a winning performance, but he is second-up now and his record around 1600m reads well, with three wins and three placings from 11 starts. With a leading jockey and stable in his corner, he has a credible place case.

Has been well held in two recent runs, most recently seventh behind Altstadt over 1400m at this track when beaten over 12 lengths at big odds and lacking a change of gears. The start before was also safely held after racing just off the lead. His track-and-distance record is a small positive, but current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Was only fair first-up when sixth behind Photosphere over 1400m at this track, beaten nine lengths at long odds. He is fitter second-up and has the right grounding for this trip, having won and placed from four starts at this track and distance. The stable profile is another plus, although he has to sharpen to turn that setup into a winning threat.

Finished sixth behind Altstadt over 1400m at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after being unwanted in the market, and was never a winning hope. She had been beaten over 19 lengths by Gran Orca the run prior, so the recent evidence is thin. Her overall place record is respectable, but she will have to lift sharply to trouble these.

Ran fourth behind Altstadt over 1400m at this track last start, but was still beaten just over nine lengths and did not quicken. Two back he made some late ground behind Gran Orca, though the margin was over 18 lengths. His track record is much better than those recent margins suggest, so he is capable of improving without looking a leading hope.

Has gone backwards in two recent runs, finishing seventh behind Altstadt when beaten over 12 lengths after travelling handy but failing to finish off. The start prior was worse, last behind Gran Orca and well held after settling miles back. His track-and-distance record is excellent, but current form makes him very hard to recommend with confidence.

Was unwanted in the market and beaten over 11 lengths when seventh behind Photosphere over 1400m at this track last start. He did at least pick up late when fifth to Debug the run prior, but that was still a nine-and-a-half-length defeat at big odds. A past win at this venue helps only slightly, and he must produce a far stronger finish to feature.
