Nagoya Race 7 - Nagoya A

ELAINE ASTI (1) is in a purple patch of form with her third straight win coming last time out over 1400m at this track. Far too good last time and expected to go right on with it. SWITCHBLADE (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless 7 lengths win over 1700m at this track. Takahiro Imai who has three wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. FRESCOBALDI (4) finished 2.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at Kasamatsu two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Can play a big role. OTANI'S SMILE (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 9 lengths away in seventh over 2000m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

On a three run winning streak. Most recently favourite; scored a big 7 len win at this track March 12 over 1400m defeating Heritage Song carrying 55kg at $1.10. Before that favourite; won by 6 len at this track February 10 over 1500m defeating Sept Couleurs carrying 55kg at $1.80. Only has a small field to contend with and looks hard to beat.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 10 at Kasamatsu on March 20 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Gustar with 57kg at $12.30. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track February 27 over 1700m defeating Solar Ray carrying 57kg at $3.70. Few opponents and worth keeping safe.

Racing well recently. At the latest run favourite; won by 7 len at this track March 24 over 1700m defeating Raging Thrust with 57kg at $2.20. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 12 at this track on February 25 over 1700m, 1.0 len behind Up Shogun with 57kg at $6.40. Big chance again.
