Nagoya Race 2 - Race 2 - 1500
AMETHYST BRILLER (11) is the horse to beat despite a plain recent form card, with the class drop and light 52kg giving her the clearest reset after being well held over 2200m at Chukyo. ARDAH (2) was beaten out of sight first-up at Chukyo Dirt, but his earlier Hanshin run was less severe and he should strip fitter second-up while coming back to 1500m. IBERIS AMARA (7) brings the tidiest latest margin of the main hopes, beaten four lengths at Niigata, and that looks competitive in a race short on convincing recent form. ECORO ZELDA (10) is more a place-to-win type: her Sapporo run two back was sounder than the latest, but she still has to convert that into a sharper finish.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing last of 14 at Sapporo, where she settled rearward, weakened further and was never competitive and was beaten out of sight behind Pekarina. Her Hakodate run prior was also plain, beaten seven and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. The class drop and 53kg help, but she needs a major form reversal.

Back after five weeks following a 12th at Chukyo Dirt, where he was never competitive and was beaten out of sight behind Meisho Nanashiro. His Hanshin run two back was better, beaten six lengths by Orion Blade over 2000m, and he was not as completely dismissed then. The class drop is the key positive, but coming back to 1500m leaves a query he must answer.

Back after two months since a 13th at Chukyo Dirt, where he gave away a big start and was never in the race, finishing well beaten by 22 lengths behind A Shin Live Well. Two back he was sixth at Hanshin Dirt but still beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. He has race fitness and class relief, yet his rearward pattern leaves him needing a much stronger finish to land a placing.

Returns from a lengthy four-month break after one race start, a tenth at Hanshin Dirt when big odds and well beaten by 21 lengths behind Aqua Eye. She conceded a huge start there and never became involved, so the race form is thin and plain. The lighter 53kg and class drop are positives on paper, but she has to show far more under race pressure.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after finishing eighth at Kyoto Dirt, beaten over 13 lengths behind Savoire Faire at long odds. The run prior at Chukyo was weaker again, finishing second last and well held behind Graines De Joie. He comes to this stable setup with a leading local jockey and trainer in the mix, but exposed form says improvement is essential.

Returns from a one-month freshening third-up after a 12th at Chukyo Dirt, beaten over 13 lengths behind Sesshu when unwanted in the market. His previous run was seventh behind Peptide Leon but still beaten over 14 lengths, so there is no recent finishing punch to lean on. Class relief and added fitness help, but the distance query keeps him in the minor-money bracket.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a ninth at Niigata over 2000m, beaten four lengths by Peaceful Mind at long odds. That was clearly stronger than his Tokyo run prior, where he was 11th and beaten just over eight lengths after being unable to raise a challenge. The class drop gives him a genuine winning platform, though the shorter 1500m must suit.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing 13th at Chukyo Dirt, well beaten by 22 lengths behind Akino Beauty when unwanted in the market. Her Niigata Dirt run prior was also safely held, beaten over 17 lengths after conceding a big start. The class drop is there, but she has been out of contention too early in recent runs to recommend strongly.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing a distant last at Niigata Dirt, beaten by Adelphi after giving away a big start and never entering the contest. Two back he was seventh at the same venue but still beaten over 11 lengths, despite travelling as though he might do better. Race fitness is a small plus, but the recent evidence leaves him with plenty to find.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing last at Sapporo Dirt in a 3yo+ ALLOW, beaten over 13 lengths behind Star Of London. Her previous Sapporo run was more competitive, leading over 2600m before finishing tenth, beaten just over five lengths by Don'T Testa Master. Fourth-up and back in grade, she profiles as a genuine place hope if the shorter trip suits.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing second last at Chukyo over 2200m, beaten over 18 lengths behind My Complete when unwanted in the market. Her run prior was better, eighth over 2000m and beaten just over six lengths by Prez Bhean despite offering little after getting the right run. The sharp class drop and 52kg give her the best setup in a thin race.

Back after five weeks following a seventh at Funabashi, beaten over 13 lengths by Danon Mustang at long odds. His Hakodate run prior was 11th, beaten six and a half lengths by Mild Melody after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. Third-up fitness and a leading Nagoya rider are positives, but he is still chasing a much stronger finish.
