Kochi Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
RIKEA BOLERO (12) Was a comprehensive winner by 6L last time here and good career start. Flying this campaign with 2 wins from as many starts. Definite claims. SANSAN KIC (1) Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of 3L last time at the track and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Showing consistent performance in races. Can measure up to this company. JACK ARTHUR (11) Had a comfortable win by a distance last run at this venue and having second race start. Hiroto Yoshihara is in good form for this stable. Respect. MAONO SAILING (9) Was competitive when 3rd last run at the track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. In fine form since resuming from a break. Don't overlook.

Back from a two-month break after leading throughout to win by three lengths at this track, beating Three Going as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He had fought on for second to Smith Barows prior when short odds-on, and his overall profile is strong with three wins and one placing from four starts. Proven at this track and trip, he has the record to press the top pick hard.

Ran second to Rikea Bolero at this track last start, holding a narrow lead before being beaten six lengths at big odds. Her third to Royal Quark in a small field the start prior was honest enough, and the broader 1400m record reads one win and two placings from six attempts. She has place credentials, though turning the tables on the main form line looks a sizeable task.

Was well found in an open market but dropped out to eighth behind Rikea Bolero last start, beaten over 17 lengths with no clear excuse in the run. The positive is his debut win at this venue, where he beat Lizard King by a long way and showed a sharp turn of foot. Third-up fitness helps, but he has to rebound sharply to be more than a place chance.

Finished fifth behind Rikea Bolero last start, beaten over 10 lengths after settling rearward, and that followed a sixth to the same winner when beaten over 12 lengths. She has one placing from five starts at this track and is yet to win from five career runs. With the recent margins against her, she will have to find a much stronger finish.

Picked up in the straight when sixth behind Rikea Bolero last start, but was still beaten over 10 lengths at generous odds. The start prior was no stronger, finishing seventh and beaten over 12 lengths after being near the top of betting. He has won at this track, yet the latest pair leave him with plenty to repair before he can threaten.

Closed into third behind Rikea Bolero last start but was still beaten just over six lengths and unwanted in the market. She had finished fifth to the same winner prior, beaten over 11 lengths, so the form is more consistent for placings than wins. Three placings from four starts at this track give her some minor hope, but she has to bridge a clear class gap.

Produced one of her better recent efforts when fourth to Haruga Kita at this track last start, beaten a length and a half after settling rearward. Her previous fourth to Royal Quark in a small field was fair, though she remains winless from five starts with only one placing. That profile points more to a rough placing hope than a likely winner.

Finished second last behind Rikea Bolero last start and was well held after being asked to make up plenty of ground. His third to the same winner at the run prior was also beaten ten lengths, so the current campaign form sits below the leading chances. The overall record is better than the latest run suggests, but he must lift considerably.

Went close when third to Haruga Kita at this venue last start, beaten just under a length and finishing strongly. That followed a decisive four-length win over Kabachitare as favourite, so his current form is genuinely competitive. With one win and two placings from four starts, he profiles as a solid place chance who can capitalise if the main hopes underperform.

Settled rearward and finished fourth behind Rikea Bolero last start, beaten just over nine lengths at big odds. Two back he justified a very short quote, beating Reward Lauren by half a length in a small field after finishing sharply. His one win and four placings from six starts show reliability, but the latest margin limits the winning confidence.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a dominant debut win at this track, beating Spice Town by a long way in a four-runner race as a very short odds-on favourite. He held a slim advantage before letting down with plenty in hand, which was exactly what the market expected. The wider barrier asks a question, but he has upside and clear winning claims.

Made it two straight wins this campaign with a six-length success over Nine Smile at this track, starting a dominant odds-on favourite and extending away with authority. His previous seven-length win over Royal Quark was similarly strong, and he is now two wins and one placing from three starts overall. Proven at this distance and venue, he is the benchmark they have to reach.
