Kochi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1300
BARI KING (7) brings the strongest overall profile, with four wins and three placings from eight starts and a particularly strong record at this track and distance. He was beaten six and a half lengths last start when well found in betting, but he worked home soundly behind Guerriere Kic and his second to V Beam the run prior keeps him right in this. PLUMERIA KUHIO (2) is the main danger after a second at this venue when near the top of betting, and the drop back from that heavy Niigata Dirt defeat two runs ago gives him a much more suitable platform. CESA SONG (4) has the clearest track-and-trip credentials of the dangers, with three wins and two placings from seven attempts, and his latest third behind Guerriere Kic reads well enough to make him a serious threat. SHISHI RAMMAN (10) was much better last start when fourth to Hot Rod Star, closing from well back, and her record with Seiya Tatara gives her genuine minor claims if she repeats that effort.

Ran fourth behind Guerriere Kic in a 3yo COND at this track last start, beaten six lengths after settling rearward at big odds. The prior second to Fulfilment was a better piece of form, but he remains winless from 19 starts and has only one placing from six attempts at this track and distance. Having been beaten by Cesa Song last time, he has to find more to trouble the main hopes.

Lifted sharply when second at this venue last start, beaten nine lengths by Meisho Clift after racing right there but lacking the winner's turn of foot. His Niigata Dirt run prior in 3yo+ ALLOW grade was a complete forgive on performance, and this is a far more suitable assignment. With market respect last time and a placing from his only run at this track, he rates as a strong winning chance.

Finished last at this track in both recent runs, beaten over 20 lengths each time and offering no response from a long way back. The market has shown little interest, and being unplaced in all 25 starts across the past 12 months underlines the task. Even with a class drop noted, his current form is too poor to recommend with confidence.

Worked home evenly for third behind Guerriere Kic in a 3yo COND at this track last start, beaten three lengths despite being unwanted in the market. That was a clear return to something like his best after a plain sixth to V Beam. His record at this track and distance is the key: three wins and two placings from seven attempts. That proven profile makes him a major winning player.

Has been well held in two recent 3yo COND runs at this track, finishing ninth behind V Beam before running second last to Guerriere Kic, beaten over 12 lengths. She was unwanted in the market last time and had no clear excuse after conceding a big start. The class drop helps and she has won within the past 12 months, but improvement is required for an each-way result.

Finished fourth to Meisho Clift at this track last start, but the margin was over 12 lengths and he again settled rearward. His previous third behind Keiai Shelby also came with a margin beyond 13 lengths, so the placings do flatter the raw form. He has placed twice from three starts at this track and distance, yet others bring sharper winning credentials.

Owns the standout profile with four wins and three placings from eight starts, including three wins and one placing from five attempts at this track and distance. He was beaten six and a half lengths by Guerriere Kic last start as a well-found runner, but worked home well just behind the placegetters. His second to V Beam two runs back was solid, and the overall record makes him the horse to beat.

Was safely held when eighth behind Guerriere Kic at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after giving himself too much to do. His fifth to V Beam before that was also only fair, despite being closer in the market. A track-and-trip win sits in the background, but recent efforts leave him looking well short of the main chances.

Worked home fairly when fifth to Meisho Clift at this track last start, but he was beaten over 16 lengths and never threatened at long odds. The run prior was another distant fourth behind Keiai Shelby. Weight relief is a small positive, yet he is unplaced in 12 previous starts around 1300m, so a major form turnaround is required.

Produced an eye-catching fourth behind Hot Rod Star in a 3yo COND at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths after having many lengths to make up. That was a sharp rebound from a long-odds seventh behind V Beam. Her record with Seiya Tatara is a useful support, with a win and a placing from two pairings, and she profiles as a genuine place hope.

Finished sixth behind Tani Noble at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. Her previous run was weaker again, finishing second last behind Night Of Bund by over 19 lengths. Still a maiden after 33 starts and unplaced in 11 with this jockey, she has a difficult task.
