Kochi Race 6 - Race 6 - 1600
SPEED SOLDIER (6) First up after a break. Chimed in with a win by 2L last run here. Has early speed and positions nicely. Great to see jockey Minoru Miyagawa taking the ride. Underrated. REWARD IMPERIO (4) Back from a break. Ran 2nd last start at the track. Taichi Nagamori does know the horse very well. Up to these. MORNING HAZE (1) Came in 6th last start at this venue. Giving another chance here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Likely threat. COPANO CURACAO (5) Clearly outclassed when 10th last time around here. Mamoru Tanaka stable are on a hot streak. One at a decent price.

Finished sixth at this track over 1400m last time, beaten just over seven lengths after conceding a huge start and never really getting into the race. The start prior was a more encouraging second, albeit beaten four lengths by Konoyoruo Tometeyo. He is a proven 1600m performer and has a strong record with Seiya Tatara, so he remains a sound place hope if he begins cleanly.

Had market respect when sixth at this track over 1400m two weeks ago, settling rearward and finishing three and a half lengths from Inazuma Tailor. Her previous third in a COND was sound from big odds, but she again finished behind Meisho Inuwashi last time. Two wins at this venue help, though the 1600m record leaves her more an each-way fringe runner.

Went very close at this track over 1400m last start, finishing second to Inazuma Tailor and beaten only half a length after being pipped late. That was a strong response to a heavy defeat behind Mozu Rickey, where he was never in the picture. His record at this track and distance is a major asset, with two wins and two placings from five starts, and that makes him a genuine winning threat.

Returns from a five-month break after ending the last campaign with back-to-back close placings at this track, the latest a second to La La Marcherdroit when beaten a length. He was also beaten just a long neck two runs earlier and was respected in betting both times. The Taichi Nagamori partnership is a clear positive, and he profiles as a genuine place chance fresh.

Has been disappointing at his past two runs, finishing fifth as a short odds-on favourite before a tenth at this track when again near the top of betting. He was just off the pace last time and could not launch a serious challenge, so there was no clear excuse. His track-and-distance record is respectable, but he has to recover form quickly to trouble the main hopes.

Returns from a six-month break after ending his last campaign with a dominant two-length win at this track, beating Josho Power after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. His venue record is outstanding, with eight wins from nine starts, and he also has two wins from three with Minoru Miyagawa. The 1600m asks him to be sharp fresh, but his profile still makes him the one to beat.

Returns from an eight-month break after finishing second at this track, beaten four lengths by Steelopolis, which was a fair rebound from a heavy defeat as favourite leader two runs earlier. His overall record is sound, but he has not won for 12 months and is only one placing from three at this track and distance. Others bring stronger recent credentials.

Was safely held at this track last start, fading late to finish tenth and beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. The start prior was better, a third behind Konoyoruo Tometeyo when closer in the market, and Takuya Okamura has a useful record aboard. Even so, his latest effort was too plain to make him more than an outside place chance.

Improved sharply when third at this track over 1400m last start, beaten a length and a half by Inazuma Tailor after starting at big odds. That followed a much flatter seventh, beaten nine lengths, so consistency is the question. He has won at this track and distance and is race fit, but Meisho Inuwashi had his measure last time and he looks more a placing hope.
