Kochi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1300
BRATTY KID (2) Nice run when 2nd last run at the track and suited at this distance in the past. Seiya Tatara is a key booking and has a good draw. Has the ability to figure. BONJOUR ZEN (6) In the money when 3rd last start at this venue and hard to fault at this trip. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Must respect. TOP AMERICAN (3) Scored a victory by 3/4L last start at this track. Good to see Taichi Nagamori is jumping on. Worth a ticket. MEISHO KAZUSA (10) Competitive effort when 2nd last time at this venue on a heavy track. Among better hopes.

Was second last at this track over 1600m on good ground last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Mozu Rickey after settling rearward and making no impression. His previous fifth in B4 company was more competitive, but he was still at long odds and beaten just under five lengths. Proven at this track and trip, yet current form says he has plenty to turn around.

Has returned in excellent order, winning first-up in C1 grade at this track before a brave second last start, beaten a length and a half by Copano Hampton. He beat that same horse two back and also has the measure of Meisho Kazusa from their recent clash. With two wins and two placings from four at this track and distance, plus a strong record for Seiya Tatara, he sets the standard.

Drove hard late to win a C1 at this track last start, beating Meisho Kazusa by just under a length in a race where he was near the top of an open market. That was a clear rebound from a nine-length sixth behind Mozu Rickey two back. Four wins and five placings from 13 at this venue, along with a good record for Taichi Nagamori, give him a strong platform again.

Returns from a five-week let-up after producing a big late finish to win a C1 at this track, scoring by a length from Noble Run. The concern is that it followed a well-held eighth over 1600m when he dropped out of the race at long odds. He has yet to place in three starts at this track and distance, so a repeat of the latest surge is required to threaten the main hopes.

Returns from a three-month break after ending his last campaign with two plain last placings at this track, both when unwanted in the market. He was well beaten behind Stella Matutina last time and had earlier finished more than 16 lengths from Fuyusobi. His long-term 1300m record gives some background, but recent race form is hard to support.

Placed first-up in C1 grade at this track, finishing third behind Top American and Meisho Kazusa after being run down late. He was well found in betting and should take fitness from that second-up, while his broader profile is strong: nine wins from 23 overall and six wins from nine at this track and distance. The latest result leaves a margin to bridge, but he is a genuine place hope.

Has been safely held at his past two starts, finishing seventh each time at this track and beaten over 11 lengths last start by Mozu Rickey. The start prior in B4 grade was no stronger, where he found little after being within striking range. Weight relief and a return to a proven 1300m scenario help, but recent form leaves him with a sizeable task.

Was never in the picture when sixth at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Mozu Rickey after giving away a big start. His previous sixth in B4 company was better without ever looking a winning hope. He has placed four times from 13 attempts at this track and distance, but the lack of recent winning edge is a clear concern.

Worked home fairly when fourth in C1 company at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths by Top American after starting big odds. That was better than her ninth behind Mozu Rickey two back, where she could not make headway. Three wins and seven placings from 23 starts in the past 12 months give her each-way substance, though winning still looks harder.

Was sent out favourite and fought hard when second to Top American in C1 grade at this track, beaten just under a length after travelling close to the speed. He had been beaten just over six lengths by Bratty Kid the run prior, so there is a recent score to settle. Third-up now, with three wins from nine at this venue, he has the right profile to be a major player.

Finished last at this track over 1600m last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Mozu Rickey after settling rearward and making no impression. The run prior in B4 company was no better, finishing last again and beaten over 17 lengths. He has won four times around 1300m, but current form is well below what is required here.
