Kochi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1300
MAONO SAILING (2) Was rock solid when winning by a margin of 4L last start at this venue and has a good draw. Showing great form this preparation and solid career start. Expect to go close. THREE GOING (4) Was competitive when 2nd last run at this track. Should jump out and bowl along. Has run into the placings at every start this campaign. Good prospects. BLACK PATROL (10) Struggled when 5th last start here but showing consistent performance in races. Taichi Nagamori is a bonus. In a purple patch of form since returning from a spell. Can take this out. KABACHITARE (3) In the money when 2nd last time here and putting a tidy record together so far. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. Could be a value selection.

Produced a sharp turnaround at this track last start, working home over the top to win by a length from Energy Lumiere after starting among the outsiders. That came after he was never competitive and beaten out of sight behind Nine Smile, so the reliability question remains. Proven at the track and trip and drawn low, he has genuine place claims if the latest effort is repeated.

Dominant winner over this track and distance last start, travelling behind the lead before quickening clear to score by four lengths as favourite. He had been beaten over 10 lengths by Sansan Kic the run prior, but the latest performance was the strongest recent piece of form in this field. With one win and one placing from three starts at the course and trip, he sets a clear benchmark.

Led last start and was run down by Maono Sailing, finishing second but still beaten four lengths in a race where she was near the top of an open market. The run prior was a fourth behind Sansan Kic when unwanted in betting, albeit she did work home. Two placings from three starts at this track and distance keep her in the mix for minors, but she has more to find to win.

Has made a sound start to her career, winning on debut at this track by two lengths from Maono Sailing before running second to Sansan Kic, beaten three lengths. She was near the top of an open market there and again held her form. With one win and one placing from two starts at both the venue and distance, she looks the main danger to the favourite.

Placed on debut at this track but the bare result flatters her, as she was well beaten in a four-runner field behind Jack Arthur after failing to quicken. She was respected in betting, which gives some hope of natural second-up improvement, and the stable has local strength. Even so, she will have to find a much sharper finish to threaten this field.

Was plain when fourth behind Rikea Bolero last start, looming up before failing to go on and finishing beaten over 10 lengths after being unwanted in the market. His previous run is the key, having won at this track by a length and a half from Sansan Kic while kept going strongly. One win from four at the track and distance gives him enough substance to bounce back strongly.

Settled rearward and finished fifth behind Maono Sailing last start, beaten seven and a half lengths when near the top of an open market. His debut second behind Bear Magnum also reads cautiously, as he finished well held in a small field. He is race fit and lightly raced, but the exposed form leaves him with a fair bit to make up.

Led and boxed on evenly for fourth behind Royal Quark last start, beaten three lengths in a five-runner field. That was a better effort than her previous eighth behind Rikea Bolero, where she was beaten over 14 lengths at long odds. With only one placing from four starts at around this distance, she looks more likely to chase a minor cheque than win.

Finished last behind Rikea Bolero last start and was well held after starting at long odds, with no clear excuse offered by the run. Her debut second behind Alta Mogiana also came with a heavy margin, so the form has to be treated carefully. The class drop and third-up timing help a little, but she must lift a long way to be competitive.

Tracked the speed last start but did not finish off when last of five behind Royal Quark, beaten just over three lengths in a compact finish. His previous third behind Sansan Kic came at big odds and he has placed twice from three starts around this trip. With the winning rider back aboard, he has enough consistency to be a realistic place hope.
