GOING:

Race 12 1400m Track:
A race that is devoid of early speed and it is hard to nominate a leader. MEINER BARBIZON (1) is the runner to beat on overall profile despite two plain recent runs, with his Kochi 1400m record and class drop giving him stronger credentials than most in a modest C3. He was beaten over 12 lengths by Arde Coco last time and must sharpen up, but this is his chance to use that proven track-and-trip base. ACROPOLIS (2) appeals as the main danger if he can reproduce the third to Arde Coco two starts back, where he closed from an unlikely spot and beat key rivals Flan Fizz and Meiner Barbizon. The query is his last-start failure at big odds. FLAN FIZZ (5) has a similar pattern, with a sound fourth two back but a well-held latest run, and his 65-start maiden record keeps the confidence measured. AKI ROCK (12) resumes from a freshening with place claims built around his third to Shonan La Joie two runs ago and a proven Kochi 1400m record, though his latest run was poor.
1	39589	MEINER BARBIZON TETSUYA NAGASE 17YO DK B HORSE 55.0KG K.Thoroughbred Club Ruffian Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing ninth at Kochi, beaten over 12 lengths by Arde Coco when giving away a big start and never getting into the race. His previous run was similar, beaten over 13 lengths behind Shonan La Joie, so the recent form reads plainly. The counter is a long-standing Kochi 1400m record of three wins and 16 placings, plus a class drop and a winning rider returning. He needs to lift, but this is the right sort of race for that rebound.	1 NAOMI HAMA
2	98038	ACROPOLIS KAZUTO TAIRA 5YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Masamichi Hayashi Failed to make an impact when eighth at Kochi last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Slaylar after settling too far back at big odds. The run prior is the one that keeps him right in calculations, as he charged into third behind Arde Coco, beaten three and a half lengths, and beat Flan Fizz and Meiner Barbizon home. Still a 40-start maiden, but his place record gives him a solid chance in this grade if he repeats that better effort.	2 MEGUMI JONO
3	08897	APPLE CANDY KAZUTO TAIRA 6YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Was unwanted in the market and finished seventh at Kochi last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Slaylar after conceding a big start and never threatening. That followed a ninth behind Himekamino Itadaki when beaten over 19 lengths, also without any real response. She has three career wins, but no placing from five tries at this track and distance and no placing in 22 starts over the past 12 months make this a stern test.	3 SHINJO KAISEI
4	63008	KHACHAPURI TADAYOSHI HOSOKAWA 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Finished a distant last behind Black Orange at Kochi last start, settling rearward and weakening further in a run that offered little encouragement. Two back she was again last, beaten a long way by Frosty Quartz after fading late. The positive is that she has won at this track and distance and gets another class drop, but the current form is too poor to ignore. She needs conditions to fall perfectly to sneak into the minor money.	4 SEISHIRO OSAWA
5	47648	FLAN FIZZ SHINICHI TANAKA 4YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG Was among the outsiders and finished well held behind Frere Filles at Kochi last start after settling well back and failing to improve. His fourth to Arde Coco two runs ago was much better, beaten five and a half lengths after working home in eye-catching style from an impossible spot, and he was near the top of an open market that day. The 65-start maiden record is the obvious concern, but a repeat of that prior run keeps him in the winning mix.	5 SHINJI HATANAKA
6	x00x6	TORAJIRO TERUYUKI KUNISAWA 5YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG Finished sixth first-up at Kochi, well beaten by Keiai Shelby, though he did make late ground after looking no hope. The run before a break was much worse in a 3yo+ C1, when last behind Galapagos and beaten out of sight. His career record of seven wins from 26 starts says he has ability, but he is unplaced from four goes at this track and distance and has not placed in eight starts over the past year. Improvement is required second-up.	6 JUNYA ISHIMOTO
7	95007	NATURAL SMILE TERUYUKI KUNISAWA 4YO DK B FILLY 52.0KG Was beaten out of sight behind Meisho Clift at Kochi last start after settling rearward, and the market gave her little hope. Her previous run was no better, finishing second last behind Ask Duramente and never becoming competitive at big odds. The light weight is some help, but she remains unplaced in 31 career starts and has not placed in 12 attempts at this track and distance. Others have far stronger claims.	7 NAOYUKI TSUKAMOTO
8	68787	VIVID PINK TOMOHARU EBESUMOTO 5YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Finished seventh behind Night Of Bund at Kochi last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after giving herself too much to do. She was also safely held behind Arde Coco two back, beaten over 11 lengths, although she did finish ahead of Meiner Barbizon in that race. Her latest 12-month record is a genuine concern, but the class drop and recent comparative form give her some hope of filling a placing rather than winning.	8 SEIYA TATARA
9	69708	BOURGEOIS Ureshi Katsunori 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Him Rock Racing Holdings Co. Ltd. Finished eighth behind Meisho Clift at Kochi last start, never competitive and beaten out of sight after settling rearward at long odds. Two back she was second last behind Arde Coco, beaten over 16 lengths, and again had too much ground to make up. The class drop is noted, but she is still a maiden after 35 starts and unplaced in 13 runs at this track and distance. She needs a major form reversal.	9 MASASHI UEDA
10	58667	NAMURA VIOLA SHINICHI TANAKA 5YO DK B MARE 55.0KG Mutsuhiro Namura Was never competitive when seventh behind Precious Meno at Kochi last start, beaten out of sight after having too much work to do. Her sixth behind Arde Coco two runs ago was more competitive, beaten eight and a half lengths after making a decent late finish, but she still never looked likely to win. With no win from 62 starts, the ceiling is clear, yet the class drop gives her some minor-money appeal if she finds that earlier closing effort.	10 SHOJI NISHIMORI
11	74975	SAGEBRUSH MITOSHI HIGASHIHARA 4YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Big Red Farm Worked home fairly from well back when fifth behind Precious Meno at Kochi last start, but he was still beaten out of sight and never a winning chance. The previous run saw him seventh behind Arde Coco, beaten over 10 lengths after coming under pressure late. He remains winless from 30 starts, which limits confidence, but a placing from ten tries at this track and distance gives him a small platform for minor honours.	11 KONDO SHOGETSU
12	95039	AKI ROCK SHINICHI TANAKA 10YO DK B HORSE 57.0KG Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing ninth behind Frosty Quartz at Kochi, beaten over 16 lengths when unwanted in the market. His run prior was far better, charging home for third behind Shonan La Joie and beaten five lengths at big odds. He has two wins and four placings from 60 starts at this track and distance, so the set-up is familiar. A win would require a rebound, but he is capable of landing in the placings.	12 NAOKI KIMURA
