Kochi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1300
V BEAM (5) is the one to beat after clearing out to win a 3yo COND at this track by two lengths, with Bari King in second, and the same jockey has already clicked with her. That win followed a fourth as odds-on favourite, so the latest effort looks the right platform. GUERRIERE KIC (9) has the most direct danger profile, having won by two lengths at this venue a fortnight ago and holding a strong record at this track and distance, although she was behind V BEAM the start prior. VIVID PINK (10) brings a different angle after charging late to miss by a neck behind Flan Fizz, and that sharp finish makes her a genuine threat if she repeats it. BOLD STATE (3) is still a maiden after 23 starts, but his place record and recent third keep him in the minor mix rather than as a clear winning play.

Worked home evenly when second to Guerriere Kic in a 3yo COND at this track last start, beaten two lengths after starting at long odds. That was a clear lift on her previous eighth behind V Beam, when she conceded a huge start and was never in the race. Her record of two wins and five places from eight starts at this track and distance keeps her in the each-way conversation, but others have a stronger winning edge.

Has been well held at both recent runs, finishing second last at this track when beaten over 11 lengths by Tani Noble after conceding a huge start. The start prior was worse, finishing last behind Precious Meno and beaten out of sight as one of the outsiders. He has won at this track and distance, but current form gives little reason to be confident unless he finds a major turnaround.

Made some progress to run third behind Meisho Clift at this track last start, though the beaten margin was still over 12 lengths and he was again at long odds. His previous fifth behind Night Of Bund was more competitive, beaten just over four lengths before failing to finish it off. Still winless after 23 starts, but eight placings show he can be included for exotics rather than trusted to break through.

Returns from a four-month break after ending his last preparation with two heavy defeats at this track, finishing last behind Katsutenai Oishisa on both occasions and well beaten by 24 lengths at the latest. The broader record is not without merit, with three wins from 13 starts and a solid place strike at this track and distance. Even so, he must return much sharper to trouble the main hopes.

Produced the right response last start, winning a 3yo COND at this track by two lengths from Bari King after getting clear and holding them safely. That followed a fourth behind A To Z when sent out odds-on, so the latest effort reads as a strong correction. Taichi Nagamori stays aboard and the pair have a good record together. With confidence restored, she has the form to take beating again.

Returns from a three-month break for a new stable after finishing eighth at Kawasaki in his final run before the spell, beaten over 13 lengths by Hollywood Blues when under pressure late. His earlier Fukushima Dirt run was also plain, finishing last and unwanted in the market. A win at around 1300m is a positive, and the stable profile helps, but he appeals more as a place hope fresh.

Improved at this venue last start when fifth behind Tani Noble, beaten just under four lengths after being near the top of betting, although he was only fair late. His Sapporo Dirt run before that was well below the mark, finishing second last and beaten over 18 lengths. Still a maiden after 14 starts with only one placing, so he can fill a minor slot if that latest lift holds.

Led them a merry dance at this track a fortnight ago, beating Josho Briller by two lengths in a 3yo COND and recording another win at her favoured venue and distance. Two starts back she was fourth behind V Beam, but the late work that day was sound and she has since answered strongly. With four wins and two places from 15 starts at this track and distance, she is a genuine winning threat.

Nearly landed the prize last start when second to Flan Fizz at this track, beaten a neck after picking up impressively late. That was a significant lift on her seventh behind Night Of Bund, where she had too much to do and never looked likely. The overall record of one win from 41 starts tempers the enthusiasm, but the latest finish puts her right among the key chances if repeated.
