Nagoya Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500

WIN VERTEX (11) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. INNOCENCE (6) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when 12th over 1700m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DESTINY HOPE (9) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw and led into the straight but emptied and weakened out if it to finish tenth over 1500m at this track. A bold showing expected again. AKIYOSHI POWER (3) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 11 at this track on May 20 over 1500m, 6 len behind Star Wood Tail with 55kg at $21.90. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on May 6 over 1500m, 1.0 len behind Positivity with 55kg at $10. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.

Most recently 5th of 11 at this track on May 20 over 1500m, 5 len behind Silk Needle with 57kg at $29.30. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on May 6 over 1500m, 1.3 len behind Positivity with 57kg at $36.10. Has speed but unlikely to be there at the finish.

Form hard to fault. Most recently rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 9 at this track on May 21 over 1500m, nose behind Mattina with 53kg at $6.70. Before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 11 at this track on May 6 over 1500m, 5.5 len behind Seiun Ater carrying 55kg at $15.30. Near miss last start. Right in the mix.
