Kochi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
VAL D'ORCIA (6) Got the upper hand late when winning last time at this venue. Should jump out and bowl along. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Has to be strongly considered. VIP MALIK (8) Dominant winner by a margin of 5L last time at this track. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Has plenty of early speed. Taichi Nagamori is a plus. Should go close. SUNRISE JUDGE (4) Narrowly clinched the victory last run around here. Going well this preparation. Will give a big sight. PLUMERIA KUHIO (10) Finished 6th last time at the track. Has the speed to overcome the wide gate. Looks a value runner. Something for the Multiples: AERONAUT (2)

Was safely held last start when seventh at this track, beaten over 16 lengths by Geku after starting at big odds and coming under pressure late. The run prior was far better, closing impressively to miss Flan Fizz by a neck, so there is a usable peak there. Even so, one win from 42 starts and no win from 25 tries around 1400m leave her with a sizeable task.

Went close last start when second at this track, beaten a neck by Paura Melodia after being sent out favourite and picking up strongly. That was a clear rebound from a COND seventh behind Hot Rod Star, where he was in the market but failed to threaten. Proven at this track and distance and generally honest enough to be a genuine place player, though he has to convert a near miss.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing sixth at this track, beaten just over eight lengths by Night Of Bund at long odds, having been there to strike before finding little. He was also well held two back behind Ask Duramente. Two wins at the distance are a useful counterpoint, but he is unplaced in three starts at this venue and must recapture stronger form.

Built on a solid COND third behind Energy Ayu by turning the tables last start, beating the same runner by a head at this track when well found in betting. That gives his form a neat recent reference and he has now won twice with a placing from three starts at this venue. With two wins from three goes around 1400m, he brings a strong and current profile to the main chances.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending the previous campaign with an eighth in a Mdn at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just over six lengths by Optimo at big odds. His Kokura run before that was also only fair, but he is lightly raced and now resumes for Mamoru Tanaka, whose stable profile at this track is a positive. A place chance if the break has sharpened him, rather than a runner to declare.

Has been well beaten at both recent runs, finishing second last to Geku at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths at long odds after settling miles back. He had also been second last behind Tani Noble two back, beaten over 11 lengths and never in the race. Past track-and-trip placings are only a minor offset when the current form is so thin.

Comes in with the strongest recent form after consecutive wins at this track, most recently beating Peisha My Days by five lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite. That followed a six-length COND win over Suzuka Rose King where he put the race away quickly. Two wins from two starts at this venue and with Taichi Nagamori give him an outstanding platform to win again.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing sixth in a C2 at Funabashi, beaten over 12 lengths by Shiny Duque at long odds despite working home fairly from well back. His previous run was also plain, beaten over 13 lengths and unwanted in the market. A past 1400m win gives him one small positive, but he has a lot to prove first-up at this venue.

Was below expectations last start when sixth at this track, beaten just under four lengths by Rize Rainbow as the odds-on favourite after leading and only working home evenly. The start prior was a distant second behind Meisho Clift, so the recent form is mixed rather than convincing. Has placed at this distance and can be around the minor money, but the win case looks qualified.

Finished second last at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Rize Rainbow after being unwanted in the market, and there was no clear excuse in a long-way-back result. Two back he was fifth behind Meisho Clift but still beaten over 16 lengths. Unplaced at both this venue and this distance, so others make far stronger appeal.
