Kochi Race 4 - Race 4 - 1600
ZENTOYUI (10) In the money when 3rd last run at this track. Should be in the finish. GLINT RITTER (2) Ran 5th last time at the track. Expected to rebound and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Has to be strongly considered. BIG SHOW TIME (3) Ran 3rd last start at this venue. Should come to hand quickly. First start for a new trainer. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. HAND RANGE (7) Finished 5th last run at this venue. Gets back and needs luck. One at a bit of odds.

Was safely held again last start when second last at this track over 1400m, beaten over 18 lengths after settling rearward and unwanted in the market. The start prior was little better, finishing seventh and beaten over 13 lengths behind Altstadt. Naoki Kimura has won on him before, but one placing from 13 attempts at this track and distance leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Was fair to the line when fifth over 1400m last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Liberty Flame, after a stronger C3 second the start prior when near the top of an open market. He beat Big Show Time and City Of London at this track about three weeks ago and has placed in all three runs at this track and distance. That keeps him in the minor-money conversation.

Finished strongly into third in a C3 over 1300m last start, beaten just over a length by Meisho Fujitaka after starting as an outside chance in the betting. His previous sixth was well held, but he is a proven track-and-trip winner and now gets a class drop. The latest effort was a clear return to form, and his 1600m record gives him a genuine winning platform.

Produced a sharp turnaround last start, finishing second over 1300m at this track and beaten only half a length by Cool German at generous odds. That came after he was well beaten behind Dixie Vogue, so consistency remains the query, and he did lose to Big Show Time three weeks ago. Ryotaro Oka has two wins from nine on him, and this looks a suitable chance to hold his form.

Made some late ground when fifth over 1400m last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Dixie Vogue after being unwanted in the market. He had also worked home fairly from an impossible spot the start prior, though beaten over 11 lengths. A track-and-distance win is in the book, but recent margins say he has to find a stronger finishing level.

Was last of eight behind Liberty Flame last start, beaten a long way after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The run prior was no better, with the mare tailed off after weakening late, and she was unwanted in the market on both occasions. A previous track-and-trip win and a winning rider link are positives, but current form is hard to recommend.

Ran a more competitive fifth over 1300m last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Cool German after settling rearward and starting near the top of an open market. That was a clear improvement on the ninth behind Dixie Vogue, when beaten over 18 lengths. She has mixed recent form against City Of London and Big Show Time, so a placing looks the more realistic aim.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing tenth at this track in a C1, beaten just over seven lengths by Collier D'Or and among the outsiders. His previous fifth behind With Your Dream was also only fair, and he has not won from 20 starts in the past 12 months. Two placings from eight attempts at this track and distance give him some grounding, but he has to return in better order.

Had little impact in a COND over 1800m last start, finishing sixth and beaten over 12 lengths by Keiai Shelby, but the return to this trip is a major positive. He was a close C3 second to Waterhouse two back as a dominant odds-on favourite, has one win and two placings from three starts at this track and distance, and brings the leading jockey-trainer setup. He sets the standard.

Has been finding the line well, most recently third over 1300m in C3 grade when beaten just over three lengths by Tani Noble at generous odds. The start prior was another strong finish for second, beaten a length and a half behind Meisho Habomai. His 10 wins and 11 places from 37 starts show quality, and the 1600m record keeps him a reliable place hope.

Finished eighth over 1400m last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Dixie Vogue after making no impression from well back. The start prior was a bigger concern, as she was tailed off behind Altstadt and again at long odds. Three wins from 13 starts at this track and distance are respected, but her current form leaves her well short of the main chances.
