1400m - 1700m

Comments

Settled rearward and worked home into fourth in a 3yo+ A2 over 1400m at Nagoya last start, beaten five lengths by Bol at generous odds. Two back he was sixth behind Dona Guinea, beaten seven lengths, but he did keep coming when never a winning hope. The drop into A3 and his proven Nagoya 1700m record give him a genuine place profile, even if he has to sharpen late to win.

Comments

Has been well held at his past two, most recently fifth in a 3yo+ A1 over 2000m at Nagoya when beaten over 14 lengths by Mia Stella after failing to quicken. He was also seventh here over 1500m at big odds the run prior. His track-and-trip record with Aoi Kinomae is strong, but the current form line is too plain to push with confidence.

Comments

Held third as favourite in a 3yo+ A4 over 1500m at Nagoya last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Sabu Ryu Shin after being close enough but unable to quicken. That followed a fourth behind Bol when he again failed to finish off. His Nagoya 1700m figures are strong and Seigo Tsukamoto is a positive booking, so he remains a sound place chance rather than a clear win bet.

Comments

Bounced back strongly at Nagoya last start, winning a 3yo+ A5 over 1400m by a length from Stapes Shoma after working into the race smoothly and putting them away comfortably. The run prior at Niigata Dirt was poor, but the return to this circuit produced a sharp turnaround. She has won at this distance and stays with Shinichi Maruyama, making her the horse to beat again.

Finished sixth in a 3yo+ COND over 2000m at Nagoya last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Kitano Fern Hill when unwanted in the market and unable to threaten. He had been seventh in a 3yo+ A4 here before that after settling back. The overall record is respectable, but recent form lacks the finishing strength required for this.

920m - 2000m

Comments

Arrives in winning form after landing a 3yo+ B1 over 1500m at Nagoya by a neck from Oken Boss, picking up sharply to get there late. That backed up a dominant 920m win over Ingenious, so he is clearly thriving this campaign. The rise to 1700m is the main new test, but two wins from two starts at Nagoya and the same record with Takahiro Imai make him a serious winning chance.

Comments

Has offered little in two recent Nagoya runs, finishing second last over 920m behind Jasper Noir after being a long way back, then last in a 3yo+ A2 over 1400m when beaten a long way by Bol. He has placed three times from eleven starts at this track and distance, but the current form slump is a significant hurdle.

Comments

Improved to fourth in a 3yo+ A1 over 1500m at Nagoya last start, beaten just over four lengths by Kawaten Max despite starting at long odds. That was a clear lift on her prior eighth, when she gave away a big start and was never a factor. She carries 53kg and drops in grade, but her modest Nagoya 1700m record keeps the assessment to place claims.

Comments

Closed off from well back when eighth over 920m at Nagoya last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Jasper Noir, and had made ground in similar style when fifth behind Bol two back. Those efforts show he is still trying, while three wins from ten starts at this track and distance are a genuine asset. He remains a knockout chance if he can settle closer or finish harder.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after signing off with consecutive Nagoya wins, the latest in a 3yo+ A7 over 1500m where he beat Seiun Ater by just under a length. He had earlier won over 1400m as a short odds-on favourite, so the form pattern is reliable. Barrier 10 is a small consideration, but his two wins and three places from five starts here make him a strong winning prospect fresh.

Led at Ohi last start but was claimed soon after and dropped out to finish last in a 3yo+ B2 over 1400m, beaten over 14 lengths by Nine Esquire. He had been much better two back when fourth over 1200m, beaten just over two lengths by Apollo Liam. First look at Nagoya and a winless past 12 months leave him with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Returned to better form when second in a 3yo+ A4 at Nagoya last start, beaten three lengths by Keiai Karakia, though she was safely held. The run prior over 2000m was poor, with a big start conceded and an 18-length defeat behind Kitano Fern Hill. Her Nagoya 1700m record is sound and the stable is in form, which keeps her in the placing conversation.
