Kochi Race 10 - Race 10 - 1600
SOKKO TARUMAKA (1) resumes as the horse to beat, with a strong record at this venue and a faultless two-start profile around 1600m. He was beaten a length and a half by Inazuma Tailor as an odds-on favourite before the break, but that was still a solid piece of B2 form and his overall track record gives him the right platform fresh. KUSUDAMA (8) is the main danger after consecutive seconds, beaten a neck by Bystol last start and a length and a half by Daoradaora in 3yo+ B3 company prior. His career place rate is excellent and he has never missed a place at this track and distance. APSARA (4) has been around the mark, though WITH YOUR DREAM had her measure last start and she has to turn that line around. WITH YOUR DREAM (6) won that 3yo+ B4 race as odds-on favourite and has a strong track record, but the tailed-off run two back keeps him in the place-to-win mix rather than making him the clear benchmark.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing second to Inazuma Tailor in a 3yo+ B2 at this track, beaten a length and a half as an odds-on favourite. His prior run was plain, but the broader profile is strong: four wins and three places from nine starts at this venue and a win plus a placing from two tries around 1600m. Fresh, proven under these conditions and drawn to run well.

Kept finding the line from an awkward spot when third to Bystol at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths at big odds. The run prior was also a placing, though she was beaten just over seven lengths and only battled on. Her track-and-distance record is sound, but Kusudama beat her recently and she has to find more than recent margins suggest.

Led and was only run down late when third to Excess Return in a 3yo+ B3 at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths at generous odds. That was better than the previous fifth behind Daoradaora, where he did not finish off after being unwanted in betting. He has a modest track-and-distance record, so he appeals more as a place runner than a winning push.

Has been holding her form, finishing third to With Your Dream in a 3yo+ B4 at this track last start after sitting near the top of betting. She had earlier worked home evenly for second behind La La Marcherdroit in 3yo+ C1 grade. Proven around 1600m and already placed twice from two rides for Seishiro Osawa, but she has to sharpen late to turn placings into a win.

Settled rearward and worked into fourth behind Scandinavia at this track last start, beaten four lengths after starting among the outsiders. Two back she was beaten only a nose by Galapagos in a 3yo+ B4, which shows she can be competitive when closer to her best. Her track-and-distance figures are strong enough to keep her in minor calculations if she reproduces that sharper run.

Won a 3yo+ B4 at this track last start, beating Divertir by just under a length as an odds-on favourite after travelling right there throughout. That followed a tailed-off last in 3yo+ B3 company, so the profile is not entirely clean. Still, three wins and a placing from five starts at this venue are hard to ignore, and a repeat of the latest win puts him in the mix.

Came home strongly to grab third behind Ryunosu at this track last start, but the margin was still over 10 lengths and the market only rated him a rough chance. His previous eighth behind Amazing was weaker again, beaten over 20 lengths after settling rearward. A leading stable and race fitness help his place case, but the winning edge is not obvious on current figures.

Finished strongly for second to Bystol at this track last start, beaten a neck after being near the top of betting. Two back he led and was only run down late by Daoradaora in 3yo+ B3 grade, so the form is holding together. With a win and two places from three starts at this track and distance, plus a strong record for Taichi Nagamori, he is a major winning threat.

Worked home evenly for second to Ryunosu in a 3yo+ B2 at this track last start, but he was beaten nine lengths and started at long odds. The run prior was a distant last behind Carte Maitresse after conceding a huge start. His track-and-distance record offers some background merit, yet recent margins leave him with a sizeable task against these.
