Kochi Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
GRAN ORCA (7) Kicked clear when winning by a margin of 9L last run at the track. Won last 3 in succession. Should be swooping on the field late. Respect against this field. WIND FALX (2) Honest race when 3rd last start at this track and has a positive draw. Has the ability to take this out. WIN IMERU (8) Did well when 3rd last run here. Minoru Miyagawa is a pivotal booking. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation. Can fill a place in this field. THE CENTURY (6) Finished 3rd last run at this venue and proven performer at this distance. Will be positive in the run early. Tracking very well this preparation. Good each way value for punters.

Ran second at this track last start but was still beaten nine lengths by Gran Orca after working home evenly from an outsider's price. The start prior was more competitive when fifth in a COND at this venue, beaten just over four lengths, though again at long odds. Her 1400m record has depth, but no win from 11 tries at this track and distance leaves her with plenty to find against the main hopes.

Has held form well, backing up a C3 win at this track with a third to Photosphere last start, beaten just under four lengths after settling back. That win two runs ago had merit, coming at big odds when he worked into the race and beat Mach Raising by a length. He has one win and two places from four starts at this track and distance, which keeps him firmly in the place mix.

Produced a sharp turnaround last start, winning by six lengths at this track as a short odds-on favourite after picking up strongly from off the leader. That followed an eighth to Rhizomatics when beaten six and a half lengths, so there is some unevenness in the profile. Two wins and two places from seven starts at this track and distance make her a realistic place hope if she repeats the latest.

Worked home evenly for third last start, but the margin was still nine lengths behind Al Malikat Saba. His previous run was weaker again when seventh to Win Imeru, beaten over 13 lengths after having too much ground to make up. He has placed three times from seven starts at this track and distance, yet with just one win from 42 starts, a sizeable improvement is required.

Closed off with purpose for second to Altstadt last start, beaten two lengths after having the job ahead. Two back he started favourite in a C3 at this track but could only run fourth behind Wind Falx, beaten three and a half lengths, so that matchup is a small query. His 1400m record is strong, with five wins and two placings from 19 tries, and he has the right race-fit profile to run well again.

Finished third to Debug at this track last start but was beaten nine lengths after only working home evenly. The run prior is the concern, with a last placing behind Baby Boss when never competitive and beaten out of sight despite market respect. His best is clearly better, including three wins from four starts at this track and distance, but recent margins make him hard to trust as a winning threat.

Made it three straight wins with a commanding nine-length success at this track, beating Rouge Blason after controlling the race as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. That followed a narrower C3 win over Altstadt, showing he can deliver both when dominant and when made to work. With three wins from four starts at this venue and the winning rider back aboard, he sets the clear standard and looks the one to beat.

Kept finding strongly for third to Debug last start, beaten three lengths, and that followed a well-supported three-length win over Kaiser Blitz at this track. He has been very reliable at the venue, with two wins and a placing from three starts, and the distance record is equally tidy. Fourth-up and holding his form, he has enough recent substance to make Gran Orca work for it.

Got busy late to run second behind Photosphere last start, beaten three lengths at generous odds. His previous fourth to Debug came from a hopeless position but still left him beaten just over nine lengths, so the form is not as sharp as the placing suggests. The track-and-distance record is sound, with two wins and three places from seven, but he will have to lift again to trouble the better chances.

Comes off a strong win at this track, picking up well to beat Leesan Eye by two and a half lengths. The run prior was also solid in C3 company, when second to Chemin De Roi and beaten only half a length after fighting on. He has 11 career wins and a useful record at this track and distance, though the wider barrier means he profiles more as a genuine place chance than a clear top pick.
