Nagoya Race 1 - Race 1 - 1500
SANONO SE LEVE (11) sets the standard after two seconds from two starts at Nagoya, most recently beaten a neck as odds-on favourite by Nishiki Birkin. She has already placed at this distance and brings the clearest recent form, so she is the runner the others have to lift to beat. CHOCO BROWNIE (12) has plain figures, but the 16th at Niigata in a 3yo Maiden was only just over eight lengths from Suteki Surprise and she returns second-up into a weaker-looking assignment with a leading jockey booked. IRON (6) was better found in an open market here last start and the class drop keeps him in calculations, though he must improve sharply on being beaten over 12 lengths by Sun Road. ORIENTAL GIRL (10) is still winless from seven starts, yet she was near the top of betting at Nagoya last time and has enough placement in this field to be a value threat if she produces more at the end of 1500m.

Finished second last here a fortnight ago, beaten over 17 lengths by Ho O Parsons after settling rearward and being unwanted in the market. The previous Nagoya run was only seventh, beaten over 10 lengths by Kitano Taiki after racing handy but failing to finish off. She is unplaced in all five starts and all three attempts at this track and distance, so the light weight is not enough to bring her right into play.

Was eighth at Nagoya last start, beaten over 18 lengths by Bright Coconut after racing handy and offering little in the straight. His 12th in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt two back was also a long way from A Shin Live Well. Third-up improvement is possible in theory, but four unplaced runs and big recent margins leave him with plenty to prove.

Could only manage ninth at Nagoya last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Sun Road after settling handy and failing to quicken. The Chukyo Dirt 3yo Maiden run prior was no better, finishing 13th at big odds behind Tagano Pudding. She did finish behind Iron here a couple of weeks ago, but in a race with limited depth she still has a minor-money profile if the class drop helps.

Makes her debut without race form to assess, so the market will be important. The stable has had one placing from three debut starters, while the family offers some racing depth through Passport Check and Border Patrol. Soichi Kato is a positive booking at Nagoya, but with no exposed form she is best treated as a place prospect rather than a confident winning play.

Was beaten out of sight at Nagoya four weeks ago when second last behind Seisui Carmen, and there was no clear excuse in the available run comment. That followed a distant last here behind Alula Mefa'A after settling well back and failing to improve. She remains unplaced from four starts, including two at this distance, and needs a dramatic form reversal.

Was near the top of an open market at Nagoya last start but finished seventh, beaten over 12 lengths by Sun Road after giving little late. The run prior in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt was also well held behind Gold Arch. Those figures read poorly, yet the market respect here last time and the class drop keep him a genuine winning chance if he finds more at the end.

Improved to sixth at Nagoya last start but was still beaten over 10 lengths by Ho O Parsons after conceding a big start in the straight. Two back she was eighth here, beaten over 19 lengths by Clean Bouquet after giving ground late. Race fitness and the class drop are positives, but she remains unplaced from five starts and must find a stronger finish.

Worked home only fairly when sixth at Nagoya four weeks ago, beaten seven and a half lengths by Kitano Taiki at long odds. That was still an improvement on the previous ninth behind Wey Yo, where he was beaten a long way after settling rearward. He is unplaced from six starts, so the winning case is thin, but the latest run gives him some place appeal in this grade.

Finished second last here a fortnight ago, beaten a long way by Perfect Snow after having the job ahead and making no ground. The start prior was also poor, last behind Nishiki Birkin despite being near the top of an open market. With only one placing from 16 starts and no placing from five attempts at this track and distance, she needs a notable lift.

Was near the top of betting at Nagoya last start but finished eighth, beaten over 12 lengths by Stradone after settling well back and making no impression. Her prior eighth in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m at Niigata Dirt came at big odds when never in the race. She is unplaced from seven starts, yet market respect last time gives her a place case if she finishes off better.

Went within a neck of breaking through at Nagoya last start, finishing second to Nishiki Birkin after being pipped late as the odds-on favourite. Her debut second here over 920m behind Sumireno Hana also reads well, and she has placed at both track runs and at her only attempt at this distance. Likely to race forward and, third-up, she clearly brings the strongest winning profile.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing 16th in a 3yo Maiden at Niigata, beaten just over eight lengths by Suteki Surprise after settling well back. Her debut at Fukushima was much weaker, finishing second last and beaten over 16 lengths by Dempsey. The form is not attractive on paper, but she is lightly raced, second-up and drops into a race where that Niigata margin gives her a real chance.
