Kochi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1300
PALMGREN (1) Was rock solid when winning by a margin of 3L last time at the track on a heavy track and fitter for debut run. Likely to be well placed early. Will be around the mark at odds. SPICE TOWN (6) Placed 2nd last start at this track. Has run into the money at every start this campaign. Mamoru Tanaka stable are in good form of late. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . BLACK PATROL (2) Finished 5th last time around here. Is capable of a resurgence and has a positive gate. Great to see jockey Taichi Nagamori taking the ride. Up to these. THREE GOING (7) Finished 6th last start around here. Giving another chance here and showing consistent performance in races. Displays good tactical speed. Exhibiting good form this preparation. Genuine threat.

Made the perfect start on debut at this track, winning by three lengths after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. She travelled like the right horse, kicked clear and beat Flower Hope S with authority. Now second-up from the inside draw, her one-from-one record at this venue and distance gives her the cleanest winning profile in the race.

Worked from rearward when fifth behind Haruga Kita last start, beaten two and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. The run prior was another fifth in a small field, where he tracked the speed but did not finish it off. He has placed twice from four starts around 1300m, so the profile is genuine for a minor placing rather than a strong winning push.

Went close at this track four weeks ago, finishing second to Royal Quark when beaten half a length at generous odds. That was a clear step back in the right direction after being beaten over 14 lengths by Sansan Kic, when she conceded a big start and never entered the race. Her 1300m record shows two placings from four, but she still shapes as an each-way hope requiring the same sharpness as last time.

Disappointed as favourite last start, finishing seventh behind Haruga Kita and beaten six and a half lengths after sitting close enough but offering little when required. Two back he was fourth to Rikea Bolero, beaten over 10 lengths at big odds. A track-and-trip win is in the book, yet his latest figures leave him with a fair bit to turn around.

Was last behind Haruga Kita at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds after settling a long way off them and never looking likely. His previous run was much better, working home over the top to beat Energy Lumiere by a length at long odds. That win keeps him in the wider mix, but he is hard to trust off the latest effort.

Comes through a strong last-start second to Haruga Kita at this track, beaten just under a length after finishing off well from generous odds. Her debut second was well held behind Jack Arthur, but she has now placed in both starts, both at this venue and distance. Third-up and still lightly raced, she brings the most reliable challenge to Palmgren.
