Kochi

KONIG BLUT (5) Fought on well to win a tight contest last start here. Shinji Hatanaka has multiple wins aboard. Displays good closing speed. Running with confidence this preparation. Can win this. COPANO JAMES (10) Did well when 3rd last time at this venue. Jockey Shougetsu Kondou and trainer Mamoru Tanaka have a high strike rate together. Will be hitting the line strongly. Underrated. AVERY (7) Ran 4th last run around here. Giving another go here. Expected to be flashing home. Jockey Shuuji Akaoka is a plus. Respect. CUENCA (1) Ran 5th last start here but has minimal work to do from the draw. Knockout chance in this.
