Kochi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400

SMILE GARDEN (5) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at this venue. Minoru Miyagawa adds value. Expected to be flashing home. Winning appeal. KAZU LAPONIAN (4) Finished 6th last time at the track. Likely to bounce back. Can go through the gears. Each way value. I'M STILL ME (7) Backing up quickly. Ran 5th last time at this track. Can make a comeback. Expect to go close. TODOIWA WIND (8) Fairly underwhelming when 12th last start here. Should race on the speed. Honest enough to be an each way player.

Was second last at this track behind Comme Le Vent last start, well beaten by 21 lengths after conceding a big start and never becoming involved. The start prior was no better, finishing last behind High Criteria after being unwanted in the market. Her broader 1400m record includes wins and placings, but she is unplaced in seven tries at this track and distance, so recent evidence is hard to support.

Produced a better closing effort when fourth to Lord Orden at this track last week, despite being beaten over 12 lengths after looking out of play before running on. The start prior was plain when eighth behind Hachikin Musume, but he has placed five times in the past 12 months and has enough 1400m experience to be treated as a live winning chance in this line-up.

Back after five weeks on the sidelines following a heavy first-up defeat at Tokyo Dirt, where he was last in an ALLOW and never competitive behind Summer Madness. His previous run at Nakayama Dirt was also well held, beaten a long way at long odds. The class drop gives him a softer assignment, but 1400m is new and he has a lot to turn around.

Finished sixth to Elegant Wink at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths, but he did make some late ground from a difficult position. His previous sixth behind Cool German reads better, beaten just under three lengths at generous odds. He has won around 1400m and has placed at this track and distance, so a minor cheque looks within reach if he begins cleanly.

Worked home evenly for third behind Samburu at this track last start, beaten nine lengths after being near the top of betting, and that is the strongest recent placing in this field. The run prior at Hanshin Dirt in a Mdn was only fair, but she has five placings from eleven starts and now has Minoru Miyagawa, a strong track rider, aboard again. This is her chance to convert consistency into a win.

Has finished tenth at her past two starts at this track, most recently behind Elegant Wink when beaten over 12 lengths after only a moderate final effort. She was also beaten over 12 lengths behind High Criteria the start prior after giving away too much ground. Four placings from 19 starts at this track and distance offer some background, but her current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Returned with a fifth behind Lord Orden at this track last week, beaten over 12 lengths, and that leaves him needing sharper improvement second-up. He was also safely held at Sapporo Dirt the start prior, finishing last behind Meisho Koshu after being unwanted in the market. Still a maiden after 14 starts, but he is rated well enough over the past 12 months to hold place claims.

Was tailed off behind Elegant Wink at this track last start despite being near the top of an open market, after settling prominently and giving nothing in the run home. The start prior was also poor, finishing a distant last behind Cool German as favourite. Her career place record is respectable, but those two failures make her difficult to trust unless she finds a complete turnaround.
