Kochi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1300
THREE KIZUNA HIME (9) is the horse to beat after fighting out a half-length win over 1300m at this track, with the same light weight and rider combination retained. She was respected in betting there, is third-up, and her one run at both this track and distance has produced a win. WONDER MUSE (1) brings the biggest-margin last-start performance, having won by eight lengths as favourite at this venue, and the inside draw gives her another strong platform despite one plain run at Chukyo Dirt prior. REVE ROAD (5) also arrives off a track-and-trip win, getting the better of EDEL KRAFT two weeks ago, and has a genuine chance to confirm that form second-up. EDEL KRAFT (3) has placed at his past two and was only beaten half a length by REVE ROAD last start, though he is still looking for his first win and has to turn narrow misses into a proper winning blow.

Dominated at this track last start, winning a 3yo COND by eight lengths after being sent out favourite and putting a clear margin on Yamanin Rubus. That was a sharp turnaround from her seventh at Chukyo Dirt, where she was unwanted in the market and beaten over 11 lengths. She is already a winner at this track and around 1300m, and that last-start authority makes her a major winning threat again.

Finished eighth at this track last start in a 3yo COND, beaten over 18 lengths after settling a long way back and failing to improve. The run prior was also plain at Niigata Dirt, where she was second last at big odds and beaten over 16 lengths. The class drop is a help, but she remains unplaced from seven starts and has to find a much sharper finish to make the frame.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second as favourite and beaten half a length by Reve Road after being pipped late. He had also run third behind Wonder Muse at this venue two weeks earlier, though beaten nine lengths after battling into the minor money. With two placings from four starts and a prior placing at the distance, he looks a genuine place hope with a winning gap still to bridge.

Has been well beaten at both recent runs at this track, finishing eighth last start at big odds and beaten over 13 lengths after settling rearward. The start prior was weaker again, when she finished a distant last behind Sunrise Judge. A class drop and rider return are positives on paper, but 25 starts for one placing and no track-and-distance placing from 15 attempts leave her with a steep task.

Resumed with a determined win at this track, landing a 3yo COND over 1300m by half a length from Edel Kraft after letting down strongly in a tight finish. His previous campaign had ended with a well-beaten Kokura run at big odds, but he has returned in much better order. Now one from one at both the track and distance, he has the right profile to be a strong winning chance again.

Was never in the race at this track last start, finishing second last and beaten a long way after conceding a huge start. His previous sixth at this venue was also safely held, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. He has managed just one placing from 22 starts and only one from 13 at this track and distance, so the class drop is not enough to make him appealing.

Started favourite at this track last start but finished last, beaten over 13 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. Two back he was eighth at this venue, beaten over 14 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. His earlier track-and-distance placings show some ability, but the current campaign has gone backwards and he has to rediscover that older form quickly.

Worked into a placing at this track last start, finishing third behind Reve Road, but the margin was still seven and a half lengths and he only battled on. His previous fourth behind Wonder Muse was similar, with a fair finish but a nine-and-a-half-length gap. The recent trend is better, and he has placed at this venue and distance, yet he must close the margin on the main chances.

Lifted strongly at this track last start, winning a 3yo COND over 1300m by half a length from Real Paradise after looming and fighting hard late. That followed an eighth at Chukyo when big odds, but she has clearly responded since switching to this venue. She stays at 52kg, has won her only start at both the track and distance, and third-up looks well placed to go on with the job.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing tenth at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just over seven lengths when handy enough but unable to finish off. The run prior at Chukyo Dirt was weaker, beaten over 13 lengths after making no headway. He now changes trainer and drops in class, but remains unplaced from six starts and is also unplaced from three goes around 1300m, so the place case is limited.
