Nagoya Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
AKATSUKI LOTERIE (6) Tidy run when 3rd last run at the track and will be well suited at the distance. Showing good ability this preparation. Serious player. SEISUI MILLION (9) Right up there last start at this track. Producing consistent results this campaign. Can give this a shake. AT THE HOP (7) Finished 4th last time here. Has the ability to turn things around. Looks promising in this race. SKY REX (1) Ordinary performance when 10th last run at this track but drawn the rails. Should be around the mark.

Was safely held first-up at this track, finishing tenth in COND grade over 1700m after settling just off the lead and fading to be beaten over 14 lengths. That followed a last placing at Fukushima Dirt when big odds and beaten over 19 lengths. The class drop offers some help, but his lone 1500m run has not produced a placing and sharp improvement is required.

Returned with a much better effort at this track, finishing fourth in B2 grade and beaten just over two lengths despite starting at long odds. Her previous run at Urawa was plain, but this is a more relevant guide given she settled back and still made ground into a stronger race. The 1500m record is only fair, yet the class drop and last-start improvement make her a strong winning chance.

Resumed with a solid third in B3 grade at this track, beaten four lengths by Kismet after tracking the speed and working home evenly. His previous A4 run was plain, but he is far better suited back to a course-and-distance profile of five wins and 13 placings from 26 attempts. With the winning rider back and a class drop in play, he brings the most reliable winning case.

Finished fifth in B4 grade at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths after conceding a big start and only making steady ground. She had been closer the run prior when fourth and beaten a length and a half, so there is some recent substance. Even so, her 15 starts at this track and distance have produced placings but no win, leaving her with a place-leaning profile.

Returns from a two-month break after going within a neck in B4 grade at this track, tracking the speed and lengthening well into second. That backed up a close third in B5 company, so the recent form reads honestly. The query is the winning edge, with no wins from 17 starts around 1500m, but he is capable of holding another placing if ready to repeat those efforts.

Has been hard to fault for consistency, finishing third in B5 grade last start when sent out favourite and beaten a length and a half after being right in the contest. He was also third in B6 grade two weeks earlier, and his track-and-distance record is excellent with three wins and three placings from six starts. The beaten-favourite tag is noted, but he rates a strong chance again.

Kept coming without threatening when fourth in B4 grade at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths by Satono Altair. The run prior was another sound fifth, beaten two and a half lengths after having the leaders within range. Her past 12 months show four wins and four placings from 16 starts, so she has enough recent depth to be a genuine place hope.

Has to rebound from a poor last-start run at this track, finishing last in B2 grade and beaten over 17 lengths after coming under pressure late. She was also beaten a long way in B1 grade two back, so the recent form is a major concern. A past track-and-distance win is noted, but she was beaten by Vina Hai Phong recently and others appeal more strongly.

Went very close in B8 grade at this track last start, finishing second and beaten a neck by Win Rise after looking ready to strike as favourite. That followed a C1 win over Toppi Go, and his broader recent record of two wins and four placings from eight starts in the past 12 months is appealing. From his natural leader profile, he has the form to give this a real shake.
