Kochi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
CHERUB (9) Moderate showing when 10th last start here. Giving another go here. Taichi Nagamori rates highly aboard. Genuine winning chance. LORD FLUGEL (5) Resumes after a spell. Faded to finish 13th last run at Chukyo. Has the potential to improve sharply. Hiroto Yoshihara and Yuuji Uchikoshi deserve serious attention as a team. Must respect in this event. VALIANT MARCH (3) Below expectations when 7th last run around here. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Don't dismiss. PEISHA DANCING (2) Couldn't stay in touch when 7th last time at Niigata but will try to take advantage of the draw. Change in trainer. Consider an each way bet.

Came up short as a well-fancied runner at this track last start, finishing sixth behind Namura Koharu and beaten just under six lengths after conceding a huge start. He had earlier been beaten over 12 lengths in a Niigata Dirt Mdn after leading, so the profile is mixed, but he is fitter third-up and still rates strongly against this field. From the inside draw, he gets a clear chance to produce his best run of the campaign.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing seventh in a Niigata Dirt Mdn, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds after travelling within touch before dropping out. Her debut was also well held, so the class drop and race fitness have to do some lifting. The 1400m is new territory, but in this company she can improve enough to be considered for a minor placing.

Made some improvement when seventh at this track last start, beaten just under six lengths by Real Paradise as an outside chance in betting. That was more competitive than her previous sixth when beaten over 12 lengths and unwanted in the market, but she remains unplaced in seven starts across the past 12 months. Her 1400m record is a query, so she profiles more as a place chance than a reliable winning option.

Finished seventh at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Namura Koharu after settling miles back and making no impression. The start prior was weaker again when second last in a COND, beaten over 17 lengths. She has been beaten by Danon On The Beat and Cherub recently, and three unplaced runs around 1400m leave her with plenty to find.

Returns from a three-month break after a heavy defeat at Chukyo Dirt, finishing 13th in a Mdn and beaten out of sight after weakening late. His Kokura Dirt run prior was also safely held, but the class drop and move to a leading stable are genuine positives for this assignment. The 1400m is untried, so he is a place hope only if the stable switch draws out sharp improvement.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing 12th in a Chukyo Dirt Mdn, beaten over 14 lengths and unable to make any headway. His Kyoto Dirt seventh two runs back was more respectable, beaten six and a half lengths after giving away a big start but working through the line fairly. The class drop and new stable give him a sound platform to return in much better order.

Has been well beaten at both recent runs at this venue, finishing second last behind Namura Koharu two weeks ago after settling a long way back and failing to improve. She was last in a COND the run prior, beaten over 19 lengths at big odds. With no placing from six career starts and four unplaced attempts around 1400m, others bring far stronger credentials.

Was last at this track first-up, finished well held after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. His earlier eighth in a COND at this venue was no better, also finishing well held after weakening badly late. He did beat Cherub a couple of months ago, but the latest defeat behind Danon On The Beat is more relevant and he must lift sharply second-up.

Had the task in front of her when tenth at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths by Paura Melodia after failing to make headway. Her prior sixth in a COND was also below the mark, though she was respected near the top of an open market that day. The 1400m record is still a concern, but she stays race fit and the leading jockey booking helps her remain a serious winning player.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after finishing 14th in a Kyoto Dirt Mdn, beaten a long way after conceding a huge start. His debut at Chukyo Dirt was also tailed off, so the overall evidence is thin and negative despite the class drop. He has been unplaced at 1400m and would have to return a far more tractable horse to threaten this field.

Settled just off the leaders at this track last start but gave ground in the run home, finishing eighth and beaten over 12 lengths by Namura Koharu. The previous COND run was also plain when seventh, beaten over 16 lengths at big odds. She carries 52kg again, but three unplaced runs at this venue and another Danon On The Beat form deficit leave her facing a stiff task.
