Race 3 1300m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of speed from Fulfilment and Bari King. FULFILMENT (7) has the clearest winning profile after consecutive Kochi wins, the latest by three lengths as a short odds-on favourite from Shiden Issen. Her two-from-two record at this track is a strong point, and she again looks the benchmark if she holds that level. BARI KING (6) is the obvious danger, having won here two starts back before finishing second to V Beam as an odds-on favourite; his overall record of four wins and three placings from seven starts gives him real substance. SHIDEN ISSEN (4) improved sharply when second to Fulfilment last start and has claims if he repeats that run, though the maiden record remains a genuine reservation. GUERRIERE KIC (11) caught the eye late when fourth at big odds and brings enough Kochi track-and-distance grounding to be a sound place hope with some upside if the main pair come back at all.

WIDE ALBA
TETSUYA NAGASE 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Kyoko Habata Finished last at Kochi two weeks ago, beaten over 17 lengths by V Beam after having too much to do and failing to make ground. The start prior at Hakodate was only a 12th in a 3yo Maiden, beaten just over seven lengths when unwanted in the market. With no wins and just one placing from 13 starts, even the class drop leaves him with a sizeable task. |

FURINKAZAN
S BEPPU 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Hiroyuki Kawakatsu Held third behind Fulfilment at Kochi last start, beaten five and a half lengths after racing right there but lacking the required change-up. He had been sixth to Bari King here previously, yet his wider record is sound with three wins and two placings from nine starts. Proven at this track and distance, he shapes as a genuine minor-money hope rather than a clear winning threat. |

SOX
YOICHI MIYAJI 3YO DK B COLT 57.0KG Was only fifth behind V Beam at Kochi last start, beaten eight and a half lengths, and the market had him as an outside chance. His better pointer came the run prior when second to A To Z at long odds after finishing strongly. He has placed five times from eight starts at this track and distance without winning, so he profiles as a place chance if ridden within range. |

SHIDEN ISSEN
YUMA KAWANO 3YO DK B COLT 57.0KG Big Red Farm Lifted noticeably at Kochi last start, running second to Fulfilment and beaten three lengths at generous odds after settling rearward. That was a sharp improvement on his previous second-last to A To Z, when unwanted in the market and beaten seven and a half lengths. The concern is his 18-start maiden record, but the latest run is strong enough to make him a key chance again. |
4 SHINJI HATANAKA |

FOREST TAKIN
S BEPPU 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Was safely held at Kochi last start, finishing ninth behind V Beam and beaten over 13 lengths after failing to make headway. The run before at Saga was better on paper, third in a 3yo+ COND, but she was still beaten seven lengths as one of the better-backed runners. With only one placing from seven starts at this track and distance, she needs to lift sharply. |
5 MEGUMI JONO |

| 6 | 11312 |
BARI KING
MAMORU TANAKA 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Ran second to V Beam at Kochi last start, beaten two lengths as the odds-on favourite, so punters were entitled to want a little more. The run prior he beat Lanzenreiter here by just under a length as favourite, and his record remains excellent with four wins and three placings from seven starts. Three wins and a placing from four at this track and distance make him a major contender. |

FULFILMENT
YUJI UCHIKOSHI 3YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Big Red Farm Comes off consecutive Kochi wins, most recently beating Shiden Issen by three lengths as a short odds-on favourite after putting a clear margin on the field. She had also beaten Crescent Gold by two and a half lengths the start prior, again as the market elect. Two wins from two starts at this track, plus a leading jockey and trainer combination, make her the one they all have to get past. |
7 TAICHI NAGAMORI |

CESA SONG
Toshihiro Nishigawa 3YO DK B COLT 57.0KG Kenji Tada Finished sixth behind V Beam at Kochi last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after settling handy and failing to quicken. Two back he was tenth over 1900m here, well beaten by 22 lengths and unwanted in the market. His three wins and a placing from six at this track and distance are the counterpoint, but current form says he must rediscover plenty. |
8 MASAYOSHI YAMASAKI |

KIYOSU RYOMA
SHINICHI TANAKA 3YO DK B COLT 57.0KG Has been a long way from the money at his past two, finishing second last behind V Beam last start and beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. The previous run was similar, second last to Zagara at Kochi and beaten over 14 lengths as an outsider. His career record is respectable, but recent efforts provide little confidence that he can trouble these. |
9 NAOKI KIMURA |

JOSHO BRILLER
MASAMITSU SAKAI 3YO GREY FILLY 55.0KG Yoshitaka Kumada Was never in the race when eighth behind V Beam at Kochi last start, beaten over 12 lengths after conceding a huge start, and she was unwanted in the market. Before that she was sixth to A To Z, beaten just under six lengths when an outside chance. Her track-and-distance record reads well, but recent performances leave her needing a clear turnaround. |
10 TAKUYA OKAMURA |

GUERRIERE KIC
SHINJI KUDO 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Caught the eye late at Kochi last start when fourth to V Beam, beaten six and a half lengths at big odds after having plenty of ground to make up. She had worked home evenly when seventh to A To Z here before that, so the pattern is honest without being dominant. Three wins at this track and distance keep her in the place conversation, with winning still a tougher ask. |
