Kochi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
MEISHO KAZUSA (8) last appeared five weeks ago over 1400m at Tokyo where he was down the track on the JRA circuit. This is his first run for the Tatsuya Nakanishi stable. Plenty to like about his prospects back to easier company. MONCH (4) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1300m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 0.7 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SAISEISEI (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 23 when beaten 9 lengths into fifth at this track over 1600m after being in the firing line on the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. SUGINO MAJESTY (5) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1600m here last time. Well placed and is among the chances.
