Nagoya Race 1 - Race 1 - 1500
MEINER KAISER (5) Honest race when 2nd last time here. Must respect. ORTHO JUPITER (2) Came in 3rd last run at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Has plenty of early speed. Must be considered. MAETERLINCK (8) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run here. Can take this out. SANTA CATALINA (7) Not up to scratch when 13th last run at Chukyo and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Racing for a new trainer. Should get going late. Follow market leads.

Returns from a five-week freshening and reaches the third run of the campaign after a plain tenth in a Mdn over 1000m at Sapporo Dirt, beaten just under nine lengths at big odds after settling back and making no ground. His earlier Fukushima eighth was better, beaten just over four lengths when he picked up late. The 1500m remains a query on exposed record, but the class drop gives him place prospects.

Returns from a one-month let-up after finishing third in C1 grade at this track, beaten four and a half lengths by Nishiki Vivravivre when tracking the speed and only working home fairly. The start prior told a similar story, as she led narrowly into the lane before weakening. She has placed often enough at this track and distance, but her winning strike-rate leaves others with stronger claims.

Resumes after six months off following a seventh at this track in COND grade, beaten ten lengths by Bear Force One after sitting close enough but failing to launch. Her previous run was weaker again, as she was well beaten and unwanted in the market. The class drop is some help, but one placing from 13 starts around 1500m underlines the task ahead first-up.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last campaign with a distant last in a Mdn over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt, where he settled rearward and gave further ground late. His previous sixth at Kyoto Dirt was also safely held, beaten nine and a half lengths by Saimon Zest. He is untried around 1500m and still unplaced from four starts, so this requires a marked turnaround.

Went close at this track last start, holding a narrow lead and fighting hard before Alma Freya got past late to beat him a length in COND grade. That was a clear rebound from his well-held seventh here two back, when unwanted in the market and unable to make ground. He has placed three times from eight starts at this track and distance, and that local grounding makes him a strong winning chance.

Finished fourth as favourite at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Queen Of Heart after keeping to the task without really lifting. Two back she was again fourth, beaten over 12 lengths, though she did catch the eye late after giving away ground. Recent market respect says she is capable of better, but the maiden record keeps the winning case in check.

Returns from a two-month freshening with the key attraction being the drop from Mdn company into C2 grade. Her latest 13th over 2200m at Chukyo was plain, beaten over 12 lengths after never getting into the race, and 1500m is new ground. Even so, her Kokura sixth two back, beaten four and a half lengths by Aoi Haruka, reads strongly enough here and she gets her chance to break through.

Worked home evenly for third at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths by Queen Of Heart in COND grade, which was a fair improvement on her previous eighth over 920m when she did not quicken. She has one placing from three starts around 1500m, so the distance is within range, but one placing from eleven career starts leaves her with a bit to find.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing second last in ALLOW grade at Sapporo Dirt, beaten over 11 lengths by Star Of London when big odds and never in the picture. His previous Mdn run over 2400m was even more one-sided, so the recent figures are plain. The appeal is the drop into C2 company, and that class relief gives him a genuine chance to improve sharply.

Resumes after four months off having ended last campaign with a tenth in a Mdn at Kokura Dirt, beaten over 16 lengths after racing prominently and offering little late. The run prior at Hanshin Dirt was more respectable, beaten just under eight lengths at long odds. He is unplaced from two starts around 1500m, but the class drop and leading jockey booking keep him in place calculations.

Was second last at this track a fortnight ago, beaten over 14 lengths by Jacky Barows after settling back and making no impression at long odds. Her Kasamatsu third the run prior was a better effort, grinding into the placings despite starting unwanted in the market. The 1500m record offers some support, but she must return to that earlier form to trouble these.
