Kochi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
FRANGIPANE (9) First up today. Ran 5th last run at Saga. Happy to overlook that run. Will be competitive. REAL PARADISE (2) Put the head down when winning last run at the track and has a good draw. Has a great burst of speed late. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Looks promising in this race. ENERGY AYU (6) Just short of the win last time at the track. Has early speed and positions nicely. Amongst the placegetters multiple times this preparation. Serious player. FULFILMENT (3) Came in 7th last run here. Should muster plenty of early toe. Minoru Miyagawa is a pivotal booking. Very competitive this campaign. In the mix.

Worked home well for fourth at this track last start, but was still beaten seven and a half lengths by Sunrise Judge after sitting near the top of betting. His prior fifth behind Emphasize was plain, with the finish lacking strength. Fourth-up fitness helps and he has placed once at around 1400m, but the winning record is thin and he profiles more as a minor-money hope.

Dug in well as odds-on favourite to win by a neck from Meisho Yu Gen at this track, following a close COND second to Three Kizuna Hime. That gives him the right current form profile, and he has already won and placed around 1400m. The winning rider stays aboard, so while he is not dominant, he has the substance to be fighting out the finish again.

Started short odds-on in COND grade last time but could finish only seventh, beaten just over nine lengths by Guerriere Kic, and there was no clear excuse. The run prior was much better, winning by three lengths from Shiden Issen at this venue. Drops in grade and has won twice around 1400m, but she must rebound sharply to become a serious winning factor.

Beaten over 20 lengths behind Mozu Ganesa last start after never getting into the race, and the previous ninth behind Meisho Clift was even heavier at 27 lengths. The veteran has old track-and-trip wins on the page, but he is unplaced from 26 starts in the past 12 months and recent form gives little encouragement.

Continued his consistent run when second to City Prosper at this track, beaten a length and a half after working home evenly. He had also run second in COND grade behind Twisted Silk, so the form has a reliable look. A win and three places from four starts at this venue, plus a strong record with Eita Inoue, make him a clear winning threat.

Pipped on the post by Sunrise Judge when favourite at this track, beaten only a head, and that followed a dominant six-length COND win over Renjishi. Her record here is strong, with two wins and three places from six starts, and Naoki Kimura has the same return on her. With current form, venue strength and tactical speed in her favour, she is the one to beat.

Finished strongly to win by a neck from Aeronaut at this track last start, a positive result at generous odds. The concern is that it came after a well-beaten seventh behind Peisha My Days, when she was at big odds and never launched a serious challenge. She has upside in a small sample, but backing that win up is the key to lifting her claims.

Passed a few late to run third behind Sunrise Judge at this track, which was a step in the right direction even if the margin was just over five lengths. Two back he was beaten over 15 lengths after being swamped from a narrow lead. Third-up fitness is a plus and he has won around 1400m, but he looks better suited as a place contender.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a fifth at Saga, beaten just over six lengths by Comme Le Vent when near the top of betting. Her prior eighth at this venue was also below her best, but the broader record is respectable and includes two wins and a placing from five at this track and distance. She has talent, but recent runs leave improvement to find fresh.
