Kochi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1300
MAONO SAILING (2) maps as the one to beat after a 1300m Kochi win on 20 Sep, scoring by 4L at $2.5 and now drawing barrier 2 after jumping from 6 there. THREE GOING (4) is the danger, having beaten MAONO SAILING (2) here over 1300m on 26 Jul and then ran 2nd in this grade on 6 Sep. KABACHITARE (3) ties in through that 20 Sep race when 2nd to MAONO SAILING (2) and gets a better barrier. SOUTH ONE (1) comes off a 1300m Kochi win on 20 Sep and draws the inside, with the same rider up.

Broke through last start at Kochi over 1300m (GOOD) under 56kg from barrier 2 at $41, beating Energy Lumiere, and now draws the inside gate. That win came 12 days ago and he stays at the same trip with the same rider and trainer combination that has delivered a win this season. Fourth-up and back to a favourable setup, he looks set to give another honest account.

Comes fourth-up off a dominant 4L win at Kochi over 1300m on 20 Sep (56kg, SP 2.5), beating Kabachitare. Earlier ran 2nd over this track and trip on 26 Jul (2L) behind Three Going, with a soft-track miss in between. Draws barrier 2 again and stays at 56kg, so a repeat of his latest effort keeps him in the mix.

Fourth-up and improving, she ran 2nd at Kochi over 1300m on 20 Sep, beaten 4L by Maono Sailing at $6.5 carrying 55kg. Draws barrier 3 again and sticks to the 1300m where her track/distance record sits at (3:0-1-1), suggesting she’s holding a consistent platform to be competitive.

Third-up and proven at Kochi 1300m with a track/distance record of (2:1-1), she reunites with Eita Inoue who has the same (2:1-1) record on her. Last start she ran 2nd of 8 at Kochi over 1300m on soft, beaten 3L by Sansan Kic at $8 carrying 55kg, and she draws slightly better from barrier 4 today. Solid profile for another forward showing.

Second-up after a debut 2nd at Kochi over 1300m 12 days ago, where she carried 55kg from barrier 5 and started $4. Finished 20L behind Jack Arthur in a small field of four, but the experience should help and she again draws well in barrier 5. With a run under her belt, she can be more competitive here.

Kochi 1300m winner two starts back on FIRM, scoring by 1.5L at $81 from barrier 2. Last start he drew wide and finished 4th of 11 over 1300m on HEAVY, 10.5L off Rikea Bolero, and now comes back to barrier 6 after 20 days. Proven at the track and trip, he can give a competitive account if he reproduces that dry-track win.

Third-up and on a 12-day turnaround, he has already handled Kochi with a 2nd over 1300m on 6 Sep (Soft) at $10, carrying 56kg from the inside draw. He couldn’t repeat it last time when 5th of 8 over the same trip on 20 Sep (Good), 7.51L off Maono Sailing at $5.5. With barrier 7 today and the same 56kg, a return to his debut effort would see him competitive.

Returns on a short 10-day turnaround after finishing 4th of 5 at Kochi over 1300m, beaten 3L at $6 on firm going. Her best effort at the track and trip was a 2nd of 5 in June (1300m, heavy) behind Rikea Samba, and she’s repeatedly faced Royal Quark in this prep. From barrier 8 with 55kg, a similar run to her latest keeps her in the mix for a placing.

Third-up and back at Kochi, she was 11th of 11 over 1300m on heavy 20 days ago at $91 when beaten 21.05L by Rikea Bolero. Prior run was a 2nd of 5 over the same trip on heavy, and she again draws mid-field in barrier 9; needs to recapture that earlier effort to figure.

Fourth-up and back within 10 days, he returns to 1300m at Kochi where his track/distance record reads (3:0-1-1). Last start he was 5th of 5 over 1300m here on FIRM, beaten 3.3L at $6, having previously placed 3rd on SOFT at $31. Drawn wider from barrier 10 now after the rails last time; capable of a competitive showing if he reproduces his earlier placings.
