Nagoya Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500

ARMORED TRUCK (7) Was rock solid when winning by 5L last start here and hard to fault at the distance. Should be going forward early. Junki Mochizuki does know the horse very well. Suitably placed in this race. TOPPI GO (3) Made a mess of them when winning by a margin of 5L last time around here and have to respect the form at the trip. Has to be included. HUNKSTER (9) Gave them a lesson when winning by 3L last run at this venue and showing improvement in recent outings. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Can win at odds. YAMAKATSU RAIKO (10) Did well when 3rd last time here. Going well this campaign. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Looks to be value.

Worked home fairly without ever looking a winning hope when sixth in a B2 at this track, beaten just over four lengths at big odds. The start prior was a distant fourth behind Shuffle Girl in B1 grade, again from a big price, so the recent form reads more honest than threatening. The class drop helps, but her one win from 17 starts around 1500m leaves her with plenty to find.

Led narrowly last start in a B5 at this venue but was swamped late and finished ninth, beaten eight lengths at long odds. That followed an even heavier defeat at Kasamatsu when well fancied enough in an open market but beaten over 12 lengths. She is a track-and-trip winner and the rider has won on her, yet the current form is too plain to trust.

Put the race away in strong style last start, winning a B1 at this track by five lengths as odds-on favourite after holding a narrow advantage and quickening clear. He had been beaten only half a length by Seisui Million the run prior, so the form has built cleanly. With two wins and two placings from five starts at this track and distance, he looks a serious winning threat again.

Kept grinding away from a rearward position when fifth in a B2 at this track, beaten two and a half lengths, which was a sound effort at an outside price. Her previous sixth in B1 over 1700m was also respectable without being sharp. She has placed around this track and distance without winning there, so she profiles as a minor-money hope rather than a clear top pick.

Failed to threaten when eighth at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths at generous odds, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. The counterpoint is his previous C1 win over 2000m, where he knuckled down to beat Pick And Roll by a neck. Weight relief is in his favour and he knows this venue, but at eight years of age he must rebound quickly.

Was safely held again last start when ninth behind Ice Note at this track, beaten five and a half lengths after failing to finish it off. The run prior over 920m was also plain, with no change of gears after tracking the speed. Her 1500m record includes six wins, but the latest two efforts show she has to find a much stronger finish to threaten.

Resumed with a dominant five-length C1 win at this track, travelling like the short-priced favourite he was and extending in effortless style from Pomme D'Or. His previous run in July was another win here, so the profile remains highly convincing. Five wins from six starts overall and a perfect record around this track and distance make him the benchmark runner and the one to beat.

Disappointed when seventh as one of the leading market hopes in a B2 at this track, beaten over 10 lengths without making an impact. Her previous second to Miya Iguazu was much better, beaten only a neck after looming and fighting hard. Third-up and dropping in grade are positives, but she has to reproduce that earlier effort to be a reliable place chance.

Comments

Comes off a strong B1 win at this track, leading and scoring by three lengths from Win Rise after being well found in betting. That followed a safely held third behind Namura Fixer, but his overall recent profile is solid and his track-and-distance record is a major asset. With three wins and four placings from nine tries at this setup, he is right among the winning chances.

Comments

Placed last start in a B4 at this track but was beaten four lengths as a well-supported favourite, so the market expectation was higher than the result. Two back he led and faded to seventh behind T O Lippmann, beaten just over five lengths. His four wins at this track and distance keep him relevant, though he looks more a place hope unless he sharpens late.

Comments

Has put together consecutive seconds at this track, most recently beaten three lengths by Satono Altair at long odds after being run down late. He filled the same position over 920m the start prior, again from a huge price. The place record around this track and distance is strong, but with only one win from 22 tries there, he appeals more underneath than on top.
