Kochi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
STAR CRUISING (7) Won narrowly by a head last run at this venue. Expecting to settle positively. Eita Inoue does know the horse very well. Yuuji Uchikoshi stable are on a hot streak. Expect to go close. MEISHO CLIFT (8) Did well when 2nd last run here. Has plenty of early speed. Going well this preparation. Mamoru Tanaka stable are having a great run of late. Can win. COMME LE VENT (1) Solid effort when winning by 2 1/2L last time around here and suited at this trip in the past. Racing consistently this preparation and has drawn the rails. Can give this a shake. MEINER TREMORS (3) Landed the spoils when winning by 1 1/2L last start here. Displays good tactical speed. Minoru Miyagawa is a bonus. Each way appeal.

Produced a sharp last-start win at this track, clearing out to beat Himekamino Itadaki by two and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. She had been fourth to Tani Noble the start prior, beaten seven and a half lengths but finishing off strongly. Three wins from four starts at 1400m is a key asset, and she has enough current form to be a genuine place hope again.

Ran on late for second at this track last start, but was still beaten four lengths by Lala Jacaranda and had been unwanted in the market. His previous eighth was much weaker, fading late and beaten over 15 lengths by True Knight. The track-and-distance record is respectable, yet recent form leaves him with plenty to do against sharper rivals.

Bounced strongly at this track last start, flashing home to beat Scuba by a length and a half after firm market confidence took him into very short odds-on territory. That was a far better performance than his Mdn seventh over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt the start prior. He is now one win from one at this venue, keeps the winning jockey, and has the right profile to justify top billing.

Went close as favourite at this track last start, looming up before being beaten a neck by Star Cruising. That was a clear improvement on his B4 sixth at Mombetsu, where he was beaten six and a half lengths despite working home fairly. The latest run gives him a base, but he must turn that narrow defeat into a stronger closing statement.

Finished strongly for third at this track last start, beaten just over half a length by Samburu despite being unwanted in the market. That followed a three-length win over 1600m here when he beat Clymenus after being near the top of betting. He has a win and a placing from two starts at this venue, and his recent work says he is a serious winning threat.

Held on by a head to beat Bold State at this track last start after being close in an open market. He had also placed here the run prior, though was beaten just under six lengths by Glorious Hero. His local record is sound, with one win and two placings from four starts, but this asks for a stronger performance than his recent margins suggest.

Second-up after winning at this track first-up, holding off Good Vibes by a neck after being near the top of betting. She was under pressure late, so the margin leaves some room for others to challenge, but her broader profile is reliable: four wins and five placings from 14 starts, plus three wins from three rides for Eita Inoue. She shapes as a solid place chance with upside.

Was expected to win last start but finished second to Samburu, beaten six lengths after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. The start prior was much better, defeating Kuruma Torasan by six lengths at this track with plenty in hand. Three wins and one placing from four starts here give him a solid platform, though he must rebound from that costly defeat.

Won by two lengths over Forest Takin at this track last start, travelling in front and extending comfortably. That was a sharp turnaround from her ninth to Tani Noble two runs back, when she was big odds, conceded a huge start and was never involved. Weight relief helps, but two wins from 36 starts at this track and distance tempers confidence.
