Kochi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1300
LOWEN HEARTS (7) rates on top after a 4L win over 1300m last start at Kochi, backing up a forgive run on heavy and boasting a perfect record here at the trip this prep. FLOWER HOPE S (6) is the main danger with two runner-up efforts at 1300m, including a 1.5L second on good ground, and maps to hold form. REWARD LAUREN (3) appeals for minor money with consistent placings at track and trip, having finished 2nd then 3rd in two of its last three here. THREE SCARLET (4) comes into calculations off a clear 3L win at 1300m on heavy, though must reproduce that spike; slight lean to LOWEN HEARTS (7).

Placed in 3 of last 5 and has filled a minor spot in 3 of 5 at this track and trip. Latest run was 3rd of 6 over 1300m here on 18 Oct, beaten 2.25L at $41.00, after a 3rd of 10 over the same course and distance on 4 Oct in HEAVY, beaten 4.5L at $21.00. Draws the inside after barrier 5 last time, which could help him hold a spot. Profiles as a consistent place chance at this setup.

Runner-up over this track and trip on 20 Sep at $6.50, beaten 4L in 1:28.10, which reads well for this set-up. Failed to fire next time on heavy here over 1300m when 9th of 10, beaten 9.6L at $51.00, so a return to more suitable conditions would help. Draws on the smaller field side and keeps Masashi Ueda. Kabachitare has shown enough at this course and distance to be given consideration.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and holds a solid 1300m profile at Kochi (5:0-2-1). Latest run was 3rd of 6 here over 1300m on 17 Oct, beaten 3.5L at $13.00 after a narrow 2nd of 5 over this trip on 22 Sep at $8.50. Sticks to her proven trip and track with Takuya Okamura aboard.

Back to the same 1300m at Kochi after a sharp rebound last start, winning by 3L on heavy at $12.00 with a much quicker time than her prior run. The barrier improves from 8 to 4, which is a plus after drawing wide previously. That 4 Oct win marked clear progress from the 20 Sep effort when 7th of 8, beaten 12.01L on good. Three Scarlet brings winning form and a kinder draw into this small field.
