Kochi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
COMME LE VENT (3) Came in 4th last time here. Should improve here. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. DANON LUMIERE (1) Finished 6th last start at this track. Can show a better performance this time and drawn well. Has to be included. LIGHT THREE (4) Ordinary performance when 9th last time at the track but solid performer at this trip in the past. Has plenty of early speed. No shock to see a win. HIMEKAMINO ITADAKI (7) Looked good when 2nd last run around here. Should come to hand quickly. Jockey Minoru Miyagawa rates highly. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. Winnable race.

Draws to get every chance from barrier 1, but last start raised a query when sixth at this track, beaten seven and a half lengths by High Criteria after being near the top of betting and settling handy. Her third to Meisho Yuzuruha start prior came at long odds and she remains winless from ten starts. A 1400m placing keeps her in the mix for minors, though the winning case is less convincing.

Has offered little in two recent runs, finishing last behind High Criteria at this track two weeks ago when well beaten and unwanted in the market. She was also beaten over 18 lengths by Night Of Bund at her start prior after getting a long way back. Unplaced in six attempts at this track and distance, so a sharp turnaround is required.

Finished fourth behind Tani Noble at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths, but the manner of the run was better than the margin as she came from an impossible-looking position and closed strongly. She had won by a length from Samburu at this venue the start prior as a short odds-on favourite, and her 1400m record is a clear asset. With the winning rider back, she sets the benchmark.

Third-up now and has the 1400m profile to rebound, with two wins and one placing from five starts at the distance. Last start he was second last behind Tani Noble, beaten seven and a half lengths after only working home fairly, which tempers the enthusiasm. His previous second to Slaylar, beaten a length and a half, is the run that keeps him firmly in the place discussion.

Has been beaten over 20 lengths at both recent runs, most recently second last behind High Criteria at this track after settling miles back and failing to improve. The start prior was no better, finishing last behind Night Of Bund after conceding a huge start. Four placings from twelve at this track and distance are minor support, but current form leaves plenty to find.

Recent form is well below the level required, with a ninth behind High Criteria at this track last start when beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. He had also been beaten over 17 lengths by Night Of Bund at the run prior and weakened right out of it. His overall record is modest, so he has to produce a far sharper finish to get involved.

Has been knocking loudly with consecutive seconds at this track, most recently beaten a length by Tani Noble as a well-supported favourite. His start prior was another narrow miss, beaten a neck by Black Orange at a very short odds-on quote. The positives are clear: he has won at this track and distance, reunites with a successful rider and already beat Comme Le Vent last time, so he looks a major threat again.

Back after four weeks following a plain Ohi run, finishing second last behind Shosan Rex and beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. His start prior was more respectable when eighth to Delizia, beaten just under six lengths, but he was still never a winning hope. Place form at 1400m offers some base, yet his recent profile is short of the main chances.

Returns to a distance where she has won before, which gives her some path back after two flat efforts at this track. She was eighth behind High Criteria last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after travelling just off the pace and only battling, following a tenth to Wind Falx. Her broader record of two wins and seven places from 29 starts suggests place claims if she lifts on the recent pair.
