Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
PETAL BIJOU (5) Left nothing to chance when winning by 3/4L last start at the track on a heavy surface. Should jump out and bowl along. Jockey Masayoshi Yamasaki is very comfortable steering. Respect in this company. HARUNO IMPACT (7) Ran 4th last time here. Giving another chance here. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . BELLE VIOLETTE (2) Finished 5th last start around here but has a good draw. Among the chances. DON ACHEKA (10) First up after 12 weeks and competitive effort when 3rd first up last preparation at Sonoda. Coming to a new trainer. Can threaten if right today.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last in an ALLOW over 1000m at Sapporo Dirt, beaten over 16 lengths at long odds behind Premiere Pas. She was also well held over 1200m at Sapporo the start prior, so recent form is plain. The class drop and inside barrier are genuine positives, though four unplaced tries around 1400m keep the trip as the query. This looks a better chance for her to rebound.

Worked home fairly when fifth at this track last start, but was still beaten over 12 lengths by Al Malikat Saba and started at long odds. Her prior fifth behind Win Imeru was also safely held, beaten eight and a half lengths. The track-and-trip record and familiar jockey are positives, yet her recent margins leave her with plenty to find against sharper rivals.

Made some late ground from well back when sixth at this track last start, but the margin was still over 12 lengths and she was big odds. Two back she was eighth behind Win Imeru, beaten over 14 lengths after never looking likely. Her overall 1400m record shows past capability, though the current form profile is not strong enough to recommend with confidence.

Dropped right out when seventh at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths after giving ground in the run home. The start prior was no better, finishing last behind Win Imeru and well beaten by 20 lengths. His career record includes five wins around 1400m, but the last two performances have been too plain to overlook and a major turnaround is required.

Bounced back strongly at this track last start, winning a C3 over 1600m by just under a length from Bandoneon after coming under pressure late. That was a sharp response to a well-beaten tenth the run prior, and the return to 1400m is a suitable set-up. She has three wins and four places from 13 starts with Masayoshi Yamasaki, and that partnership gives her the profile to go on with it.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last in a B2 over 900m at Kawasaki, beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. His previous run in B1B2 grade was also safely held, so recent figures are modest. The class drop gives him a better platform and he has placed once from five tries around 1400m, making him more of a place prospect than a clear winning play.

Has put together consecutive fourths at this track, most recently beaten five lengths by Ironsides after settling rearward. The run before was a similar honest effort behind Logan Pass, beaten six and a half lengths. He is a veteran with a deep 1400m profile, including seven wins and 17 placings around the trip, and that consistency keeps him right among the stronger chances.

Finished fourth at this track last start, but was beaten nine and a half lengths by Al Malikat Saba after settling rearward. His previous sixth behind Win Imeru was another run where he had too much to do. The broader good-track placing record gives him some each-way substance, though no win or placing from three tries around 1400m tempers the winning case.

Was second last at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths by Al Malikat Saba after making no headway. That followed a last placing behind Rhizomatics where he was never competitive and was beaten out of sight. He has placed at this track and distance before, but the recent form is too far below the level required to make a serious case.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a fifth at Sonoda, beaten nine and a half lengths by Fairy Blue in a small field. He had earlier been sixth behind Iza Green Light, when nearer the top of an open market but unable to finish it off. A prior win at 1400m gives him some grounding for this assignment, and fresh he shapes as a realistic place chance.
