Nagoya Race 1 - Race 1 - 1500
REINA DEL AIRE (3) is the top selection despite a plain latest result, with the class drop from Sapporo 3yo Maiden company the key to her case. She was beaten over 10 lengths by Air Vibes last time, but her previous fourth to Freccia Azzurra, beaten two and a half lengths at long odds, reads well enough for this grade if she can reproduce it. KEY BEAT (4) brings the most direct recent Nagoya form, having run second to Viale by a length and a half when near the top of betting, and that bounce from a heavy defeat at Chukyo makes him a major player. NANYO LOYAL (2) was a better fourth behind Lilii Borea at Nagoya after being unwanted in the market, though the winless record remains the knock. COSMO AMADEUS (1) disappointed as favourite last week, yet his narrow second to Copano Carter and three placings from four attempts at the track and distance keep him in the mix for the minor end.

Beaten favourite at Nagoya last start when sixth behind Lilii Borea, settling rearward and finishing just under five lengths away without a clear excuse. His previous second to Copano Carter, beaten a neck, is the run that keeps him in calculations, and he has placed three times from four starts at this track and distance. The win still proves elusive, but he profiles as a genuine place chance if he rebounds.

Improved at Nagoya last start when fourth to Lilii Borea, beaten three and a half lengths after going around among the outsiders. That was a better return than his sixth to Win Madeira, where he was unwanted in the market and did not finish it off. The 13-start maiden record is a genuine concern, but recent form rates well enough in this field to give him a solid winning chance.

Returns after five weeks off following an eighth in a Sapporo 3yo Maiden, where she settled just off the lead and was beaten over 10 lengths by Air Vibes. The stronger pointer is her previous fourth to Freccia Azzurra, beaten two and a half lengths at long odds in the same grade. She is still a maiden after six starts, but the class drop gives her a clear chance to show sharper form here.

Stepped up sharply at Nagoya last start when second to Viale, beaten a length and a half after settling prominently and holding his ground as one of the better-backed runners. The run prior at Chukyo over 2000m was plain, finishing ninth in a 3yo Maiden at big odds, so the return to this level has suited. Still winless from ten, but that latest effort sets a competitive standard.

Finished fifth at Nagoya last start but was beaten a long way by Noble Queendom after having many lengths to make up and never looking likely. His previous second-last to Win Madeira was also plain, beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds. Weight relief and a class drop help the setup, but the recent margins leave him with a substantial improvement task.

Returns after five weeks off following a heavy Niigata Dirt defeat, finishing 12th in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m and beaten over 17 lengths by Martingale at big odds. He was also well held at Chukyo Dirt the run prior, tenth and beaten over 16 lengths. Third-up status and the class drop are positives in theory, but his exposed form says he must lift dramatically.

Settled rearward and finished fourth at Nagoya last start, but the margin was a long way behind Noble Queendom and she was among the outsiders. Two back she was eighth to Win Madeira, beaten seven lengths at long odds, and she has now gone unplaced in all 20 starts overall. With no return from twelve runs at this track and distance, others make stronger appeal.

Dropped out badly at Nagoya last start, finishing a distant last behind Noble Queendom after coming under pressure late and starting at long odds. Her previous win here is the important counterpoint, beating Cheerful Door by just under a length as a well-supported favourite. With a track-and-trip win and Seiji Kato back aboard, she can be included for place purposes if she regains that form.

Has been safely held in two Sonoda 3yo+ C2 runs, most recently seventh to Namura Otto and beaten over 12 lengths after settling just off the lead. The run prior was no better, finishing last over 1700m behind San Miguel after appearing ready to take closer order before offering little. A leading track jockey is a plus, but the recent form leaves plenty to repair.

Returns after one month off a dominant Nagoya win, leading and kicking strongly to beat Sanono Se Leve by four lengths over 920m as an outside chance in the betting. That was a sharp reversal from a distant last in 3yo+ COND company the run prior, where she faded badly. The rise to 1500m is the clear query, but last start gives her legitimate place credentials.
