Kochi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1600
SANONO AMERICAN (7) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start third over 1400m at this track. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. NEUJAHR (6) finished back in sixth over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. MORNING HAZE (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start failed to finish over 1400m at this track. Likely improver worth including. HIERBA BUENA (4) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Can feature in the finish.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 10 at this track on May 16 over 1300m, 12 len behind Big Show Time carrying 57kg at $6.20. Second run from a spell raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at this track on May 30 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Palace Partner carrying 57kg at $21. Chances enhanced by drawing a nice marble.

The start before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 4th of 11 at this track on May 16 over 1300m, 8 len behind Diamond Fuji with 56kg at $17.20.
