Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1300
CHURA WAVE (1) is the one to beat on overall profile, despite resuming from a long break. His record around 1300m is strong for this company, he has already won at this track and distance, and the Yuta Goma association adds another solid plank to the case. KHACHAPURI (6) brings a more awkward recent form line, but she is also proven at this venue and trip, has won with Masayoshi Yamasaki aboard, and looks better suited than her last two margins suggest. TOKEN TAKAHARU (7) has to rebound from a plain eighth, yet his third to Frere Filles two runs back gives him a genuine place-to-win platform if he is sharper early. QUAD MALININ (5) is still a maiden and was beaten a long way last start, but he is third-up, has placed at the distance, and remains in the mix if he recaptures the steadier effort he showed at his previous run.

Returns from a lengthy spell, so readiness is the obvious watch, but his established profile is strong for this grade. Was last seen running third to Smart Franky at this track, albeit never competitive and beaten out of sight, after a second to Odoranya Sonson when near the top of betting. With two wins and six placings around 1300m and a sound record for Yuta Goma, he brings the best overall credentials.

Has been safely held at his past two runs at this venue, most recently sixth to Kiichi Ded Mirror when unwanted in the market and beaten over 18 lengths. The run prior was another distant sixth behind Black Orange at long odds. A class drop gives him some setup relief, but an unplaced record from nine track-and-distance attempts leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Returns after two months off following an even eighth behind One Heart in 3yo+ B1 grade at Nagoya, where he sat behind the leaders and was beaten six and a half lengths. The stronger reference is his previous second to Rock Majesty, beaten a nose at Nagoya. First look at this venue is a query, but the class drop and recent placing pattern give him genuine minor claims.

Recent form has to be treated carefully after a fifth to Comme Le Vent when beaten out of sight, following a seventh behind Frere Filles where he dropped right out. That said, he is a track-and-trip winner, has a win and three placings from eleven starts in the past 12 months, and gets the winning rider back. A bounce is required, but his best this campaign keeps him in the place mix.

Third-up now after a disappointing second-last to Kiichi Ded Mirror, where he was near the top of an open market but beaten a long way. His previous second to Precious Meno reads better on position, though he was still well beaten. With no win from eight starts, he is hard to endorse strongly, but the distance placing and race fitness keep him around the minor-money chances.

Gets a more suitable set-up as a track-and-trip winner with Masayoshi Yamasaki back, a pairing that has already produced a win from two goes. The recent form looks poor, with a seventh to Flan Fizz after being claimed and an out-of-sight last before that, so she is not bombproof. Even so, her better ratings fit this race and the return to a proven scenario keeps her high in the calculations.

Made little impression at this track two weeks ago when eighth to Kiichi Ded Mirror, beaten over 18 lengths after conceding a huge start. His third to Frere Filles the run prior was more encouraging, albeit as an outsider and without a sharp turn of foot. He has placed three times from 16 starts at this track and distance, so a minor cheque is realistic if he begins better.

Has filled fourth at her past two, but both margins were severe and she was at long odds each time. She was never competitive when beaten out of sight behind Comme Le Vent, after another distant fourth to Precious Meno. Her wider career record is respectable, yet she is unplaced in seven attempts at this track and distance, so others look far more convincing.

Has not come on this campaign, finishing ninth to Kiichi Ded Mirror after settling well back and failing to improve, following a distant fifth behind Black Orange. The positives are that he is a track-and-trip winner, is fourth-up, and comes from a strong local stable with two wins from seven starts in the past 12 months. He can improve, but the latest form caps confidence.
