Kochi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400

ROYAL QUARK (10) is the danger, fresh off a 1st at Kochi 1300m on 22 Sep (FIRM) by 0.5L with 56kg after a prior 2nd to RIKEA BOLERO (6). BEAR MAGNUM (1) is second-up and impressed winning here 1300m on 6 Sep (SOFT) at $2.15 from barrier 3; draws barrier 1. NINE SMILE (4) is fit and consistent, scoring here 1300m on 5 Sep (HEAVY) then 3rd on 22 Sep, both with 55kg.

Debut winner at Kochi 1300m on 06 Sep, scoring by 20L on a Soft track with 56kg at $2.15 after landing from barrier 3 for trainer Jouji Tanaka. Second-up here from barrier 1 with the same weight after 25 days, and he stays close to that trip. Strong winning profile at the track suggests he can measure up again.

Third-up and back to barrier 3, he reunites with Taichi Nagamori, with whom he has a winning record at the track. Won here over 1300m two starts back on heavy (SP 4.4) before a 7th of 11 last time on the same surface, so a cleaner run from this draw could see him bounce back.

On a short turnaround after a solid 3rd at Kochi over 1300m on 22 Sep, beaten 2.5L at $22 on firm ground. She won the start prior over the same trip on heavy by a nose at $23, and draws barrier 4 again with 55kg. Recent uplift in form suggests she can be competitive if she holds that level.

Draws barrier 5 here, an improvement from last start’s 7, and reunites with Shougetsu Kondou who rode that latest placing. Solid credentials back around this trip and setup.

Comes into this third-up off a dominant Kochi 1300m win on heavy 19 days ago, scoring by 7L at $1.45 with 56kg. Previously ran 2nd over the same trip on heavy, beaten 0.5L by Tosano Shunrai at $1.80. Draws barrier 6 and sticks at 56kg, so a repeat of that latest effort would see him competitive.

Fourth-up and back to Kochi 1300m, she owns a solid local record (track: 3:0-0-2). Latest run 19 days ago was 5th of 11 over 1300m on heavy (55kg, SP 101) behind Rikea Bolero, but prior thirds at Kochi over the same trip on heavy read well. Minor claims if she reproduces those placing efforts from a similar barrier.

Fourth-up and on a short turnaround after a 3rd at Kochi over 1300m 11 days ago, beaten 2.5L at $1.75 behind South One. His track record reads (3:0-0-1), with that recent placing the clear peak, and he holds 56kg again. From barrier 8 after drawing 4 last time, he looks capable of holding form at a similar trip (+100m).

Best recent effort was 5th at Kochi over 1300m on heavy three runs back, beaten 4.75L at $31. She comes off a 6th/11 at Kochi 1300m on heavy 19 days ago at $301 and draws barrier 9 after gate 11, keeping 55kg with Masashi Ueda aboard. Honest enough locally but needs to lift to get into the finish.

Comes off a Kochi 1300m win nine days ago, landing the odds at $1.4 when beating Reward Lauren by 0.5L with 56kg. Consistent this season (3:1-1-1) and maintains the Gouma/Beppu combo that has delivered a (4:1-1-2) record. Draw widens to barrier 10, but his Kochi profile (5:1-2-2) suggests he holds his form.
