Nagoya Race 9

1700

Prize Money: $12,131

OKIHARU (3) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1700m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. That followed a win here at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason why he cannot make amends. A SHIN MERIDA (1) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 2.5 lengths back in second over 1500m at this circuit. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. OTANI'S SMILE (5) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1500m at this course after being in the firing line on the turn. Top-three aspirations. ESTRELLITA (8) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at this venue over 1500m. Should be competitive in this suitable race.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start 5th of 12 at this track on July 21 over 1700m, 3.5 len behind Amiens carrying 57kg at $3.90. The run before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at this track June 26 over 1500m defeating Gagne carrying 57kg at $6.20. Best form should see him measure right up.

Comments

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently eased back early on 7th of 11 at this track on July 8 over 1700m, 7 len behind Rampage City carrying 55kg at $5.90. The start before that won by a nose at this track June 17 over 1700m defeating Kannon Solare with 55kg at $29. Easily accounted for last time out but this suits.
