Nagoya Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500
EIGER (8) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1700m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Expected to cross from wide out. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CAL BAY CRUISE (1) was in the firing line on the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1500m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. MICHA (3) turned things around last start and got the job done by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 1500m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. DRAGOSTE (4) improved last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1700m at this track. No surprise to see her in contention.
