Kochi Race 6 - Race 6 - 1600
TRUE KNIGHT (1) Finished 2nd last start around here and ideal trip as proven previously. Recent form of the stable is strong and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Among better hopes. BIG BAND (4) Winner by 1L last start at this venue. Displays good tactical speed. Looks to be value. LALA JACARANDA (2) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at the track and drawn nicely. Shows good early pace. Showing improvement in recent outings. Will be around the mark at odds. EXTRA NOTE (8) Scored a victory by 2L last time here. Undefeated last 2 attempts. Watch it go close.

Resumed with a sound second at this track over 1400m, beaten a length by Frere Filles after working home evenly and starting near the top of an open market. His Mizusawa third before the break came in 3yo+ B2 company when favourite, and his distance record reads strongly with two wins around 1600m. Second-up with that grounding, he has the right profile to be a major winning chance.

Finished off well for second to Big Band at this track last start, beaten a length at generous odds, and had earlier held third behind Photosphere after leading over 1300m. The form is honest enough and he has a strong overall record, but this is his first look around 1600m and he was behind a rival he meets again. Capable of a minor cheque if he runs the trip.

Worked home evenly for second at this track last start but was still beaten five lengths by Altstadt at long odds. His previous fourth behind Win Imeru was fair without threatening, and he now tackles around 1600m for the first time. The class drop offers some help, but with no win in the past 12 months he has to find more than recent figures suggest.

Returned to winning form at this track last start, beating Lala Jacaranda by a length after travelling close enough and quickening well. He had also been third behind Dixie Vogue the start prior, so his recent form is reliable, and his track record is excellent. The issue is 1600m, where he has yet to win or place, which makes him a strong place chance rather than a clear top pick.

Returned with a good second to Extra Note at this track, beaten two lengths after finishing off strongly, and that followed a narrow win over Garden Planner at this venue in July. He is honest enough, but Extra Note had his measure last time and his record on good tracks is plain. Well placed to run respectably, though others bring sharper winning claims.

Produced the right lead-up when second to Wind Falx at this track over 1400m, beaten a length after working home evenly at double-figure odds. Two back he was fourth to Photosphere and did not quicken, but his broader record at this venue is sound and the class profile suits. The 1600m record is a query, yet his recent form makes him the horse they have to beat.

Arrives in peak form after consecutive wins at this track, most recently beating Waterhouse by two lengths over 1400m as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He had also scored by two lengths over 1300m after heavy market support, and his record with Takuya Okamura is excellent. Proven at this venue and around 1600m, he is a serious threat again.

Backs up quickly after running second to Meisho Yuzuruha at this track, although he was beaten a long way despite finishing off from well back. His third behind Extra Note two starts ago was a more balanced guide, beaten four lengths at generous odds. The rider-horse record is sound and he can be competitive for a placing, but the winning case is not as strong.

Led and held on to beat Himekamino Itadaki by a neck at this track last start, but the market missed her completely and the margin was narrow. Her previous fourth behind Dixie Vogue was a safely held effort after being swamped late. A prior win at this venue is a plus, yet the first try around 1600m leaves her with plenty to prove against stronger profiles.
