KOCHI   26 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Mozu Ganesa leading the way. NIGHT SNIPER (9) sets the standard through consistency, having won here by a neck last start as an odds-on favourite after a solid second to Precious Meno the run prior. His overall record of two wins and four places from eight starts gives him the most reliable profile. MOZU GANESA (6) is the obvious danger after dominant back-to-back Kochi wins, most recently scoring by eight lengths from Meisho Goketsu, and three wins from three starts at this track demands respect. CITY PROSPER (7) resumes from a break but has an excellent track-and-distance record and her latest third behind Bari King was sound enough for this. YUMITCHI LOVE (8) has more of a place profile than a winning one, though his fourth to Fulfilment keeps him in the wider mix if the main pair come back to the field.
1 84097 BURNING HOT
TADAYOSHI HOSOKAWA
3YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 55.0KG

Returns from a two-month break after finishing seventh behind Bari King at Kochi, beaten over 14 lengths and unwanted in the market. Her previous ninth behind Zagara carried a similar shape, with no headway made from a tough position. The record at this track and distance is also against her, so a sharp turnaround is required.

JUNYA ISHIMOTO
MEDIUM BLUE, SLEEVES, WHITE ARMBANDS, White cap
2 32255 TOSANO SERENADE
SHINJI KUDO
3YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Has been fifth at her past two Kochi runs, beaten just over eight lengths by Fulfilment last start after settling rearward, then seven and a half lengths behind Bari King prior. The market has kept her near the top of betting, and two wins plus two places from six track-and-distance starts keep her in the minor-money picture, but she must convert that support into a stronger finish.

SEIYA TATARA
WHITE, RED RIGHT SASH, WHITE SLEEVES, RED DOUBLE ARMBAND, Black cap
3 49850 SNOW PRINCE
S BEPPU
3YO  BAY  COLT 57.0KG

Was second last behind Fulfilment at Kochi a fortnight ago, well beaten after being miles back and failing to improve, while the market wanted little to do with him. His previous fifth in a 3yo+ COND at Saga had more merit from well back, though he was still beaten over 14 lengths. A return to his better track-and-distance form is needed to make an impact.

MEGUMI JONO
GREEN, WHITE RIGHT SASH, GREEN SLEEVES, WHITE DOUBLE ARMBAND, Red cap
4 61533 SOREYUKE KATSUKO
KAZUTO TAIRA
3YO  GREY  FILLY 55.0KG

Placed again when third to Night Sniper at Kochi last start, but the margin was a long way and she only battled on after being unwanted in the market. Her prior third behind Fulfilment, beaten four lengths at big odds, reads better. Four placings from 16 starts at this track and distance suggest she can fill a hole, though winning requires a clear lift.

5 93908 COSMO AMULETTE
JOJI TANAKA
3YO  GREY  COLT 57.0KG
Big Red Farm
Started near the top of an open market last time but finished eighth behind Fulfilment at Kochi, beaten over 19 lengths after settling rearward. The run prior was a tenth in a 3yo Maiden over 2200m at Niigata, where he came under pressure late. Still a maiden after six starts, he needs the class drop to spark a sizeable rebound.

MASAYOSHI YAMASAKI
RED, YELLOW DIAMOND BAND, RED SLEEVES, YELLOW STRIPE, Yellow cap
6 00111 MOZU GANESA
HIROKI NISHIYAMA
3YO  GREY  COLT 57.0KG
Masaji Kitagawa
Arrives in peak form after winning by eight lengths from Meisho Goketsu at Kochi, heavily backed into very short odds-on territory and scoring with plenty in reserve. That followed a five-length win from Lord Belfast, again as a dominant favourite. Three wins from three starts at this track make him a major chance if he repeats that authority.
6
YUTA GOMA
WHITE, BLACK DIAMOND CHECK, WHITE SLEEVES, BLUE ARMBANDS, Green cap
7 12153 CITY PROSPER
YUJI UCHIKOSHI
3YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG
Yuko Nakamura
Returns from a two-month break after a solid third behind Bari King at Kochi, beaten just under four lengths when near the top of betting. Her prior fifth behind Sox as odds-on favourite was less convincing, with no quickening when asked. The two wins and one place from three track-and-distance starts are a strong anchor, so she remains a genuine place chance fresh.
7
TAICHI NAGAMORI
RED, GREEN ARMBANDS, Orange cap
8 36754 YUMITCHI LOVE
TERUYUKI KUNISAWA
3YO  DK B  COLT 57.0KG

Improved slightly to finish fourth behind Fulfilment at Kochi last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. His previous fifth behind Precious Meno was only fair and he failed to finish it off. The maiden record is the main restraint, with three placings from 26 starts, so he profiles as a minor-money chance rather than a winner.
8
MASASHI UEDA
RED, WHITE STAR, WHITE SLEEVES, RED ARMBANDS, Pink cap
9 22321 NIGHT SNIPER
TATSUYA NAKANISHI
3YO  CHESTNUT  COLT 56.0KG

Closed off strongly to beat Crescent Gold by a neck at Kochi last start, justifying odds-on favouritism and adding to a very consistent campaign. He had earlier run second to Precious Meno when well supported, so the form has held up across recent starts. With two wins and four places from eight overall, he brings the right blend of reliability and winning intent.
