Nagoya Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500
MIKANO VENUS (9) Ran 4th last start here. Happy to overlook that run and returning to a longer distance. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide barrier. Winnable race. PACHIRA SWEET (4) Ran 7th last time at this track. Expected to rebound. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Teruya Tsunoda stable are in good form of late. Looks to be value. MITSUKANE SCORPIO (6) Only fair when 11th last run at the track. Should jump out and bowl along. Solid place bet prospects. BOMBONIERE (10) Ran 6th last time at this venue. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run.

Improved into fourth in a C2 at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths behind Ric To Memma after being unwanted in the market. That was a better effort than her eighth in C1 grade the run prior, when she had the drop on the leaders but could not go on with it. The class drop gives her some hope, though 23 starts around 1500m without a win keeps her more in the rough each-way bracket.

Has been well held in both runs this campaign, finishing ninth in B1 company last start when beaten over 14 lengths after failing to quicken. She was also last at this venue two back, beaten over 15 lengths after coming under pressure late. Proven at this track and distance, but the recent form is too plain to recommend strongly.

Finished tenth in B8 company last start, beaten over 13 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. His previous run was similar, second last in B9 company and beaten over 14 lengths behind Amiens. He has won twice at this track and distance and reunites with a winning rider, but recent form leaves him hard to support.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing seventh in a COND at this track, beaten just over four lengths behind Sacrifice when near the top of an open market. The run prior was a sharp drop-out when last and beaten over 18 lengths. She has two wins and five places from 29 starts at this track and distance, so a return to her better form would put her into the minor-money mix.

Was never a factor in B9 company last start, finishing tenth and beaten over 18 lengths after conceding a huge start. That followed a ninth in B1 grade when unable to make any impression from well back. She has past wins at this track and distance, but she is unplaced in all eleven starts this season and must find far more.

Resumed with a plain second-last in B8 company at this venue, beaten over 13 lengths behind Win Rise and giving little in the run home. His prior run was a C2 win at Morioka Dirt over 1000m, beating T O Stade by half a length, so he does have winning form in the broader profile. The 1500m record remains the sticking point, making him a place hope only if he sharpens second-up.

Finished eighth in B1 company last start, beaten over 14 lengths behind Toppi Go after failing to finish off. Her previous run was better on paper, sixth and beaten just over six lengths, but she was only battling from just off the pace. The class drop is some help, yet she is unplaced in six starts over the past 12 months and others bring stronger credentials.

Won strongly over this track and distance last start in C7 company, beating Tactica by three lengths as a short odds-on favourite after showing a sharp turn of foot. That was a clear turnaround from her sixth behind Treasure Beat, when she kept going without ever looking a winning hope. Proven at this track and distance and aided by weight relief, she brings the right last-start platform to take beating again.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a first-up fourth over 920m at this track, beaten four and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite when only fair to the line. She had ended her previous campaign with a third over the same short trip, again well found in betting. Her overall record is strong, and one win with three placings from five tries around 1500m keeps her a genuine place chance.

Led and held on for sixth in C3 company last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Ppallippalli Rise as favourite, so the result was not as bad as the finishing position suggests. She had been second at this track the run prior, beaten just under a length after picking up well. With solid recent ratings, a light weight and proven track-distance form, she remains a strong winning hope.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a sound third in a COND at this track, beaten a length and a half by Sacrifice at generous odds while working home evenly. That was a much better showing than her seventh behind Kafuji Java at the run prior. Her track-distance record is more place-heavy than win-heavy, but the latest effort gives her a clear chance to fight out the result.
