Kochi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1300
TWISTED SILK (6) Placed 3rd last time at this venue and strong performer at this trip. Has shown early pace in races to date. Jockey Taichi Nagamori rates highly. Strong chance. FUURINKAZAN (8) Ran 6th last time at this venue. Should improve here. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Producing consistent results this campaign. Winning hope. FULFILMENT (11) Fairly underwhelming when 7th last start here. Jockey Minoru Miyagawa is an asset. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. FRANGIPANE (3) Ran 5th last time at the track. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope.

Worked home evenly for second at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Lanzenreiter after starting at big odds. That was a much better effort than the start prior, when second last and finished well held behind City Prosper. She has placed four times from 18 starts at this track and distance, but the overall winning record remains thin and stronger claims sit above her.

Finished seventh at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Quad Malinin after being at generous odds and only fair through the line. His previous run was weaker again, beaten over 20 lengths by Mozu Ganesa. The track-and-distance record shows some past merit, and Naoki Kimura has won on him, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Resumed with a fair fifth at this track, beaten five lengths by Energy Ayu after just keeping to the task late. The run prior was a fifth in a COND at Saga where she was near the top of betting but failed to finish it off. Her broader record is sound, with three wins and one placing from nine starts, and second-up improvement would put her in the minor-money mix.

Broke through at this track last start, arriving late to beat Benten Kagura by just under a length as an odds-on favourite. That followed a fourth behind Namura Koharu, beaten a length and a half, when she worked home well. Now third-up and with Ryotaro Oka staying aboard after winning on her, she has enough current form to remain a genuine place hope.

Produced a sharp form reversal at this track last start, winning by seven lengths from Piko Bullet despite being unwanted in the market. The contrast with his previous Hanshin Dirt run is stark, as he had been beaten over 12 lengths in a Mdn at long odds. If the latest effort is repeated he can be competitive, though the market surprise makes the performance one to assess carefully.

Was brave in defeat at this track last start, finishing third behind City Prosper as favourite after just failing to hang on. Two back he won a COND here by three lengths from Lord Belfast, so the recent form is stronger than most in this field. With two wins and one placing from four starts at this track and distance, plus Taichi Nagamori back aboard, he is the runner they have to beat.

Closed off well for third at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Hachikin Musume after being near the top of an open market. His previous eighth behind Tamamo Amalfi was only fair, and the maiden record after 29 starts is a clear reservation. Even so, four placings around this distance and a stronger latest run give him a live each-way profile.

Could only finish sixth at this track last start, beaten six lengths by Quad Malinin after lacking the turn of foot required. The start prior produced a placing, but he was still beaten ten lengths behind Mozu Ganesa and started among the outsiders. His career and track-distance records are respectable, yet he must lift on the latest evidence to threaten.

Finished fourth at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths by Energy Ayu after failing to quicken at generous odds. His better guide may be the start prior, when sent out odds-on and strong enough late to beat Meisho Yu Gen by a neck. With one win and one placing from three starts at this distance and a leading jockey-trainer profile, he remains a solid winning chance.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing last at Sonoda, beaten over 12 lengths by Wispy Snow despite being near the top of an open market. The start prior was no better, beaten over 13 lengths after sitting just off the leaders and offering little late. Weight relief helps, but his first look at this track comes off two heavy defeats.

Led narrowly but weakened right out of it at this track last start, finishing seventh and beaten over 11 lengths by Energy Ayu after being near the top of an open market. She was also seventh in a COND here two back as a short odds-on favourite. Minoru Miyagawa has won twice from three rides on her, but recent form makes her only a rough minor hope.
