Nagoya Race 10 - Race 10 - 2000

MARUKA BLITZ (12) is the top pick on the strength of his 1700m B1 win here two runs ago, where he beat PEACH BLOSSOM by five lengths after letting down with real authority. He was below that as a well-supported favourite behind Keiai Karakia last start, but the weight relief and solid Nagoya profile give him a clear chance to rebound. RIPLEY (8) is the most reliable danger, bringing a B1 win and an A5 placing from her past two, plus an excellent record at the track and distance. OKEN BOSS (9) improved sharply when beaten a neck over 1500m, and his Nagoya record with Takahiro Imai keeps him right in calculations despite the rise in trip. A SHIN MAQLUBE (4) earned her place in the mix with a 1700m B1 win here and has a strong record with Aoi Kinomae, although 2000m is the new test she has to answer.

Comments

Has been safely held at his past two starts, finishing second last over 1700m here behind Keiai Karakia when beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. His previous ninth in 3yo+ A2 company over 1400m was no better, and there was little late in either performance. The class drop and strong Nagoya record are positives, but he must find a major form reversal.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after winning a 3yo+ B2 over 1500m at Nagoya, where he was a short odds-on favourite and beat Maruka Blitz by a length and a half. The run prior is the caution, as he was beaten seven lengths over 1700m as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. His track record is sound, but two unplaced runs at this distance temper the winning case.

Has offered little in two recent runs, finishing ninth over 1700m here behind Keiai Karakia after settling a long way back and failing to improve. Two back he was second last in a 3yo+ COND, well beaten by 23 lengths and unwanted in the market. Past track-and-distance placings give minor context, but current form leaves him hard to recommend.

Lifted nicely last start to win a 3yo+ B1 over 1700m at Nagoya, leading and scoring by a length from Belleza Fin while near the top of an open market. That followed a fair sixth over 1500m behind Oscillation. Her record with Aoi Kinomae is a genuine asset, and while the rise to 2000m is a query, she has clear top-three appeal.

Comments

Produced her best recent work when third to A Shin Maqlube in a 1700m B1 here, finishing hard from an unlikely position to be beaten just under two lengths. The concern is that her prior fourth behind Ripley was nine and a half lengths away and she owns only one win from 35 starts. The finish last time gives her a place angle, not a strong win case.

Was honest without threatening when fourth over 1700m here behind Keiai Karakia, beaten six and a half lengths after failing to quicken. Her second to Sabu Ryu Shin over 1500m the start prior reads better, but she remains unplaced in two attempts at this distance. A repeat of the two-back effort would help, though others bring sharper claims.

Has finished eighth at both runs since her better form, most recently beaten over 10 lengths at Nagoya after sitting close enough but failing to finish off. The previous 3yo+ COND effort was weaker again, as she was beaten over 14 lengths and unwanted in the market. A prior track win is noted, but her current figures fall short.

Comes here in strong order after winning a 3yo+ B1 at Nagoya by half a length from Handful, having been near the top of betting. The prior second over 1700m behind Daichi Rapport was also solid, especially given she started an outside chance. Seven wins at this track and a perfect two-start distance profile make her a serious winning threat.

Bounced back sharply when beaten a neck over 1500m here behind Aster Ruthenium, fighting hard after briefly holding the advantage despite being among the outsiders. The run before was poor behind Maruka Blitz, but his broader Nagoya record and strong association with Takahiro Imai are notable. If he carries that latest effort to 2000m, he is a live chance.

Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening after winning a 3yo+ B1 over 1500m at Nagoya by a length and a half, travelling behind the leader before finishing off cleanly. He had earlier run third over 1700m behind Rock Majesty at big odds, so the recent form is respectable. The first try at 2000m is the question, but he can hold a minor claim.

Comments

Worked home into third over 1700m here behind Keiai Karakia, beaten five lengths after starting big odds. His previous eighth in 3yo+ A2 grade over 1400m was plain, so the latest run was a useful lift. Seigo Tsukamoto has a good record aboard, and that helps his place prospects, but the first try at this trip keeps the assessment measured.

Comments

Has the strongest winning reference through his 3yo+ B1 win here two starts ago, when he beat Peach Blossom by five lengths over 1700m and scored with plenty in hand. Last start he was a beaten favourite behind Keiai Karakia, but he still raced handy and battled on fairly. Weight relief and a solid Nagoya record point to a clear rebound opportunity, making him the horse to beat.
