Kochi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1600
SASAYAKI (7) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from five runs. Leading player again. MISCELA DORATA (10) showed good pace and went on to score by 3 lengths when resuming last time out over 1300m at this track. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. CASTLE TOP (9) got home by 2 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Sure to be competitive. HIGHEST POINT (5) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1300m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Should give backers a sight.

At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at this track on May 10 over 1300m, 0.8 len behind Win Xanadu carrying 57kg at $14. The race before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 11 at this track on April 26 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Danon Dancer with 57kg at $31.80. Tempted to look elsewhere on recent form.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track April 26 over 1600m defeating Mozu Mazoku carrying 54kg at $7.50. The run before that won by 3 len at this track March 4 over 1400m defeating Commodores with 56kg at $2.40. Nice draw and worth thought.
