Kochi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1300

COPANO ROCKET (4) First up and put together a strong on-speed performance when 3rd beaten by 3L first up last preparation at Kokura. Mamoru Tanaka stable are running hot lately. Up to these. GARDEN PLANNER (10) Sub-standard effort when 10th last run here. The wide gate shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Can measure up to this company. BLACK ORANGE (11) Was ordinary when 9th last start at the track and dropping in distance. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide alley. Has the ability to figure. SAIMON PLAISIR (3) Ran 7th last time at this track and dropping back to a shorter trip. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Winnable race.

Was never a factor at this track last start, settling a long way back before finishing seventh behind Night Of Bund and beaten over 18 lengths at big odds. The prior fifth behind Flan Fizz was better, but still beaten just over seven lengths. Her 1300m record offers some history, yet recent form says she must find a marked turnaround.

Dropped out late when sixth behind Night Of Bund over 1600m at this track, beaten over 17 lengths after again being unwanted in betting. That followed a last placing behind Frere Filles, where he conceded a huge start and never entered the race. One win at this track and distance is a small positive, but current form leaves him with plenty to prove.

Had too much to do when seventh behind Petal Bijou last start, beaten five and a half lengths, but his prior fifth behind Wind Falx was sound after picking up nicely in the straight. He has won at this track and has a 1300m win on the board, while the rider has also won on him before. The Minatono Sota line is a query, but he remains a genuine winning chance.

Resumes from a five-month break after ending last campaign sixth at this track, beaten over 10 lengths by Ambitieux after tracking the speed and failing to quicken. His Sonoda run before that was also safely held in COND company. Still a maiden, but four placings from 13 starts keep him in the place conversation if ready fresh.

Worked home evenly after leading when fifth behind Frere Filles at this track, but the market expected more and he was beaten nine and a half lengths. His previous Chukyo Dirt ALLOW seventh was sounder than it reads, beaten just under five lengths in a deeper field at big odds. Third-up fitness is the attraction, and that gives him a strong chance to rebound.

Finished a distant last behind Noah Agile at this track over 1600m, giving nothing when placed to improve, and that followed another distant last behind Extra Note. He has three career wins and has scored around this distance before, but he is unplaced in seven starts at this venue. On recent evidence, a major form reversal is required.

Placed last start at this track, but the margin tells the story, with Meisho Yuzuruha beating her out of sight after she settled rearward. Her prior fifth behind Extra Note was more competitive, beaten six and a half lengths when near the top of an open market. Still winless, but three placings from nine starts suggest she can fill a minor spot.

Battled on fairly when fifth behind Night Of Bund last start, though she was still beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. Two back she worked home evenly behind Frere Filles and was again well beaten. Her 1300m record contains a win and seven placings, and she has placed four times in the past year, so she profiles as a rough place hope.

Was never in the race when last behind Night Of Bund at this track, beaten over 20 lengths after giving away a huge start. His third behind Flan Fizz one run earlier was far better, beaten just over a length after knuckling down late. He has placed often at this track and distance without winning, so a placing is more realistic than a breakthrough.

Failed to go on with it when tenth behind Wind Falx at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths after coming under pressure late. The previous second to Extra Note was much stronger, beaten two lengths, and her overall record shows two wins and seven placings from 28 starts. With two placings from three runs at the trip, she has credible place claims.

Finished last behind Waterhouse over 1600m at this track last start, beaten a long way, so she has to leave that run behind. The counterpoint is her previous win at this venue, where she beat Himekamino Itadaki by a neck at long odds. With one win and three placings from nine at this track and distance, she is a rough each-way chance only.

Finished within two and a half lengths of Petal Bijou at this track last start despite producing only a moderate final effort, and the third behind Frere Filles prior had merit after he came from a long way back. He beat Saimon Plaisir and High Criteria recently, has winning form at this track and distance, and his 1300m profile makes him the one to beat.
