Kochi Race 10 - Race 10 - 1600
LEMON CHIFFON (4) Ran 7th last run at this venue. Has the potential to improve sharply. Expecting to settle positively. Gets a chance to win. WHITIANGA (11) Moderate showing when 7th last time at this venue. No shock to see a win. WIND FALX (3) Finished 4th last run at this venue. Must respect. JUST A SPARK (6) Underwhelming when 8th last start at the track. Might be ridden for luck. Well placed and has solid claims.

Has been well beaten at both recent runs, finishing second last in a C1C2 at this track last start when unwanted in the market and beaten over 16 lengths by Wonderful Today. The start prior was no better, finishing last behind Debug. He is a track-and-trip winner and the class drop gives him some support, but he must produce a sharp rebound to be a realistic place factor.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending the last campaign never competitive in a Steeplechase at Tokyo, where he was second last and beaten out of sight by Suzuka Harbin. His previous sixth at Niigata was more respectable, beaten just under six lengths, and his broader profile rates well for this field. The new track and first try around 1600m are queries, but he has enough quality to be a serious player fresh.

Caught the eye late when fourth to Gran Orca at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after having plenty to do, and that followed a sound third behind Photosphere when near the top of an open market. He beat Al Malikat Saba a couple of weeks ago and owns a strong overall record, with five wins and five placings from 20 starts. His track form gives him the clearest winning profile.

Has been competitive without winning at her past two, finishing seventh behind Cocoli Hakutaku last start when beaten four lengths after settling rearward. She was fourth behind Three Rose the run prior, beaten just under four lengths, so the recent margins are respectable. With Seiya Tatara back aboard and two placings from four starts at this track and distance, she shapes as a sound place chance.

Was disappointing last start when seventh behind Gran Orca, beaten over 12 lengths after settling a long way back and making no impression. The run before is the key: she was sent out odds-on and beat Ginga Express by six lengths at this track, showing she can put a field away when right. She has placed three times from eight at this track and distance, and that peak run keeps her in winning calculations.

Has been fair rather than threatening in two recent 1400m runs at this track, finishing eighth behind Cocoli Hakutaku last start when beaten just over four lengths. The start prior he conceded a huge start and was always behind the eight-ball when seventh behind Three Rose. He has winning form around 1600m and has placed with Shinji Hatanaka, but the recent pattern points more to a place than a win.

Was safely held in a COND over 1800m at this track last start, finishing ninth behind Keiai Shelby after settling well back and making no impression. His previous second behind Ironsides was far better, charging home from an unlikely position to be beaten two and a half lengths. The return to 1600m suits his record, but he has to recapture that stronger run to make an impact.

Has offered little at his past two starts, finishing last in a C1C2 at this track last time when beaten a long way behind Wonderful Today at big odds. He was also last behind Copano Curacao the run prior after racing prominently and giving nothing in the run home. A class drop and past track win help only slightly, with current form leaving him with a lot to find.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing last first-up in a Mdn Steeplechase at Hanshin, where he was beaten a long way and started at big odds. The start prior at Kokura Dirt was also plain, finishing 14th after finding nothing late. Weight relief is a small positive and he has placed three times around 1600m, but recent form makes this a difficult assignment.

Finished sixth behind Gran Orca last start, beaten over 10 lengths, but he did come home respectably from a long way back. His previous second to Photosphere was stronger, beaten three lengths at generous odds, and he has an excellent track profile with three wins and six placings from 14 starts. With the winning rider back aboard, he can improve into the placings.

Was seventh behind Wonderful Today in a C1C2 at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after failing to make headway from back in the field. He had been third behind Ironsides the run prior, beaten four lengths, and his track-and-distance record includes one win and three placings from eleven starts. That gives him some hope, but he will have to lift on the latest effort.
