Nagoya Race 3 - Race 3 - 1500
AOZORA LUNCH (9) is the clear starting point in a thin 3yo COND contest, not because the recent finishing positions leap off the page, but because her two Niigata runs have been the most competitive of the main hopes, with margins around six lengths in 3yo Maiden company. The concern is that she was unwanted in the market and did not make headway, but the class drop and race fitness give her the strongest overall profile. ACT SURGE (1) resumes after eight months and has to leave a debut flop over 2200m well behind, yet the lighter weight and sharp class relief make him a legitimate improver. NEO AMBO (3) has also been safely held this prep, though third-up fitness and a softer assignment keep him in the winning mix if he finds more at 1500m. ECORRO GARUDA (12) is more a danger than a top pick, with the rise in trip a query after an 11th over 1200m, but this field gives him some place-to-win scope.

Returns from an eight-month break after a debut run at Nakayama where he finished last in a 3yo Maiden over 2200m, beaten out of sight by Edel Seele after conceding a big start. That form plainly has to be improved upon, but he drops in class, comes back to 55kg and has only had one raceday look. The 1500m is a different test, yet this looks a far more suitable race to show whether there is improvement there.

Resumes off a two-month freshening after two heavy defeats at 1200m, most recently finishing 14th at Chukyo Dirt when well held by Gold Arch at long odds. Her debut at Kokura was no stronger, finishing last and beaten over 14 lengths after giving away a big start. Third-up fitness and a class drop are positives in theory, but the rise to 1500m asks for a marked lift.

Back after a one-month freshening and gets another chance despite being second last at Niigata, beaten eight and a half lengths by Suteki Surprise after giving away too much start. He was also safely held at Fukushima two back when tenth behind Gold Parade, but that run at least showed he could settle closer. Third-up and down in class, he has enough setup to be a winning player if the 1500m does not expose him.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a weak Niigata effort over 2200m, finishing second last and well beaten by Yamame Hope after settling rearward. He had also been second last a week earlier behind Cecile Brunner, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. The class drop and extra fitness help, but he remains winless from six and looks more a place hope than a horse to trust for the top spot.

Back after five weeks following a second-last finish at Niigata over 1800m, where she tracked the speed but did not quicken and was beaten over 13 lengths by Fuji Sun. Her Tokyo debut was similar in result, settling back and making no impression when beaten over 11 lengths. She was behind Aozora Lunch at Niigata, and while the class drop is useful, she needs to find a sharper finish.

Resumes after a one-month freshening following a Chukyo Dirt run where she finished second last over 1800m, beaten a long way by Akino Beauty at long odds. The start prior at Sapporo was also plain, finishing tenth and beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward. Third-up and back in class are positives, but she has yet to place in three starts and the 1500m remains a question.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing 11th at Sapporo, beaten over 13 lengths by Air Vibes when she gave away too much start and never threatened. Her previous run at Tokyo was last in a 2yo Maiden, beaten over 16 lengths at big odds. A leading jockey and stable change are noted, but the exposed race form leaves her needing a clear step forward.

Has struggled to get into his races this campaign, finishing 13th at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m last start when beaten just over nine lengths by Logi The Board and unwanted in the market. The prior Fukushima Dirt effort was similar, beaten seven and a half lengths by Mirabillion after again making no headway. Weight relief and a class drop help, but the rise to 1500m is another task.

Back after five weeks and brings the best recent profile in the race, despite finishing 11th at Niigata over 1800m when beaten six lengths by Fuji Sun. She had been 12th there the start prior, beaten just over six lengths by Scene Des Lauves, so the form is not winning form but is stronger than many here. Fourth-up, race fit and dropping in class, she deserves top billing if she can convert the setup.

Was beaten out of sight at Sapporo Dirt over 1700m four weeks ago, finishing last behind Meisho Sendo after giving away a big start. His previous Tokyo Dirt run was also poor, second last and beaten over 19 lengths by Legende after weakening from the back. The class drop is the only real positive, and he needs to show far more competitive intent.

Resumes from a two-month freshening after finishing ninth at Chukyo over 2200m, beaten just under nine lengths by Lloyd Webber after settling rearward. She was eighth over 2000m the run before, beaten just over seven lengths by Cefalu after offering little. The lighter 52kg and class drop are genuine aids, but coming back to 1500m means she needs to sharpen noticeably.

Back after five weeks since an 11th at Chukyo over 1200m, beaten just over seven lengths by Chuwa Melody at long odds after making no headway. His Kasamatsu run prior was much weaker, well beaten by 24 lengths after travelling prominently. Third-up fitness and a class drop keep him in the mix for minor money, though the step to 1500m is a genuine query.
