Races ORM Nagoya - JAP

Back from two months off after two heavy Mdn defeats. The class drop helps, but he has a lot to turn around.

Better fourth over 920m last start and has a recent edge over Eifer Laurel, but the 1500m record keeps him to place claims.

Placed at this track and distance two back and has been respected in betting. Winning edge is still the sticking point.

Fair sixth last start and has placed at this track and distance. More a minor-money hope than a strong winning chance.

Freshened since two heavy steeplechase defeats. Class relief gives some hope, but his overall record keeps him a rough place chance.

Last-start third here was his best recent effort and the rider has placed on him before. A repeat puts him right in the mix.

Lifted to fourth here last start at long odds. The 1500m record is a query, but that latest run makes her a real threat.

Two recent heavy defeats at this track and still unplaced from 11 starts. Hard to build a case despite the class drop.

Freshened after a plain first-up run at Hanshin Dirt. Stable and rider are positives, but the form has to lift sharply.

Back from a three-month break. The Sapporo run was poor, but his Niigata seventh reads well enough to make him a strong chance.

Has placed at this track and distance, but recent defeats by big margins leave her with plenty to find.
