Kochi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

TOP AMERICAN (1) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish fifth over the same trip at this track after he had settled well back. This is a nice drop in grade so he will be hard to beat. DAISHINGEKI (8) did her best work late to finish third at big odds at her latest appearance at this track over 1400m. Good signs last time and is worth including. ECHT STAHL (6) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish 11th over 1300m at this track in a disappointing performance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. T O RENOIR (3) finished fifth, beaten 6 lengths, last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Among the better chances.
