Kochi Race 10 - Race 10 - 1300
PLAISIR (1) Finished 7th last time at this venue. Should bounce back and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Very competitive this campaign. Solid claims. INAZUMA TAILOR (9) Came in 5th last start here. Expecting improvement but coming back in distance. One for the each way players. ARIAL BLACK (5) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start around here but will be dropping in distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Sound chances. WAKUWAKU DREAM (7) Finished 7th last time here and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Could run into the money.

Can bounce back from a plain seventh in COND company over 1800m at this track, where he was beaten over 14 lengths after settling well back and only working home fairly. The start prior is the better guide, having beaten G T Happy by three lengths here as favourite. Drops back to 1300m, where his record is strong, and five wins from eight starts at this venue make him the one they have to beat.

Has been well beaten at his past two, finishing second last over 1600m at this track when beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. He was also eighth here the start prior, beaten over 10 lengths and unable to make headway. His track-and-distance record is respectable, but the current form leaves him with a sizeable task to turn things around.

Improved last start when third over 1600m at this track, beaten just under three lengths at generous odds after settling rearward. That was a clear step back in the right direction after being unwanted in the market and beaten nine and a half lengths here at the start prior. The 1300m record is modest, but the latest effort gives him a realistic place chance.

Was unwanted in the market and finished eighth over 1600m at this track last start, beaten eight lengths after having too much to do. His previous second to Olive Branch was more encouraging, working home evenly at long odds, but that level has to be reproduced. A past win at this track and distance is a plus, though others bring stronger current claims.

Produced a much stronger run last start when second over 1600m at this track, beaten two lengths after being well clear before being run down late. That was a clear reversal from the start prior, when ninth and beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. One win and two places from six starts at this track and distance support the case for another honest showing.

Drops from COND company after finishing tenth over 1800m at this track, beaten over 16 lengths after leading narrowly and being swamped. She had also been well held the start prior, so recent form is the obvious concern. The positives are a return to 1300m and Seiya Tatara going back aboard, with the pair combining for three wins from eight starts.

Comes off two similar midfield-to-back efforts, finishing seventh over 1600m at this track last start after settling rearward and beaten just under eight lengths. She was also ninth here the run prior after conceding a big start. The recent form is not strong, but three wins and one place from 14 starts at this track and distance give her some claims back at 1300m.

Has finished well down the track at his past two, last over 1600m at this venue most recently when beaten over 19 lengths at long odds. He was also second last the start prior and unwanted in betting, so there is little recent evidence to recommend. His older track-and-distance record is fair, but he has to find a major turnaround.

Ran fairly when fifth over 1600m at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths behind Kurino Dragon after starting at big odds. The start prior was stronger, scoring by half a length from Meisho Inuwashi at this venue. Twelve career wins and a strong 1300m record give this veteran a genuine winning platform if he brings his sharper form.
