Kochi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
FUJI RHUBARB (1) First up and solid effort when winning by 2L first up last preparation at this venue. Minoru Miyagawa is a bonus. Winning prospect. LIGHT THREE (10) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time here. In strong racing shape since resuming from a break. Looks promising in this race. BLACK ORANGE (7) Was nothing special when 10th last start at the track. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Don't dismiss. GLORIOUS HERO (3) Finished 4th last run at this track. Has some strong credentials in this race.

Returns from a lengthy spell after six months off, with her best case built around a strong record at this track and distance. She ended last preparation with a fourth at this venue, beaten over 10 lengths by The Century when near the top of betting, after a sound second to Ambitieux the start prior. Two wins and three places from six starts over this track and trip keep her right in the winning mix if ready fresh.

Worked home well into fourth at this track last start, albeit beaten seven and a half lengths by Comme Le Vent after being unwanted in the market. His Ohi run prior was poor, finishing second last and beaten over 12 lengths, but he has placed five times from 14 attempts at 1400m. That latest effort gives him a platform to run into the minor money rather than a clear winning profile.

Comes through a strong last-start effort at this track, finishing fourth and beaten only a length and a half by Samburu after travelling right there. That followed a dominant win at this venue, where he tracked the speed and beat Chuwa London by five lengths as favourite. With one win from two starts at this track and the winning rider back aboard, he profiles as a genuine danger to the top pick.

Has been safely held at both recent starts, finishing ninth at this track last time when beaten over 11 lengths by Elegant Wink after sitting just off the pace and only battling. The run prior was another ninth, beaten six lengths by Cool German after coming under pressure late. A track win sits in the background, but his current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Recent figures read poorly, with a second-last finish at this track last start when beaten over 10 lengths by Star Cruising at big odds. She was also second last two back, beaten over 17 lengths by True Knight, and neither run carried a clear excuse. A previous track-and-trip win is a positive note, but she must produce a sharp turnaround to threaten these.

Was never in the race from well back last start when eighth at this track, beaten just under five lengths by Star Cruising and unwanted in the market. The start prior gives him a better reference, finishing third and beaten a length by Cool German after settling rearward. He has placed three times in the past 12 months, so a return to that two-back effort puts him in the minor-money picture.

Dropped right out last start when last at this track, beaten over 16 lengths by Samburu at long odds, and there was no obvious excuse. Her previous run was far better, finishing second to High Criteria and beaten two and a half lengths after finishing strongly. The contrast between those runs makes her risky, but her best recent effort gives her some outside place appeal.

Returns from a five-week freshening after two heavy defeats in ALLOW company, most recently last at Tokyo Dirt and beaten a long way by Bel Messiah at big odds. She was also last at Nakayama Dirt the run before, beaten over 16 lengths by Gratiam. The class drop and third-up setting help, but her recent performances say she has to improve substantially.

Has finished last at her past two starts, most recently at this track when beaten over 13 lengths by Star Cruising after coming under pressure late. Two back she was beaten over 17 lengths by True Knight after settling well back and failing to improve. She has won at this track and distance previously, but current form is a significant obstacle.

Improved into third at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Comme Le Vent after having plenty to do and keeping on strongly enough to reach the placings. His start prior was only fair, but the 1400m record is compelling, with two wins and two places from six attempts at the distance. Race fit and suited at the trip, he brings the most reliable winning platform.

Produced a better finish last start when fourth at this track, beaten just over eight lengths by Elegant Wink at long odds. The start prior was less convincing, finishing seventh and beaten nine and a half lengths by High Criteria, though he did keep working when never a winning hope. His 1400m record is useful enough for place consideration, but the win case is still limited.
