Kochi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1300
BELLAGIO IZANA (5) Winner by 2L last run at the track and was a debutant last start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Jockey Minoru Miyagawa rates highly aboard. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. SPICE TOWN (2) Ran 2nd last start at the track and has a positive draw. Mamoru Tanaka has been training plenty of winners recently and solid career start. Suitably placed in this race. ROYAL QUARK (3) Backs up quickly. Subpar when 11th last run here. In fine form this campaign. Might have to make up considerable ground. One of the hopes. HARUGA KITA (6) Solid win by 3/4L last time at this venue on a heavy rated track and putting a tidy record together so far. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Not out of this.

Worked home soundly for fourth at this track last start, but the margin was still beaten over 10 lengths by Palmgren and he was only an outside chance in the betting. His start prior was more competitive when fifth to Haruga Kita, beaten two and a half lengths after settling rearward. Two placings from five tries at this track and distance give him a minor base, but he has to find a sharper finish.

Has done little wrong without winning, placing in all three starts and again running second at this track last start when beaten two lengths by Palmgren. She was near the top of betting there and fought on honestly, while her previous second to Haruga Kita was better than the market expected. Three placings from as many attempts around 1300m make her a genuine place hope, though the winning edge is still to come.

Backs up quickly after a disappointing second last at this track, beaten over 14 lengths by Rikea Bolero at long odds after settling with too much to do. His previous fourth was also safely held, so recent form asks for caution. The counter is his excellent record at this track and distance, where he has one win and four places from five starts, and that keeps him in the place mix if he rebounds.

Finished fifth at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Palmgren after failing to finish it off, and that followed a plain seventh when sent out favourite behind Haruga Kita. He has won at this track and distance, so the set-up is not the issue, but his latest two efforts leave him with plenty to repair. A much stronger closing effort is required to trouble the better chances.

Made an immediate statement on debut at this track, starting odds-on and winning by two lengths from Makkoto Moody after kicking clear and holding them safely. She returns second-up with the same rider aboard, and the stable and jockey both have strong records at this venue. With a race win already banked at the distance and natural improvement available, she sets a high standard for this field.

Comes off a determined win at this track, scoring by just under a length from Spice Town at big odds after getting clear and holding off the late challenge. That was a sharp turnaround from her previous run, where she finished last and well held behind Rikea Bolero. One win and one place from three starts is a sound early record, and a repeat of the latest effort puts her right in the minor-money battle.
