Nagoya Race 6

1500

Prize Money: $15,989

NEW HARPY (3) sets the standard on exposed reliability, having won at Mombetsu over 1200m after heavy market support and having missed by only a nose the start prior. The 1500m is the obvious question, but his record of one win and four placings from five starts gives him the cleanest profile. VIOLA RIKU (2) is the main Nagoya reference after being pipped late over this trip as favourite, although she must confirm that improvement after a heavy defeat two back. BANSHEE HARPY (4) has the winning form to challenge, beating Ric Bella at Mombetsu, with the jump from 1000m to 1500m the key test. K'S VELOCITY (6) appeals more as a place threat after fair late work behind Blue On Pink, while ARBEIT BOSHU (5) has to build on a third here.

Comments

Has been fifth at both recent Nagoya runs, latest beaten just under four lengths by Blue On Pink after having runners ahead on straightening and producing only a moderate final effort. The run prior was weaker, beaten eight and a half lengths behind Neo Zeus when she did not finish it off. A class drop helps, but an 0-from-4 track-and-distance record leaves her with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Raised her level at Nagoya last start, finishing second to Mozu Lady Luck over 1500m, beaten half a length after being pipped late as the well-supported favourite. That was a clear response to a seventh behind Megrez, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. She has placed two times from four starts, both with Seigo Tsukamoto aboard, so a repeat of the latest run puts her in the minor-money mix.

Comments

Broke through at Mombetsu last start over 1200m, beating Nine First by a length and a half after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. That backed up a nose second to Blond Knight, so his one win and four placings from five starts read well for this. From barrier 3 he has the early speed to take a handy role, with the rise to 1500m the main test of his winning case.

Comments

Turned a patchy campaign around at Mombetsu, beating Ric Bella by a length over 1000m after tracking the speed, moving into it before the turn and finishing off strongly. That was a sharp contrast to her previous tenth behind Malatang, where she conceded a huge start and was beaten over 20 lengths at big odds. She gets in at 53kg, but the step to 1500m is the hurdle she must clear to win again.

Improved into third at Nagoya last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Mozu Lady Luck after having plenty to do and closing into the money. That was far better than her seventh here behind Angel Ring, beaten over 19 lengths after tracking the speed and failing to quicken. Placed twice from four Nagoya starts, but she still needs a stronger finishing result to trouble the main chances.

Worked home fairly from a long way back when sixth to Blue On Pink at Nagoya last start, beaten just under five lengths at big odds. His previous fifth behind Megrez was a plain effort, beaten over 10 lengths after only working home evenly. Junki Mochizuki has placed on him before and rates strongly at this track, but the recent pattern says he is more a place hope than a winning anchor.

Comments

Recent form leaves her with work to do, with a tenth to Blue On Pink at Nagoya last start when beaten over 15 lengths after fading late. The start prior was no better, sixth behind Megrez and beaten over 14 lengths after giving away a big start. A class drop is some assistance, but her unplaced record from three attempts at this track and distance is a serious obstacle.

Comments

Has been well held in both starts, most recently finishing last in a 2yo Maiden at Chukyo behind Cool Taro after settling miles back and failing to improve. His debut at Niigata in a 2yo NEWCOMER was also plain, second last to Isukumeru and beaten over 15 lengths at long odds. Third-up fitness is the small positive, but he needs to show a much sharper response.
