Races ORM Nagoya - JAP

Returned to 3yo+ C1 grade last start and finished fifth at this track, beaten nine lengths by Seisui Million after travelling in touch without threatening. The run prior is stronger evidence, winning a 3yo+ C7 at this venue by two and a half lengths from Reve Espoir. She is proven around 1500m and the winning rider is back, so a place response is realistic despite that last-start gap.

Has finished eighth at both recent runs in 3yo+ C1 company, most recently beaten eight and a half lengths at this track after having the drop on the leaders but failing to finish off. She had also been well held behind Sodachizakari the run prior. The class drop gives her some relief, though her 1500m record is all placings and she profiles more as a minor-money hope than a win threat.

Went within half a length of winning a 3yo+ C3 at this track last start, pipped late by Nike Iris after sitting near the top of betting. That followed another second here in 3yo+ C5, when she worked home into the frame behind Sammaru Reve. With one win and two placings from four starts at this track and distance, plus a solid record with Akio Ozaki, she brings the most reliable winning case.

Was beaten over 11 lengths in 3yo+ C1 company last start after travelling close enough to strike but finding little. Her fourth two back behind Meisho Ohako was better, beaten just over four lengths on a fast surface, yet that still left her short of winning form. She has placed at this track and distance without winning, and a sharper finish is required to trouble the better chances.

Produced a fair fourth in 3yo+ C1 over 920m at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths after being ready to challenge on the turn. That followed a dominant four-length win here when she led and cleared out from Kuromehyo. The return to 1500m is the question, with five placings but no wins around the trip, yet her recent peak gives her a strong platform to fight this out.

Recent form has dropped away, with a tenth behind Bellagio Channel over 1700m at this track after tracking the speed and failing to quicken. He was also beaten over 11 lengths at 920m the run before, sent out at long odds and unable to make ground. The return to a track-and-distance where he has won is a small positive, but he must show far more spark.

Was unwanted in the market and finished ninth in 3yo+ C1 over 1700m last start, beaten nine lengths by Bellagio Channel despite not completely folding. His previous run was a three-length win in 3yo+ C6, beating Rei Natia at this venue, so he can produce on his day. Even so, the sharp rise from that win to his latest effort leaves him with plenty to find.

Finished tenth in 3yo+ C1 at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Seisui Million after coming under pressure late, so that performance cannot be dressed up. The case rests more on her previous third in 3yo+ COND company, where she led and was run down late, beaten a length and a half. If she returns to that sharper effort, she can work into the placings.

Was last in 3yo+ C1 at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting involved. She had been sixth in 3yo+ C3 the run prior, beaten just over five lengths, but was only fair late there as well. The maiden record remains a clear concern, and even with some placing history she has to lift sharply.

Has put together consecutive fourths at this track, most recently in 3yo+ C1 when beaten seven and a half lengths by Seisui Million after travelling in touch and working home only fairly. She was also fourth in 3yo+ C4 behind Kafuji Java two back. The margins are not ideal, but she has beaten several of these recently and her track-and-distance record keeps her firmly in the mix.

Finished sixth in 3yo+ C1 last start, beaten over 11 lengths after failing to quicken, and that followed a second-last behind Kafuji Java when unwanted in the market. Those runs are plain, but she gets weight relief and has two wins from ten starts at this track and distance, with Aoi Kinomae also a proven partner. That gives her an outside place path rather than a strong winning case.

Was second last in 3yo+ C1 at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after being in touch early and offering little from soon after. His previous second-last behind Swing Boy was no better, beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds. He has a sound overall record and past wins with Gaku Banno, but his current form leaves him hard to make a case for.
