Races ORM Nagoya - JAP

Put his hand up with a much better fourth in a COND at this track, beaten a length and a half by Kleiner Riese after leading and working home evenly at long odds. That came after a distant last behind Piko Reve, so the rebound was significant. He has already won at this venue and, while the 1500m record is the query, the class drop, fourth-up fitness and latest rating give him the strongest winning case.

Has not found a placing in six starts and arrives off an eighth in COND company at this track, beaten over 16 lengths by Tamamo Parfum with no clear excuse supplied. The previous Chukyo Mdn run was also plain, ninth to Lloyd Webber at long odds over 2200m. The class drop offers some help, but she is relying on sharp improvement for an each-way result.

Gets a more suitable C3 assignment after finishing seventh in a COND at this track, beaten just under ten lengths by Bright Coconut when he failed to quicken. His Niigata Dirt Mdn run prior was weaker again, so the recent form is not clean, and he did finish behind Scioltamente in that latest clash. Even so, third-up fitness, class relief and recent ratings keep him high among the winning chances.

Comes through the Bright Coconut race with the right comparison, having finished sixth at this track and ahead of Meisho Solar despite being unable to finish off from a handy spot. That was a better pointer than her Chukyo Dirt Mdn run, where she was never in the picture and beaten over 16 lengths. Fourth-up in a C3, she has the fitness and class-drop profile to press hard for the win.

Disappointed badly when tenth at this track last start, beaten a long way by Tamamo Parfum after being near the top of betting. The Niigata Mdn run before that was also well held, tracking the speed before failing to quicken and finishing second last. Race fitness and a class drop are positives, but she has to produce a very different finish to trouble these.

Beaten as favourite when resuming at this track, finishing ninth in a COND and over 13 lengths from Battle Selene after coming under pressure late. The Kokura Dirt Mdn run two back was also well beaten, so the 1500m record of three unplaced tries remains a genuine query. Second-up improvement can put her into the minor-money mix, but she is no good thing.

Recent form remains hard to endorse after a ninth in C9 grade at this track, beaten over 15 lengths by Meisho Yorikiri at big odds after settling back and making no impression. He was also safely held in C1 company two back and has gone unplaced in all 24 starts over the past 12 months. Past track-and-trip wins are noted, but current figures leave him with plenty to find.

Was again well held when seventh behind Tamamo Parfum at this track, beaten over 16 lengths in COND grade after being at generous odds. The Sapporo Mdn effort prior was also plain, with a big start conceded and no real impact. The class drop, third-up fitness, strong local stable and leading jockey booking give her some place appeal, though the winning case stays modest.

Was never competitive when seventh at this track last start, beaten out of sight by Ho O Wise despite sticking on late once the race was gone. Her Kokura Mdn run prior was also poor, finishing 12th at big odds after conceding a huge start. Third-up fitness and a class drop give her the chance to improve, but the current form line is well short.

Made some improvement when sixth behind Tamamo Parfum at this track, beaten over 13 lengths in COND grade after being unwanted in the market. The prior Chukyo Dirt Mdn run was well held over 1200m, so she is still building a convincing profile. Even so, the class drop, fourth-up fitness and Seigo Tsukamoto booking give her a genuine chance to land in the placings.

Has struggled badly at both runs this campaign, finishing ninth at this track last start and beaten over 19 lengths by Tamamo Parfum at big odds. The Sapporo Dirt Mdn run prior was even more decisive, last and beaten out of sight after giving away a big start. Weight relief and the class drop are positives, but the form still asks for a major turnaround.
