Kochi Race 6 - Race 6 - 1300
MEISHO CLIFT (8) is the horse to beat after stringing together two authoritative wins at this track, most recently scoring by nine lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite. His record at this venue and around 1300m gives the winning case real substance, and he has the current form edge. SCUBA (7) is the clearest danger, having finished second at his past two runs, including when run down late as favourite by Tani Noble. He has been placing consistently without winning, so the task is to convert that reliability. KURUMA TORASAN (4) resumed with a third at this venue and brings stronger old grade references from a 3yo+ A1 at Mombetsu, though the margin last start keeps him more of a qualified threat. MOTO SAN (1) has put two thirds together, was only beaten two lengths last start and profiles as a genuine placing hope again if he holds that level.

Has put together consecutive thirds at this track, most recently beaten two lengths by Tani Noble after tracking the speed and working home evenly. The start prior was also sound when beaten just under two lengths by Night Of Bund at long odds. He is yet to win from 11 starts around 1300m but has placed five times, and the rider has placed on him twice. Solid minor claims again.

Worked home fairly for fourth at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths by Flan Fizz, which was at least a cleaner effort than his previous fifth when never competitive and beaten out of sight. The class drop and rider switch help the setup, but a 31-start maiden record and only two placings around 1300m temper confidence. A minor placing is the realistic target.

Second-up after finishing last at this track, beaten a long way by Comme Le Vent at big odds after settling rearward and giving further ground late. He was also well held at this venue two back, beaten over 17 lengths by Keiai Shelby. The one positive is a prior win at this track and distance, but his current form has to lift sharply before he appeals.

Resumed with a third at this track behind Precious Meno, although the beaten margin was a long way and he was near the top of betting. His previous run came in a 3yo+ A1 at Mombetsu when never likely behind Boiler House, so the class context is kinder now. A 40% overall place rate and proven 1300m record keep him in the each-way discussion.

Has been well beaten at her past two starts at this venue, most recently sixth behind Comme Le Vent when never competitive and beaten out of sight. The run prior was also plain, finishing fifth and beaten over 14 lengths by Frere Filles after making no headway. Unplaced in three track-and-distance runs, she must show far more to threaten.

Returns from a five-month break after ending his last preparation with two poor runs at this track, including a last behind Frosty Quartz when finished well held. The broader record is better than that recent form, with two wins and four placings from 13 starts at this track and distance. If freshened up, he has enough venue substance to chase a minor placing.

Has been knocking on the door, finishing second at this track in both recent runs. Last start he led and was run down late by Tani Noble as favourite, beaten a length and a half, after a six-length second to Keiai Shelby the run prior. He has placed in all three starts at this track and distance and stays under notice with Taichi Nagamori aboard.

Comes in off two commanding wins at this track, the latest a nine-length success over Plumeria Kuhio when sent out a very short odds-on favourite and never in danger. He had also beaten Emphasize by three lengths the start prior, so the form is both current and decisive. With five wins around 1300m and an unbeaten track record, he sets the standard clearly.
