Nagoya Race 10 - Race 10 - 1700

NIHONPIRO TIES (7) First up. Snagged a narrow win last time around here. Junki Mochizuki does know the horse very well. Has very good finishing speed. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. SOLAR RAY (3) Back after a spell. Came in 4th last time at this venue. Expecting improvement. Jockey Seigo Tsukamoto has been successful before. Will be there at the finish. AL BARSHA (6) Backing up quickly for this race. Finished 6th last run at Kasamatsu. Can show a better performance this time. Should get going late. Goes very close. THOMAS TESORO (4) Finished 5th last time at this track. Giving another go here. Will be motoring home late. One of the hopes.

Comments

Had little left late when last in an A1 at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths after leading narrowly into the lane at long odds. The run prior was far stronger, winning an A3 over 920m at this venue by three lengths from J L Bulker when prominent in betting. The class drop and winning rider returning help, but he must rebound sharply to be more than a rough each-way hope.

Comments

Led last start in an A1 over 1400m at this track but faded to sixth, beaten just over nine lengths, and he was unwanted in the market. His previous seventh behind Jasper Noir was better late, yet still left him almost five lengths away. Has won around this trip before and drops in grade, but current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a fourth in an A2 at this track, beaten six and a half lengths after racing prominently as one of the better-backed runners. He had earlier placed in an A1 behind Box Office, and his one win plus nine placings from 15 starts at this track and distance read well. More reliable as a placegetter lately, but his profile gives him a genuine winning chance.

Closed the margin last start when fifth in an A3 at this track, beaten just over a length despite being at long odds, though he did not quite quicken when the race was there to be won. His previous fourth in an A2 had merit from a market point of view, and three wins around 1700m give him the right grounding. A repeat of the latest run keeps him in the minor-money mix.

Has been well held at both recent runs, finishing eighth in an A1 at this track last start when beaten over 12 lengths after giving away a big start. The run prior was also plain, sixth over 2000m and beaten over 15 lengths after failing to finish off. His track-and-trip record is a positive, but his recent form has to lift markedly.

Backs up after one week, which is assessed as suitable, following a fair sixth over 1900m at Kasamatsu when beaten four lengths and unwanted in betting. Two back he was third in an A1 at this track over 2000m, working home evenly. The weight relief and four wins from eleven starts at this track and distance are strong supports, so he appeals as a solid place chance.

Returns from a four-month break with strong claims, having last been seen winning an A3 at this track by a neck from Solar Ray when well found in betting. His record at this venue is excellent, and he is two from two at the distance on the supplied figures. Junki Mochizuki also suits, with four wins from six rides on him, and that proven local profile makes him the horse to beat.
