Kochi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1300
ZENNO BONITA (5) Disappointing outing when 6th last start at the track and will be dropping in distance. Has to be included. BENTEN KAGURA (12) Faded away to finish 9th last start at Fukushima. Expected to rebound. First start for a new trainer. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. JASNO (1) Below par when 8th last time at the track but drawn beautifully. Going back up in distance. Has the ability to figure. WIN SPHENE (8) Struggled with the pace when 16th last start at Fukushima and dropping back to a shorter trip. Finishes off strongly. Underrated.

Was $17.00 and average performance when 8th last time at the track but gets the perfect draw. Back over extra ground. Expecting a strong showing.

Started at $126.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 18th last run at Kokura but can find a nice position from the draw. First start for a new trainer. Would need to step up.

Started $101.00 and didn't attack the line when 13th last run at Tokyo. First race for a new trainer. Does take a while to get into stride. Entitled to be big odds.

At $101.00 looked outclassed when 16th last start at Hanshin and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Might have to make up considerable ground. Has to have a lot go its way.
