Races ORM Nagoya - JAP

Finished second last over 920m at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths behind Teruken Ren Touch after settling rearward and never improving into the race. His previous run was no better, when last and beaten a long way after being unwanted in the market. Seven previous tries around 1500m have produced no wins or placings, so he must lift sharply to trouble these.

Was second last behind Ami Nas at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths after fading late, so the latest form is clearly below what is required to win. She was also beaten over 11 lengths behind Win Prime the run prior, although she did finish ahead of Smart Pictus about three weeks ago. With Seigo Tsukamoto going on, she has a minor-place profile if she can hold together late.

Was ninth over 920m at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Teruken Ren Touch after settling back and making no impression late. The start prior was weaker again, when second last and beaten over 19 lengths behind Jacky Barows. He has four unplaced attempts around 1500m, leaving him with a sizeable improvement task.

Brings the best back-class credentials in the race, having won at higher level and already scored at this venue. Recent efforts are plain, including a last behind Motorization when well beaten by 21 lengths, but she carries a light weight and is rated strongly across the last 12 months. In a thin race for current form, her best figures make her a genuine winning threat.

Gets the winning rider back and that is the strongest pointer in a race where few arrive with compelling recent form. Last start she was second last behind Daiyu Resonance, beaten over 17 lengths after having too much to do, and the prior run was also plain behind Win Prime. Even so, she has placed once from ten starts and this setup gives her the right platform to bounce back as the top winning hope.

Resumed with a last placing at this track, beaten a long way behind Battle Selene after weakening through the line. He is second-up now, but the race-day evidence remains thin, with three starts overall for no placings. The earlier Kyoto Dirt Mdn run was also a distant last, so he has to show far more strength late to become a factor.

Had a complete forgive-free failure last start when last behind Grass Feather, beaten over 20 lengths after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The run prior is the important reference, finishing fourth behind Win Prime and beaten just under three lengths at long odds. She has placed once from ten at this track and distance, which keeps her in the minor-money mix.

Was tenth behind Iron at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths after giving away a big start and never entering the contest. His previous sixth behind Kitano Taiki was better, but still saw him beaten seven and a half lengths at big odds. With no placings from seven starts and no return around 1500m, he must find a clear new level.

Finished sixth over 920m at this track last start, beaten seven lengths behind Teruken Ren Touch after being close enough on the turn but failing to finish off. That was at least better than the run prior, when she was beaten out of sight behind Ho O Wise. She has placed twice overall and once at this track and distance, but recent form still leaves her chasing the main hopes.

Was last over 920m at this track last start, beaten over 19 lengths by Teruken Ren Touch after being well back throughout and failing to improve. The start prior was also modest, when second last behind Win Prime and beaten over 14 lengths. She did beat Smart Pictus about three weeks ago, but her unplaced overall record makes the place line the ceiling.

Returns third-up after a heavy defeat at this track, finishing last behind Bright Coconut and beaten out of sight after never getting into the race. The prior Niigata Mdn run over 2000m was also well held at big odds, beaten over 12 lengths by Zihuatanejo. The third-up tag helps, but she remains unplaced from four starts and must improve sharply.

Was ninth behind Iron at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths at big odds after having too much ground to make up. Two back she was second last behind Perfect Snow and well beaten, so the recent margins are not flattering. She did beat Ige Maja a couple of weeks ago and remains race fit, which is enough to keep her among the stronger chances in this field.
