Nagoya Race 10 - Race 10 - 1500
STAPES SHOMA (4) Bold effort to win by 1 1/2L last run around here. Should get going late. Junki Mochizuki is very comfortable aboard. Very competitive this preparation. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . NOBORI YUMIN (1) Fresh after a break. Finished on top by 2 1/2L last run at this venue and has the ideal barrier. Should be swooping on the field late. Will be competitive. SARASARA HAIR (7) Tidy run when 2nd last time at this track but down in distance. Recent form of the stable is strong. Chance. SCIPIO (11) Came in 8th last time at this track. Should be rolling forward early from the wide gate. Cracking each way value.

Returns from a three-month break after closing last campaign with a strong A4 win at this track, coming from well back to beat Rock Majesty by two and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite. She had been fifth to Daichi Rapport the start prior, but her 1500m record of four wins and four placings from 11 attempts reads well. Freshness is the query, though her profile gives her sound place claims.

Returns from a five-month spell after finishing sixth over 2000m at this track, beaten just under seven lengths when among the outsiders and unable to finish the race off. His previous second over 1700m was better, but that came at long odds and the win strike-rate at this track and distance is modest. The rider record helps, yet he has to return sharper to threaten.

Returns from a three-month break after two heavy defeats in Open grade, most recently 14th at Chukyo Dirt when beaten over 13 lengths and unwanted in the market. The move to a new stable is a point of interest, but he has been unplaced in both previous attempts around 1500m and recent form gives little encouragement. He is capable of better historically, yet this still asks for a clear turnaround.

Comes in off another strong win at this track, driving late to beat Le Terrible by a length and a half over 1700m as odds-on favourite. He had fought hard when second to Noble Act the start prior, and his record here is outstanding with four wins and a placing from five starts. Two wins from two at this distance and an unbeaten partnership with Junki Mochizuki make him the horse to beat.

Has been honest without winning, finishing third over 2000m at this track last start when beaten just under two lengths at generous odds. She was also close up over 1700m the run prior, but carries 3kg more than last start and has to convert those placings into a sharper winning effort. Her track-and-distance record is strong, so she can run well without being the top seed.

Kept on fairly for fifth in A2 grade over 2000m at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths after being unwanted in the market. That was an improvement on his A1 failure two back, when second last and never a factor. Returning to a trip where he has won helps, and the rider has a solid record on him, so he shapes as a realistic place chance rather than a standout winner.

Has put together consecutive seconds at this track, most recently working into the race well over 2000m and finishing a length and a half from Ripley in A2 grade. Her earlier neck second over 1700m was another solid piece of form, and she now returns to a 1500m range where she has three wins and a placing from six starts. That consistency makes her a major winning danger.

Was a beaten favourite when last at this track over 1700m, dropping out sharply and finishing beaten out of sight with no clear excuse. The positive is her win the start prior, when she beat Stapes Shoma by a length in A5 grade, and she gets weight relief here. That peak run keeps her in calculations for exotics, but she must put the latest failure well behind her.

Was safely held at Sonoda last start, finishing eighth in a COND over 1700m after settling back and making no impression at long odds. His third at Sonoda the run prior was sound enough, though he was still beaten six and a half lengths in a small field. A proven 1500m record gives him a way into the minor money, but recent winning intent has been missing.

Drops out of stronger recent assignments after finishing sixth in A2 grade over 2000m at this track, beaten just over three lengths when near the top of an open market. The A1 run prior was plain, but he has a deep 1500m base and has placed in six of ten at this track and distance. With the right race shape, his proven profile gives him a strong chance to rebound.

Resumed with a poor eighth in A1 grade at this track, beaten over 15 lengths after travelling as though he might be competitive before offering little. His previous run before a spell was also a heavy defeat at Kasamatsu. The positives are weight relief and a strong overall record around 1500m, but he has to show far more second-up to be a serious winning player.
