Kochi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1300
TAMAMO AMALFI (2) Was competitive when 3rd last time at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Looking sharp on the track this preparation but back in trip. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. BRACION (7) Was nothing special when 7th last time at Kasamatsu. Likely to be well placed early. Racing for a new trainer. Well placed and has solid claims. BUSTER CALL (6) Tidy run when 3rd last start at this track. Producing consistent results since coming back from a break. Good chance of threatening these. PLUMERIA KUHIO (8) Came in 4th last run here. Capable of a strong comeback. Expecting to settle positively. Respect in this event.

Recent form is the obvious concern after a tenth at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Hachikin Musume after getting a long way back and making no impact. The start prior was also plain when ninth behind Tamamo Amalfi, beaten just under nine lengths. Barrier one helps and she has placed twice from 14 runs around 1300m, but she is more a minor-place hope than a strong winning push.

Kept her consistency intact when third over 1600m at this track last start, although beaten six lengths by Royal Time after sitting handy and lacking the sharper finish required. Her win the start prior was stronger, scoring as favourite from Crack Me Up, and she is one from three at this track and distance. With Seiya Tatara back aboard, she profiles as a genuine place chance with winning claims if the race sets up kindly.

Second-up after a flat seventh at this track, beaten over 16 lengths by Vip Malik after settling prominently and offering little in the run home. His previous run at Funabashi in C2 grade was also well held at long odds, albeit he worked home fairly from a long way back. He has won around 1300m, but current form leaves him with a fair bit to find against these.

Put in a very poor one last start when second last at this track, beaten over 20 lengths by Vip Malik, and he was unwanted in the market there. The counterpoint is his narrow second the start prior, when well-supported favourite and beaten a neck by Paura Melodia after picking up strongly. His track-and-distance record is sound enough, so a rebound puts him into the each-way mix rather than the top line.

Has been safely held at both recent runs, finishing tenth at this track last start when beaten over 14 lengths by Quad Malinin after giving away too much ground. The fourth prior reads better on position only, as he was still beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. With no wins from 16 starts and no placing from eight runs around 1300m, he must lift markedly.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing third to Energy Ayu and beaten just under a length after being pipped late at generous odds. That followed another third here when he made ground from a long way back, so the current campaign has clear substance. He has placed three times from four starts at this venue and comes from a leading local stable, making him the runner with the strongest winning case.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last at Kasamatsu in a COND, beaten a long way by Yamanin Elphaba at long odds. She had also been well held when fourth there the run prior, beaten over 12 lengths. The class drop and two wins from eight starts around 1300m give her something to work with, but she must show far more than her latest figures.

Worked home evenly for fourth at this track last start, beaten four lengths by Vip Malik, and that was a fairer run than the previous sixth as a short odds-on favourite. He is top-rated over the last 12 months and has placed once from three starts at this venue, so the profile is solid without being bombproof. The 1300m record is still a query, but his recent ratings give him a strong chance.
