Kochi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
SCUBA (3) Honest race when 3rd last run at this venue. Should muster plenty of early toe. Jockey Taichi Nagamori rates highly aboard. Underrated. GUERRIERE KIC (5) Nice run when 2nd last start at this track. Should muster plenty of early speed. Goes close. CHURA WAVE (6) Average performance when 7th last time here. Should get going late. In the mix. PEISHA PLAY (7) Below par when 9th last start at Saga and dropping back to a shorter trip. Serious player.

Was there to challenge but found little when sixth at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths behind Glorious Hero at long odds. The run prior reads no better on the page, with a fourth that was still never competitive and beaten out of sight. Her long-term 1400m record is respectable, but ten unplaced runs at this track and distance make this a steep assignment.

Worked home well enough for fourth at this track last start, though the margin to Meisho Clift was still six and a half lengths and he was unwanted in the market. His previous third behind Tani Noble was more competitive, beaten two lengths after tracking the speed. He has placed often enough at this trip to be considered for multiples, but the win profile remains limited.

Continued his consistent run with a third at this venue last start, although he was beaten just over six lengths by Meisho Clift and did not quicken when asked. He had been more convincing the run prior as favourite, leading and only being run down late by Tani Noble. With Taichi Nagamori aboard and a strong place profile, he looks a reliable minor chance rather than a clear top pick.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing a distant last in a B1 at Mombetsu, where he dropped out behind What You Gonna Do at long odds. His previous B3 run was also plain, beaten over 16 lengths after settling handy and failing to offer a challenge. The class drop is some help, but recent form leaves him with a lot to turn around.

Put up another solid local performance when second to Geku at this track last start, leading and only being run down late while near the top of betting. That followed a comfortable COND win at this venue, where she beat Josho Briller by two lengths after travelling strongly in front. With four wins around 1400m and Seiya Tatara back aboard, she profiles as one of the key winning chances.

Resumed with a below-par seventh at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths by Glorious Hero after being well found in betting. He is second-up now and does have a track-and-trip win, while his record with Yuta Goma is solid enough to keep him in consideration. Even so, he has to produce a sharper finish than he showed first-up to press the main chances.

Was never competitive and beaten out of sight over 1860m at Saga last start, with the market also giving little confidence. The run prior was much better, finishing strongly for second behind Slaylar when beaten two lengths. Returning to a proven track-and-distance set-up gives her some each-way interest, but she has to leave that latest failure well behind.

Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing seventh in a Nakayama Dirt Mdn over 1800m, beaten just over seven lengths by Kashima Raifu after leading. His fourth behind Tornado Isle the start prior was sound enough in the same grade, and this looks a more suitable level. The 1400m record is light, but the stable and jockey profile add confidence to his winning case.

Has been beaten heavily in both runs this campaign, finishing last at this track last start and over 19 lengths from Meisho Clift after settling a long way back. The start prior was even tougher, beaten out of sight behind Comme Le Vent at big odds. A third-up run and past track-and-trip win are not enough to offset such poor recent figures.

Arrives off a strong last-start win at this venue, coming from a difficult position to beat Bari King by a length at generous odds. That was a sharp lift on his previous fourth behind Meisho Clift, where he was beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward. His past-year record is sound and another similar finish would put him firmly in the placings.

Returns from a two-month break after a decisive COND win at Saga, beating Relish by three lengths and confirming the promise of her previous third behind Havana Rose. She has a win and a placing from four starts around 1400m, and the class drop gives that last-start success added weight. Despite the freshen-up, her recent form and distance profile make her the runner to beat.
