Kochi Race 4 - Race 4 - 1600
BELLAGIO IZANA (1) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start around here and will appreciate a good draw. Has plenty of early speed. More confidence with jockey Minoru Miyagawa guiding the horse. Goes close. ENTRECHAT (11) Shot away to win by 7L last time around here. Well placed and has solid claims. MAONO SAILING (10) Came in 7th last run at this venue but showing consistent performance in races. Amongst the placegetters multiple times this preparation. Might be ridden for luck. Has to be included. MAKKOTO MOODY (5) Was competitive when 2nd last run here. Has run into the money all attempts this campaign. Does take a while to get into stride. Has some strong credentials in this race.

Has made a very solid start, winning on debut at this track before finishing second last start over 1300m, beaten two and a half lengths by Haruga Kita after just being run down late as short odds-on favourite. She beat Makkoto Moody by two lengths first time out and remains unbeaten in the placings. The first try around 1600m is the query, but barrier one and race fitness give her a strong winning platform.

Worked home evenly when eighth behind Rikea Bolero last start over 1400m at this track, but was still beaten just over nine lengths after starting at big odds. The run prior was similar, finishing sixth and beaten over 10 lengths, although he did pick up in the straight. A previous win at this venue and Taichi Nagamori back aboard help, but the first 1600m attempt makes him more a place hope than a winning focus.

Brings the best overall credentials, with one win and two places from seven starts at this track and a sound jockey-horse record. She was fourth to Rikea Bolero last start over 1400m after settling rearward, beaten seven lengths, and had been second to the same winner start prior despite being unwanted in the market. The new 1600m trip is still to be proven, but her established track form gives her the right base to win.

Has placed three times from five starts and that consistency keeps her among the better chances, even though she is still chasing a first win. She did not quicken when fifth behind Rikea Bolero last start, beaten eight and a half lengths, but had been third to the same winner start prior. The step to 1600m is new and Nine Smile has had her measure recently, yet her place record at this track makes her a genuine threat.

Has filled second in both starts, so the raw consistency is there, but the substance is mixed. She was beaten nine lengths by Fuyuno Rai last start after being near the top of betting, following a two-length debut second to Bellagio Izana when unwanted in the market. The first try around 1600m is another unknown, and she profiles as a minor chance unless she finds more late.

Progressed from a debut third to win at this track last start, scoring by a length and a half from Flower Hope S over 1300m after being near the top of an open market. That gives her a positive two-run profile and she is race-fit third-up. The first attempt around 1600m is the obvious test, but she has already shown she can respond under pressure and belongs in the main place discussion.

Finished last behind Rikea Bolero over 1400m at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths after settling rearward and starting at long odds. The start prior was only marginally better, a fifth beaten over 10 lengths in another race won by Rikea Bolero. With no recent excuse and 1600m still untried, she would have to produce a major turnaround to trouble these.

Was never in the race when tenth behind Rikea Bolero last start, conceding a huge start and finishing beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. Her previous fourth behind Haruga Kita was far better, beaten a length and a half, but she has one placing from six starts and has since gone backwards. The first 1600m attempt adds another question, so she has plenty to turn around.

Loomed but could not go on when fourth to Haruga Kita last start, beaten just under four lengths after being near the top of betting. That was a clear improvement on his second-last behind Rikea Bolero the start prior, where he made no headway and was beaten over 14 lengths. His one win and four places from eight starts point to reliability, but the new 1600m trip likely keeps him in the place mix.

Was seventh behind Rikea Bolero last start over 1400m, beaten just over nine lengths at long odds, and never looked a winning hope despite sticking on. His third to Haruga Kita two back was much stronger, beaten just under a length after finishing well. A leading stable is a plus and he has won at this track, but he has to recapture that sharper effort to be more than an outside player.

Produced the most decisive recent win in the field, beating O Shin Whale by seven lengths over 1300m at this track after letting down strongly. That was a sharp lift from her debut fourth behind Bellagio Izana, where she was beaten seven lengths at generous odds. The wide draw and first try at 1600m temper the confidence, but last start showed enough improvement to keep her in the wider calculations.
