Kochi

DEAR THEORY (2) Came in 5th last start here. Has the talent to rebound quickly and has a positive barrier. Jockey Hiroto Yoshihara is in top form for this stable. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. TOP AMERICAN (1) Got the prize when winning by 2 1/2L last run at this track on a heavy track and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Should go well. SHOSAN KIZUNA (5) Disappointing display when 7th last run at the track. Jockey Masayoshi Yamasaki is very comfortable steering. Very competitive this campaign. Serious player. HARUNO SAMSON (6) Below standard effort when 7th last start at the track. Added confidence with Seiya Tatara doing the steering. Respect.
