KOCHI   26 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Shinzen Shine leading Peisha Nit. PRECIOUS MENO (8) sets the standard after successive Kochi wins, the latest a favourite's demolition job where she beat Quad Malinin by a long way. She has also won at this track and distance, so the main task is backing up that peak rather than proving the set-up. MEISHO YUZURUHA (10) is the class runner coming back from 3yo+ Open company, and while recent finishing positions read poorly, a six-length defeat at Chukyo Dirt is stronger form than most bring here. COUNTRY VICTOR (2) is the safer local yardstick after a third to Extra Note and a solid Saga fourth in 3yo+ COND grade. SHINZEN SHINE (1) lacks the same winning profile but has distance credentials and was fourth in the same Extra Note race, making him a genuine minor-money threat if he holds that level.

Shiro Hara
Improved to fourth at Kochi last start, beaten five lengths by Extra Note after being near the top of an open market. His previous run was plain, ninth to Or Du Souverain after enjoying the right run and offering little late, so the rebound mattered. The inside draw can help a natural leader use his distance record, and he profiles as a genuine place hope rather than the main winning threat.

3YO  DK B  COLT 57.0KG

Continued a solid run of form when third at Kochi last start, beaten four lengths by Extra Note at generous odds. Two back he was fourth in a 3yo+ COND at Saga, beaten three and a half lengths by Rommet after settling rearward. With two wins and seven places from 21 starts at Kochi, he brings reliable local form, though the distance query keeps him short of a standout.

Naoto Kitajo
Was fourth at Kochi last start but beaten out of sight by Black Orange after failing to finish it off, which makes the position read better than the run. She had also been second last behind Frosty Quartz two back after sitting handy and weakening badly. Her season record gives some support, and she can race on speed, but she needs a clear lift to convert that into more than place claims.

Worked home evenly when sixth at Kochi first-up, beaten eight lengths by Slaylar at big odds. The run prior, back in April, was also safely held when second last behind T Up Mach and beaten over 11 lengths. He has placed at this track and distance, but the recent form is not strong enough to recommend without a much more decisive second-up improvement.

Finished ninth at Kochi last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Extra Note after starting at big odds. That followed an even heavier defeat behind Himekamino Itadaki when she conceded a huge start and was never in the race. She has placed with Shinji Hatanaka before, but the current form pattern is a firm concern and others bring far more persuasive claims.

TOMOHARU EBESUMOTO
5YO  BAY  MARE 55.0KG

Finished well held when second last behind Extra Note at Kochi last start after being sent out at big odds. That was a sharp regression from her previous second to Frosty Quartz, where she was beaten a head at long odds and was only grabbed late. She has placed three times from twelve at this track and distance, but the latest run makes her hard to trust as a winning hope.

Danox Co. Ltd.
Made some improvement when fifth at Kochi last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Extra Note after being near the top of an open market. Her previous run in a 3yo Maiden at Sapporo Dirt was poor, finishing second last and well beaten by Rosophia over 1700m. She remains a maiden, but that latest local run gives her a minor-money path if she can progress again.

MAMORU TANAKA
3YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 54.0KG

Comes through two emphatic Kochi wins, most recently starting favourite and beating Quad Malinin by a long way after extending clear. She had already won a 3yo COND at this track by two and a half lengths over Night Sniper, so this is no one-off spike. Her track-and-distance record is positive, and the current form gives her the clearest winning profile in the race.

Seiichi Iketani
Dropped out to finish second last at Kochi most recently, beaten over 14 lengths by Slaylar after being among the outsiders. She was also last behind Snow Cruise two back, never competitive and beaten out of sight at long odds. Her track-and-distance placing record and Masayoshi Yamasaki partnership offer background positives, but recent form leaves a sizeable task.

Yoshitaka Matsumoto
Returns from five weeks off after finishing 11th in a 3yo+ Open at Chukyo Dirt, beaten six lengths by Tripolitania when he did not quicken. His previous Hanshin Dirt run was much worse, last and beaten over 14 lengths by Grande Plage after being unwanted in the market. This is a significant class drop and Taichi Nagamori is a key booking, but the back in trip query remains real.

Was only seventh at Kochi last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Extra Note at big odds. The run prior was more encouraging, third to Token Kumi and beaten just over three lengths, although the comment was that she was safely held. She has placed at this track and distance and with Yuta Goma, but she still needs to lift sharply to trouble the better chances.
