Nagoya Race 11 - Race 11 - 2000

RIPLEY (3) In the money when 2nd last start at this venue. Showing great form this preparation. Has genuine claims in this race. SARASARA HAIR (1) Just short of the win last start around here and drawn beautifully. Should jump out and bowl along. Teruya Tsunoda has been training plenty of winners recently. Looks promising in this race. TANABATA (4) Looked good when 2nd last time at Kasamatsu and going back up in distance. Seigo Tsukamoto and Hiroyuki Imazu are an appealing combination. Likely to be well placed early. Can win this. BALEARIC SEA (7) Came in 7th last time here. Good to see Takahiro Imai is jumping on. Will be hitting the line strongly. Watch it go close.

Comments

Comes off consecutive seconds at this track, most recently beaten a neck by Teruken Leinster in A3 grade after tracking the speed and lengthening nicely. She had been safely held into second behind Keiai Karakia in A4 company before that, but her record at this venue is excellent. One previous 2000m try without a placing is the query, yet her current form keeps her right in the place mix.

Worked home well when second to Maruka Blitz last start, beaten a length and a half as the odds-on favourite. That followed a B1 win at this track over Handful, and her broader 2000m record is a major strength with two wins and two placings from five tries around the trip. With the winning rider back and a perfect record for the quinella at this track and distance, she is the clear horse to beat.

Bounced back when second to Windmuhle at Kasamatsu last week, holding a minor prize after looking in control before the winner had his measure. His previous run at this track in A1 grade was plain, finishing last behind Mia Stella at big odds. The quick back-up asks something, but six wins from twelve starts at this venue keep him in the frame for another placing.

Has struggled badly at the past two starts, most recently beaten over 13 lengths behind Box Office after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. She was also last behind Dona Guinea at this track two runs ago. Her overall and track records are much better than that, and she has won at the distance, but recent form makes her hard to recommend.

Freshened for four weeks after finishing second last behind Kawaten Max in A1 grade, where he settled handy but could not offer a challenge. The start prior was better, beaten two lengths by Bol after racing right in the contest. He has been unplaced in two runs at this distance and was beaten by Yuzunoki recently, so the case rests on a return to that earlier effort.

Was only fair through the line when seventh behind Teruken Leinster last start, beaten four and a half lengths after being an outside chance in the betting. He had closed off from a long way back over 920m the run prior, but still finished eighth. His track record is respectable and he has placed at this trip, yet recent performances leave him with ground to make up.

Fought hard when third to Teruken Leinster last start, beaten a long neck at generous odds, and that followed a solid fourth behind Kawaten Max in A1 grade. She gets in with 52kg and has been a regular placegetter at this track, though three previous starts around 2000m without a placing keep the trip as the main question. On recent form, she is a genuine winning danger.

Has finished seventh at his past two starts in A1 grade, most recently beaten just over nine lengths behind Gold Bond after being only fair through the line. The run prior behind Kawaten Max was also moderate. He does have a previous win from his only start around 2000m and drops in grade, but he will have to find a sharper finish to land a placing.
