Kochi Race 10 - Race 10 - 1600
MEISHO MIKAWA (9) Did well when 2nd last run here. Going well this preparation. The wide gate shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Has to be included. TENKAHARU (3) Honest race when 3rd last run at this track. Can go through the gears. Will be competitive. FLYER TRUE (5) Showed promise when winning by 2L last time here. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ROSE BOWL (8) Finished 5th last run around here. Expected to rebound. Jockey Taichi Nagamori rates highly aboard. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive.

Worked home from well back when fifth in a B2 over 1300m at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths behind Best Decision at long odds. The start prior was another closing fifth, beaten four lengths by Morpheus. She has three wins and four placings from 14 starts around 1600m, including two wins and three places from eight at this track and distance, so she profiles as a genuine place hope.

Has been well held at both recent runs, finishing last in a B2 over 1300m at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Best Decision after sitting handy but failing to threaten. He was second last before that, beaten over 16 lengths by Thunder Zeus. His track-and-distance record is sound, but the current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Placed first-up over 1800m at this track, grinding into third behind Keiai Shelby but still beaten eight lengths after being near the top of betting. He also finished behind Meisho Mikawa in that race, which is a relevant reference point. The return to 1600m asks something, with no wins or placings from two previous starts around the trip, but his class keeps him in the minor-money mix.

Returns from a two-month break after a plain ninth at Urawa, beaten over 13 lengths by Tagano Mist when at long odds and never likely. He had earlier run seventh at Funabashi over 1000m, beaten five and a half lengths by Menkoi Bokuchan. The recent form is thin, but 13 wins and 20 places from 62 starts, plus two wins around 1600m, give him the back-class to rebound strongly.

Came from well back to win a C1 at this track last start, beating Arial Black by two lengths as favourite and doing it with something in hand. That was a sharp turnaround after finishing last over 1400m when unwanted in the market. He has won at this track and distance, so while consistency is the question, the latest win is good enough to keep him in the place discussion.

Third-up now, but the latest effort was disappointing when last over 1300m at this track, beaten over 14 lengths by Mozu Rickey after failing to close off. His previous third behind the same winner was much better, beaten four lengths when near the top of an open market. Two wins and five places from ten at this track and distance offer hope, but he must recover quickly.

Finished eighth over 1300m at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Top American at big odds. The run prior was no stronger, finishing second last behind Mozu Rickey and again beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward. Weight relief and Naomi Hama's record with him are positives, but the recent margins make him hard to recommend with confidence.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fifth over 1900m at this track, beaten five lengths by Sanono Espo when big odds and unable to quicken. His previous fifth at Kanazawa over 2000m was similar, but the return to 1600m is notable given he has a win and a placing from five at this track and distance. With Taichi Nagamori aboard, he has a strong chance to improve.

Comes through the strongest recent form, running second to Keiai Shelby over 1800m at this track last start after tracking the leader and fighting on, beaten two lengths. That followed a dominant C1 win here where he beat Meisho Hamagiku by three lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. With two wins and one placing from three starts at this track, he looks the runner to beat.

Made some late ground from the rear when sixth in a B2 over 1300m at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Best Decision at long odds. She had been seventh behind Morpheus before that, beaten seven and a half lengths and never threatening. Seven wins from 26 starts around 1600m is a positive, but her current form points to a minor role at best.
