Nagoya Race 2 - Race 2 - 1500
IBERIS AMARA (5) Well beaten when 11th last time at this venue. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ANNE GROWTH (11) Ran 6th last start here. Looking past the last run. Expected to be flashing home. Will be competitive. NAMURA ADAM (8) Not up to scratch when 12th last start at this venue. Should be swooping on the field late. Genuine winning chance. RIVA DELLA LUNA (4) Ran 6th last time around here but returns to a rise in trip. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Among the chances.

Was ninth over 920m at this track last start, settling rearward and making no impression when beaten over 12 lengths by Labrador on good ground. The start prior was another plain eighth in C3 company, beaten nine and a half lengths by Meisho Kengo, and she was unwanted in the market both times. Barrier 1 is some help and she did beat Anne Growth at this track about three weeks ago, but her 1500m record keeps the win case guarded.

Has the right set-up to improve fourth-up, with a class drop and Junki Mochizuki taking the ride as one of the stronger jockeys at this track. The form itself still has a question, as she was seventh in C3 company last start, beaten over 10 lengths by Meisho Solar, after being never competitive the run prior. In a modest contest, that profile is still good enough to put her among the key winning hopes.

Finished last over 920m at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths by Labrador after being well back and making no impression. The run prior was only marginally better, finishing sixth in C3 company but still beaten over 14 lengths by Nishiki Birkin. Unplaced in all nine starts overall and winless at this distance range, she has a sizeable form gap to close.

Worked home fairly from well back when sixth over 920m at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Labrador after starting at big odds. That was a better effort than his previous sixth, when beaten over 17 lengths by Perfect Snow in COND grade. He has no placing from seven starts around 1500m, but a recent line over Into Deep keeps him in the place discussion.

Was second last behind Greenwich Rose at this track last start, beaten over 19 lengths after racing just off the lead, so that run is difficult to excuse. The start prior was more competitive in C3 grade, finishing seventh and beaten eight and a half lengths by Meisho Kengo. Weight relief and his rating profile keep him in the mix, though he must rebound sharply to make full use of them.

Was second last over 920m at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Labrador after settling rearward and never looking likely. Two back she was eighth in C3 company, beaten over 17 lengths by Nishiki Birkin, and the market has offered little support. The distance rating is the one positive, but she is unplaced from 15 starts and profiles as a rough place hope only.

Has been a long way off them at her past two, finishing second last in C3 company last start when well beaten by 20 lengths behind Nishiki Birkin. The start prior was a distant last behind Brilliance, and there was no in-running excuse offered for either result. The class drop is a minor positive and she was a ¥6.8m yearling purchase, but the race form has not yet matched that profile.

Has the historical credentials of a track-and-trip winner and comes from a leading local stable, but the current form is hard to support. He was last behind Greenwich Rose last start, beaten a long way after failing to improve, and was second last in C3 company the run prior. Unplaced in 24 starts across the past 12 months, he would have to find form not seen for some time.

Did enough last start to stay prominent in this company, finishing eighth behind Greenwich Rose after settling well back and never looking likely, but reducing the margin from his previous C3 failure behind Take The Throne. He remains unplaced from 16 overall and has yet to place from 13 starts around 1500m, so the profile is not clean. Even so, against this field he rates as a genuine winning threat.

Finished seventh over 920m at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Labrador after settling rearward and never looking likely. The start prior was a tenth in COND grade, beaten over 15 lengths by Win Griffith, and his six previous tries around 1500m have produced no placing. He is race fit, but the recent figures leave him with plenty to find.

Improved to sixth behind Greenwich Rose at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths after having the job ahead but still finishing off better than several key rivals. She carries only 52kg, has a recent win in the matchup over Into Deep, and that gives her a stronger case than most in a race with limited winning form. The 1500m record is still unproven, but her latest run points to the right horse.
