KOCHI   27 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 3 1300m

Track:      

The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. RIFFLE FORCE (9) deserves top billing after improving sharply at Kochi, finishing second to Suzuka Rose King after starting odds-on. She beat Crack Me Up through that line, but the fact she was beaten four lengths as a short-priced favourite keeps the race open. PEISHA MY DAYS (4) brings a different profile, having fought on for third at Kasamatsu when beaten two lengths, a much better effort than his well-beaten 3yo Maiden run at Hanshin Dirt. CRACK ME UP (7) has placed at both Kochi runs and has also placed at this distance, so he is a genuine threat if he can turn those minors into a sharper winning effort. TAMAMO AMALFI (1) was fourth behind Sunrise Judge last start and second to Piko Marquise before that, with market respect at both runs. She has already beaten Crack Me Up at Kochi, which keeps her in the winning conversation, though the distance query makes her a shade less appealing than the top pair.

Tamamo Co. Ltd.
Worked home from well back when fourth to Sunrise Judge at Kochi last start, beaten just under six lengths after being near the top of betting. The run prior was a sound second to Piko Marquise, beaten four lengths after being run down late. She has also beaten Crack Me Up here recently, but the distance query keeps her more in the each-way bracket than as a dominant winning prospect.

TERUYUKI KUNISAWA
3YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Finished tenth behind Sunrise Judge at Kochi last start and was well beaten after settling miles back and failing to improve. That followed a seventh to Ravinia Park, beaten nine and a half lengths when unwanted in the market. With 22 starts and no placing, the class drop is not enough to offset the form concerns.

Was seventh to Sunrise Judge at Kochi last start, beaten over 12 lengths after having plenty of ground to make up and not quickening into the race. Two back she finished second to Energy Ayu over 800m here, but was still beaten six lengths at long odds. Lightly raced, though the latest run says she has plenty to find.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a much better third to Kaseno Soleil at Kasamatsu, beaten two lengths when an outside chance in the betting and fighting on solidly. The previous 3yo Maiden run at Hanshin Dirt was poor, finishing second last and well beaten, but the latest effort is the run to assess. If he holds that level second-up, he has a strong winning case in this field.

HIROKI NISHIYAMA
3YO  DK B  FILLY 55.0KG

Finished second last to Sunrise Judge at Kochi last start, never competitive and beaten out of sight after being among the outsiders. Her previous run was also plain, finishing last to Mozu Ganesa and beaten a long way at big odds. One placing from 24 starts and no placing from 14 at this track and distance leaves her with a steep task.

Hajime Doi
Improved into second behind Wonder Muse at Kochi last start, but was beaten eight lengths and the comment suggests she battled into the minor money rather than threatened the winner. The run prior was a well-beaten 12th in a 3yo Maiden at Fukushima Dirt. Her light weight and one-from-one placing record at Kochi help, yet she profiles as a place hope rather than the one to beat.

TADAYOSHI HOSOKAWA
3YO  BAY  COLT 57.0KG
Cosmo View Farm Co. Ltd.
Has put together consecutive Kochi thirds, most recently behind Suzuka Rose King when beaten seven lengths after settling rearward. He had earlier worked home evenly behind Piko Marquise, beaten eight lengths, and his two starts at this track have both produced placings. Riffle Force had his measure a couple of weeks ago, but his consistency keeps him among the stronger winning hopes.

SHINJI KUDO
3YO  GREY  COLT 57.0KG

Closed off fairly from well back when fifth to Suzuka Rose King at Kochi last start, beaten eight and a half lengths, but he was still behind Riffle Force and Crack Me Up in that race. Two back he was sixth to Ravinia Park, beaten just over nine lengths at generous odds. Unplaced from five starts, he needs more than honest late work.

Lord Horse Club Co. Ltd.
Lifted sharply at Kochi last start when second to Suzuka Rose King, beaten four lengths, and that also gives her a recent edge over Crack Me Up. The reservation is that she started odds-on and only held on fairly after being right there. Her prior 3yo Maiden run at Chukyo was well below this level, but the local form and stable profile make her the key runner to beat.

Yoichi Masuda
Failed badly behind Sunrise Judge at Kochi last start, finishing last and beaten a long way after settling rearward at long odds. The run prior was better, leading when fourth to Ravinia Park and beaten six lengths, but she remains unplaced from eight starts and unplaced at her only run at this distance. Needs to recapture that earlier effort to be a minor hope.
