Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1600
DIXIE VOGUE (8) Ran well when 3rd last start at this venue. Racing consistently this prep. Definite claims. ARC OF LIFE (5) Moderate showing when 6th last start at this venue. Has shown early pace in races to date. Must be considered. GLINT RITTER (11) Below expectations when 9th last run at this venue. Will be trying to topple them late. Can go on with it. HAND RANGE (2) Ran 4th last run at this track but has a positive gate. Does take a while to get into stride. Won't be far away and represents an each way player.

Has struggled to make an impact at the latest two runs, finishing second last behind Altstadt at this track and beaten over 15 lengths after coming under pressure late. The start prior was a seventh to Win Imeru when unwanted in the market. His record at around 1600m is sound enough, but he was recently beaten by Dixie Vogue and Glint Ritter and must find a sharp turnaround to threaten.

Returned with a fourth at this track behind Photosphere, beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds, which was a fairer effort than her ninth at the previous run when she conceded a huge start and never got into the race. The class drop helps and she has enough career depth to be competitive, though her winning edge is still the query. Profiles as a realistic place hope second-up.

Recent form is hard to recommend, with a last placing behind Chemin De Roi after weakening badly late and a prior eighth to Debug when beaten over 12 lengths. He was at long odds last start and had been big odds the run before, so the market has not offered much encouragement. A class drop is some help, but he must show far more finish to get involved.

Has been beaten a long way at both recent runs, finishing second last behind Photosphere before a last placing behind Kaiser Blitz when unwanted in the market. The long-term profile is also a concern, with no placing from 22 starts in the past 12 months. His past track-and-trip win is noted, but current form gives little reason to be confident.

Won well enough at Mombetsu two back, leading and holding Win Galant by a head as one of the favoured runners. She then failed to run on when sixth behind Kaiser Blitz at this track, beaten over 13 lengths, so the step back to her better level of performance is important. The 1600m record is the question, but five wins from 21 starts gives her a strong base to bounce back.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a heavy defeat behind The Century, where she was never competitive and was unwanted in the market. Earlier in that campaign she had shown her better side, beating Real City by six lengths at this venue. With two wins and one placing from seven starts at this track and distance, she has a genuine place case if ready fresh.

Has lost form quickly since winning earlier in the sequence, finishing ninth behind Photosphere last start when unwanted in the market and last behind Debug two back after giving away a big start. She has a previous win around 1600m and drops in grade, but the latest margins are too severe to overlook. A major form reversal is required.

Arrives with the strongest recent profile, having won at this track two back over 1300m as a dominant odds-on favourite before running third to Altstadt last start, beaten just over five lengths. She has two wins and a placing from three starts at this venue and a sharp overall record of five wins from 14. The 1600m record is the one caveat, but her current form and track record make her the one to beat.

Returns from a three-month break after a plain finish to last campaign, when eighth in 3yo+ C2 company behind Misterio at this track and beaten over 14 lengths. The start before was another well-held effort in 3yo+ C2 grade behind Buber. Dropping to C3 and getting a winning rider back are positives, but his poor track-and-distance record leaves others with stronger claims.

Failed to finish behind Photosphere last start, so that result is difficult to assess, but his previous third to Kaiser Blitz was sound enough when beaten just over four lengths and near the top of betting. He also holds a recent line over Arc Of Life and has one win and one placing from three starts at this track and distance. More reliable as a place prospect than a clear winning push.

Had little impact when ninth behind Wind Falx last start after being near the top of an open market, but his previous third to Win Imeru was a much stronger guide when he worked home well and was beaten two lengths. His track record is a major asset, with two wins and six placings from twelve starts at this venue. If he returns to that prior effort, he is a serious winning danger.
