Nagoya Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500
PHILIA ASTI (4) Was dominant when winning by a margin of 4L last run around here and facing a rise in trip. Jockey Seigo Tsukamoto and trainer Hiroyuki Imazu form a formidable team. No shock to see a win. DREAM OF KOJI (12) Chimed in with a win by 1 1/2L last time around here and form has been improving over recent runs. This field suits. HARETERU (2) Ran 2nd last start around here and has a good draw. Should be going forward early. Been in the money each attempt this campaign and promising career start. In the mix. DENALI (5) Below par performance when 6th last time at this venue. Recent form of the stable is strong. Could run into the placings.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing last in a Niigata Mdn, beaten over 19 lengths, when unwanted in the market and unable to improve from a long way back. His previous run was only marginally better, finishing second last at Niigata at big odds. The fresh start may help, but he has been unplaced in all three starts and has a fair amount to prove before he can be trusted.

Placed again at this track last start, finishing second over 1500m and beaten three lengths after being run down late. He was also third here the run prior, although beaten out of sight, so the placing record is stronger than the margins. With three placings from three starts and two placings from two at the distance, he profiles as a sound place chance rather than a dominant winning hope.

Finished seventh at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths, after conceding a big start and staying on only fairly. That followed a distant third behind New Harpy when she passed tired runners late. Her record at around 1500m is one placing from six attempts, and she was beaten by Dream Of Koji here recently, so a sharper effort is required.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a decisive win at this track, leading and opening right up to beat Be Gifted by four lengths as an odds-on favourite. She had earlier run third on debut after travelling well, giving her a top-three finish from both starts. The 1500m is new territory, but she brings sharp winning form and the rider who won on her stays aboard.

Resumed with a sixth at this track, beaten just over six lengths, when he sat handy but did not finish off after being unwanted in the market. That run should bring him on, and his debut win here over 900m was a good piece of juvenile form, picking up sharply to beat Megrez. The distance remains the only query, but he has already shown enough quality at this venue to be the one they have to beat.

Was never in the race when last at this track last start, beaten over 20 lengths after conceding a huge start. The run prior was even more worrying, finishing second last behind Megrez and beaten out of sight after failing to improve. She has won before, but three unplaced runs at this track and distance make this a difficult assignment on current form.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing 13th in a Nakayama Dirt Mdn over 1200m, beaten over 20 lengths and unwanted in the market. Her debut at Niigata Dirt was also well held, finishing second last in a NEWCOMER. The class drop gives her some context for improvement, but 1500m is untried and she must produce far more to make an impact.

Finished sixth behind Dream Of Koji at this track last start, beaten ten lengths, and did not muster enough in the straight. She had led two back before fading into fifth behind New Harpy, again beaten over 10 lengths. With one placing from five starts at this track and distance, her profile is more exposed than some and she has to find a stronger finish.

Improved to finish second at this track last start, although Double Hold had her measure and she was beaten seven lengths after lacking the dash to threaten. The previous seventh was plain, but she receives weight relief and has already won within an eight-start career. Her 1500m record is mixed, so she looks a realistic place hope if she holds the latest effort.

Finished second last at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths, after conceding a big start and never getting into the race. She was also last here the run prior, well beaten after settling rearward and weakening. A previous win at this venue is the main positive, but her two unplaced runs at the distance and recent margins make her hard to support.

Finished ninth at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths, after settling a fair way off the leader and failing to come into contention. His previous eighth behind Megrez was another heavy defeat, despite having led. He has won one of three at this venue, but two unplaced runs at the distance and recent margins point to a tough task.

Broke through at this track last start, driving hard late to beat Sara Kano by a length and a half as a dominant very short odds-on favourite. That followed a third here behind New Harpy when he worked home evenly at long odds, showing clear progression through the campaign. With a win and a placing from two runs at both the track and distance, he is a major winning threat again.
