Nagoya Race 4 - Race 4 - 1500
LEMAN NO SOYOKAZE (3) brings the cleanest profile after placings at both starts, the latest a second here when beaten just under a length as a dominant odds-on favourite. That defeat was costly for punters, but she has already placed at the distance, draws well and looks ready to convert. I'LL RISING (7) was also beaten as an odds-on favourite first-up, yet the margin was only two lengths over 920m and the added race fitness gives him scope to improve, with the rise in trip the main question. BANSHEE HARPY (9) owns the only recent win among the main hopes, scoring at Mombetsu two back, so her best is good enough if she rebounds from a plain Nagoya sixth. HARETERU (4) has placed in both starts and is from a strong track stable, though his latest third came a long way from the winner, leaving him more of a place-based danger than a standout winning threat.

Finished fourth here last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Mozu Lady Luck after settling rearward. The run prior was more competitive when second over 920m, beaten two lengths by Gold Touch after travelling well near the speed. She is still a maiden after six starts and unplaced in two runs at this distance, so a sharper finish is required to trouble the main chances.

Has been well held at her past two, finishing seventh here last start when beaten over 16 lengths by New Harpy after failing to muster in the straight. She was also tenth the run prior, beaten over 15 lengths after being unwanted in the market. The class drop is noted, but her track-and-distance record is poor and current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Went close again here last start, finishing second to Second Nuts and beaten just under a length over this trip. She was a dominant odds-on favourite there, but that followed a debut second to Gold Feather when pressing forward and keeping on over 900m. Placed in both starts at Nagoya, now third-up and drawn to get every chance, she has the right profile to make the breakthrough.

Finished third here last start and has now placed in both runs, but the margin behind Second Nuts was a long one and he also finished behind Leman No Soyokaze in that race. His debut second to Royal Amber over 900m was more encouraging, especially as he was near the top of betting. From a strong track stable and second-up, he has place claims without looking the main winning hope.

Was tailed off when fourth here last start behind Second Nuts, starting at big odds and offering little evidence of a turnaround. His previous sixth behind Mozu Lady Luck was also plain, beaten just over nine lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. Weight relief and a class drop help at the edges, but seven starts without a placing is a major concern.

Finished last here last start, beaten over 18 lengths by New Harpy after giving away a big start in the straight and never getting into the race. That followed a last placing in a 2yo Maiden at Chukyo, where he was well beaten by 21 lengths at long odds. Fourth-up fitness is a small positive, but the recent form is too poor to recommend with confidence.

Resumed with a fourth here over 920m, beaten two lengths by Cavort after sitting behind the leaders as an odds-on favourite. That was short of market expectations, and the rise to 1500m is a new test, but he has placed at Nagoya and should take improvement second-up. With a strong local stable behind him, his exposed form still keeps him firmly among the winning hopes.

Was tailed off when fifth behind Second Nuts last start and had been unwanted in the market, which makes that run difficult to promote. Two back he led here and finished fifth behind Mozu Lady Luck, beaten just over five lengths at generous odds. He has placed once from five runs at this track and distance, but recent efforts leave him needing a clear lift.

Won well at Mombetsu two starts back, beating Ric Bella by a length over 1000m after travelling into the race and finishing strongly. Last start at Nagoya was a clear backward step, finishing sixth behind New Harpy and beaten over 14 lengths after offering little. That poor run has to be forgiven, but she brings the best winning reference in the field and can bounce back sharply.

Has put together consecutive thirds over 920m here, most recently beaten just over a length by Cavort after racing prominently and lacking the final punch. The earlier third behind Flattern came at long odds when she led and battled away. She is still winless from five and tries this distance for the first time, but her recent consistency gives her a genuine minor-money case.

Nearly stole one here last start, leading and being pipped at the post by Cavort over 920m when beaten half a length as an outside chance in betting. The run prior was much weaker, finishing sixth to Flattern and beaten over 13 lengths after racing handy. She now stretches to 1500m for the first time, so the place case is stronger than the winning push.
