OHI   16 Sep 2026
 
GOING: S

Race 3 1600m

Track: SOFT      

Moderate tempo with Peisha Kiseki leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. BEE TRINITY (7) is the top pick on the strength of her win here two runs ago, when she beat M T King by a neck as favourite and confirmed her liking for the Ohi mile. Last start was below that level, finishing eighth and beaten seven lengths, but her track-and-distance record and solid partnership with Sho Yoshii give her the right profile to rebound. CALTHA PALUSTRIS (2) is the obvious danger after successive seconds, most recently beaten a nose by Rapide over 1800m, and the return to a winning distance is a genuine plus. PEISHA KISEKI (10) has been knocking on the door, beaten a neck as favourite last time after also placing behind Bee Trinity. The wide draw and maiden record are the reservations. FAIR CLOUD (3) has the strongest place profile, with three wins and six places from 15 starts at this course and distance.

6YO  DK B  HORSE 56.0KG

Second last here a fortnight ago when beaten over 16 lengths by M T King, after conceding a big start and never getting into the race. The run prior was also plain, finishing tenth behind Eros and beaten just over nine lengths at long odds. Past track-and-trip form is noted, but being unplaced in all 16 starts in the past 12 months leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Went within a nose of winning here over 1800m last start, only pipped late by Rapide, and that backed up a solid second to Nishino Konukaame when near the top of an open market. He returns to a track and distance where he has won and placed twice from 13 attempts, while Haruto Nakayama has a sound record aboard. The overall win strike is modest, but his current form reads strongly.

Finished sixth here last start, beaten six lengths by M T King after settling well back, so there was no obvious hidden merit. His previous third behind Revive Maillard was stronger, and the market gave him respect there. The key support is his record at this track and distance, with three wins and six places from 15 starts, which keeps him in the minor-money mix.

Showed more when fifth here last start, beaten five and a half lengths by M T King after leading at long odds. That was a clear lift on the previous 1400m failure, where she faded late and was beaten over 15 lengths by Maple Peer. She is still unplaced in all eight starts this season, but the latest effort gives her a realistic minor-money platform if repeated.

Worked on without threatening when ninth here last start, beaten just over seven lengths by M T King after being unwanted in the market. His prior sixth behind Omega Drive was similar, beaten nine and a half lengths with only even late work. He has placed four times from 25 starts at this track and distance, but the 49-start maiden record makes the win case difficult.

Finished tenth over 1200m here last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Star Maiden at long odds, and never looked a winning hope. Two back he was last behind Omega Drive, beaten over 19 lengths after getting a long way out of his ground. Returning to a winning distance is some help, but unplaced form through the past 12 months is hard to recommend.

Yoshiaki Baba
Needs to bounce back from an eighth here behind World Fountain, where she was near the top of betting but failed to quicken and was beaten seven lengths. The stronger reference is her previous win at Ohi, scoring by a neck from M T King as favourite after working into the race well. With two wins and one place from seven at this track and distance, she has the right credentials to rebound.

Dropped out sharply when second last over 1800m here last start, beaten over 18 lengths by Rapide at big odds after being close enough to improve. His previous run was no better, finishing tenth behind Omega Drive and beaten over 15 lengths. Eight career wins show past ability, but being unplaced in all twelve starts in the past 12 months leaves him with a major task.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing tenth over 1400m here in January, beaten over 14 lengths by Omasa after conceding a big start. The start prior was a distant seventh behind Three Legend, despite making some late ground. She remains a maiden after ten starts, is unplaced at both this track and distance, and faces a clear improvement task first-up.

Just missed here last start, beaten a neck by M T King after leading and being run down late as favourite. Two back she fought on for third behind Bee Trinity, beaten a length and a half in another competitive Ohi mile run. Her recent consistency is clear, with four placings from five starts in the past 12 months, but the maiden record and wide barrier keep the win case just short of straightforward.
