Nagoya Race 4 - Race 4 - 920
ONDINE (10) gets top billing in a race where the main hopes all have some qualification. She was beaten over 10 lengths as a well-supported favourite at Nagoya last start, so the market trust was not repaid, but her debut third showed enough and she is third-up with the class drop in her favour. NATIVE DANCE (1) has the steadier recent profile, with consecutive fourths and market respect both times; the latest margin behind Flattern was plain, though he did beat ONDINE in that meeting. PHILIA ASTI (9) brings the cleanest single piece of fresh form, placing on debut behind Solaine after travelling well and working home evenly, and natural improvement keeps her right in the contest. BE GIFTED (5) was costly as a very short odds-on favourite on debut, but she did keep battling after sitting behind the leaders and can improve enough to be in the minor-money picture.

Returns from a four-week freshening after finishing fourth at Nagoya, beaten ten lengths by Flattern, but he did pick up nicely from well back and again had market respect. His previous fourth on a fast track, beaten just over three lengths by Gold Touch, reads better. Still a maiden after three runs, yet he beat Ondine recently and this is the right sort of race for him to prove strongest late.

Has been safely held all campaign, finishing second last at Nagoya last start when beaten over 13 lengths after settling well back and weakening further. She was also seventh behind Flattern two back, beaten over 14 lengths at long odds. The class drop is some help, but with no placing from seven starts she needs a sharp turnaround.

Finished sixth at Nagoya last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Cavort, after settling just off the lead and giving little in the run home. The start prior was also plain when eighth behind Flattern, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. He is still learning, but the recent form says he has plenty to find.

Second-up after a debut sixth at Nagoya where she was beaten over 14 lengths by Solaine and never looked likely from well back. She started big odds there and also finished behind Philia Asti, so the evidence is limited rather than compelling. Improvement is possible at start two, but she looks more a minor-money hope than a winning play.

Was expected to do much more on debut as a dominant odds-on favourite, finishing fifth at Nagoya and beaten seven and a half lengths by Solaine. She sat behind the leaders, had work to do and battled on rather than folded, so there is scope to improve with race experience. The market miss is the concern, but she still has a workable place profile.

Made her debut at Nagoya with a fourth behind Solaine, beaten seven and a half lengths after settling back and still being well off them around the turn. She was sent out at big odds, so the run had some merit relative to market expectation. With only one start to assess, she profiles as a developing place chance rather than a proven winning threat.

Returns from a three-month break after two heavy defeats at Nagoya, the latest a distant last behind Ailes Express when he was at long odds and failed to improve from well back. His debut was no better, finishing last and beaten a long way by Summer Cocktail. The class drop offers context, but he needs a complete form reversal.

Finished seventh at Nagoya last start, beaten over 10 lengths by Cavort, and again did little late after holding a position to the turn. Two back he was second last behind Flattern, beaten over 16 lengths at big odds. Five starts without a placing and a poor track-and-distance record leave him with a sizeable task.

Placed on debut at Nagoya, finishing third behind Solaine and beaten four and a half lengths after travelling well to the turn and working home evenly. She was only an outside chance in the market, so the effort carried merit. With a leading jockey and strong track stable involved, she has clear upside and looks a genuine winning chance if she improves again.

Kept fresh for four weeks after finishing fifth at Nagoya as a well-supported favourite, beaten over 10 lengths by Flattern after settling handy and looking ready to pounce. Her debut third behind Gold Feather was also by a big margin but showed she can place at this track and trip. Third-up and back in suitable company, she can rebound if that latest run has not left a mark.

Showed early involvement at Nagoya last start but was gone soon after the turn and finished fifth, beaten nine lengths by Cavort while unwanted in the market. She had been ninth behind Flattern two back, beaten over 16 lengths after making no impression. Seven starts without a placing make her hard to recommend beyond improvement hopes.

Was last at Nagoya last start, beaten over 17 lengths by Cavort, after looking to have her chance near the turn and weakening badly. The start prior at Mombetsu was no better, finishing last and beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. This grade may suit better, but her recent form demands a big lift just to make the placings.
