Kochi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1600
LORD IN FIGHT (3) returns from a nine months break after scoring three wins on end, the latest over 1400m win at this track. Impossible to knock the form and will go well again. GOODWOOD GUY (1) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fourth, beaten 31 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. WIN XANADU (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 30 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Minoru Miyagawa gets the best out of this eight-year-old entire. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. NEO BRAVE (8) fought on for third last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th in a small field at this track on June 7 over 1400m, 31 len behind Misuzu Grand O carrying 57kg at $2.30. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on May 10 over 1400m, head behind Misuzu Grand O carrying 58kg at $13.20. Expected to finish much closer.
