Kochi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1300
MOZU GANESA (5) is the horse to beat after stringing together four straight wins, the latest by three lengths at this track when a prohibitive odds-on favourite. His record at this venue is faultless from four starts, and two wins from two attempts at the distance adds further substance. FULFILMENT (2) is the main danger on her best figures, with two wins from three starts at this track and a perfect record with Minoru Miyagawa, though she has to rebound from a plain seventh as odds-on favourite. EMPHASIZE (8) brings honest current form after a second and a last-start neck win at this venue, so he profiles as a genuine place-to-win chance if he holds that level third-up. FURINKAZAN (9) has the track-and-trip record to improve, but last start was too poor to overlook and a return to his third behind FULFILMENT is required.

Finished fifth behind Guerriere Kic in a 3yo COND at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths after settling rearward at big odds. That was at least better than his second last to V Beam the run prior, when beaten over 17 lengths. He is proven at this track and distance and the winning rider returns, but recent margins leave him with plenty to find.

Recent form is hard to recommend, with an eighth behind Meisho Clift at this track last start after settling rearward and finishing well held. He was also ninth to Night Of Bund two back, beaten over 16 lengths after conceding a huge start. The class drop is some help, but he has been unplaced in 23 runs over the past 12 months.

Finished seventh behind Mozu Ganesa at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after having the job ahead and never looking a winning hope. He had been eighth behind Fulfilment before that, beaten over 19 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. Still a maiden after seven starts and has to show far more under race pressure.

Comes in at the top of his game after another dominant win at this track, beating Night Sniper by three lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He had put eight lengths on Meisho Goketsu the start prior and has now built an imposing record, including four wins from four starts at this venue and two from two at the distance. Clearly sets the benchmark again.

Finished ninth behind Guerriere Kic in a 3yo COND at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after conceding a huge start and never threatening. His previous run was no better, coming in last behind V Beam and beaten over 17 lengths. Still a maiden after 14 starts, with no placing from six tries around 1300m, so the task looks steep.

Has struggled to get involved at recent runs, finishing ninth behind Meisho Clift at this track last start when well beaten after giving away a big start. The run prior was an eighth behind Night Of Bund, beaten over 10 lengths in similar fashion. He does have old track-and-trip credentials, but current form and long market prices are major concerns.

Progressed nicely at his second run this campaign, winning by a neck from Val D'Orcia at this track after holding a narrow lead and finding enough late. That followed a solid second to Meisho Clift when beaten three lengths at long odds, so the current form is sound. Third-up and already proven at this venue, he looks a genuine top-three player.

Last start was a clear backward step, finishing last behind Guerriere Kic at this track and well beaten after weakening meekly in the run home. His third to Fulfilment two back was more competitive, beaten five and a half lengths after racing right there without quickening. The track-and-trip record is solid, but he has to rediscover that earlier effort quickly.
