Nagoya Race 7 - Race 7 - 1500
DILECTIO (5) Ran 8th last time at this track. Happy to forgive that run. Has shown early pace in races to date. Suitably placed in this race. AL MIRAJ (6) Fresh from a break. Folded up in the straight when 11th last run at Chukyo. Looking past the last run. First start for a new trainer. Won't be far away. PLOT THICKENS (10) Came in 6th last time at this track. Looking for an improved run. Deserves consideration. ALPHA LYRAE (3) Lacklustre showing when 10th last run at the track. Good prospects.

Has offered very little in two runs at this venue this campaign, finishing last on both occasions and beaten a long way by Rize Cool Grey most recently. The start prior was no better in COND grade, where she was never competitive and was beaten out of sight after being unwanted in the market. Third-up fitness and barrier one are small positives, but her current figures leave a major task.

Drops into this off two heavy defeats, the latest when last in an ALLOW over 2400m at Tokyo after settling miles back and failing to improve. His debut at Nakayama was also plain in Mdn grade, but he is third-up now and represents T Tsunoda, the top-ranked trainer for wins at this track, with Soichi Kato also a strong local booking. The new 1500m task is a query, yet the setup gives him a genuine winning chance in this field.

Finished second last at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression late. The run prior was also safely held in COND grade, so the recent form is not strong. The better point is that she has placed once from five starts at this track and distance, which keeps her in the mix for a minor cheque rather than marking her as a clear winning threat.

Was close enough to make some impact last start at this track but found nothing and dropped out to finish tenth, beaten over 20 lengths by Sun Subliminal. That followed a second-last in COND grade when sent out favourite, which makes the form particularly hard to trust. He is unplaced in ten starts overall and has yet to place in eight tries around 1500m, so others have stronger claims.

Led when third in C3 company here two starts back, beaten two and a half lengths by Take The Throne, and that remains one of the better recent pieces of form in her profile. She was then near the top of an open market last start but was swamped after holding a narrow lead and finished eighth, beaten over 11 lengths. With Seigo Tsukamoto back aboard, she can give a sight and has sound place claims.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing 11th in a Mdn over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt, where she led narrowly before being swamped and beaten over 14 lengths. Her previous Kokura Dirt sixth over 1000m was more competitive, sitting handy before battling on to be beaten five and a half lengths. She has one unplaced run around 1500m, but this fresh C2 assignment is within reach if she brings that earlier speed across.

Returns from a six-month break after a debut to forget at Kyoto Dirt, where he conceded a huge start, was never in the race and finished second last, beaten out of sight. That single run gives little race evidence, but he is a half brother to Group 1 winner Peptide Nile and now gets Junki Mochizuki, one of the leading riders at this track. He still has to prove himself at 1500m, though the upside is greater than many here.

Finished last at this track most recently, well held after leading, and her Kawasaki run before that was a heavy defeat after she dropped out sharply. She is now unplaced in all three starts and has yet to place at this distance or this venue. The T Tsunoda stable has a strong track profile, but her own form has to rise a long way before she can be considered a serious threat.

Returns from a three-month break as the top pick despite ending last campaign with an 11th over 2400m at Niigata, beaten over 15 lengths after weakening out of it. The stronger guide is her Hakodate ninth two starts back, where she picked up nicely in the straight and was beaten just over two lengths in Mdn grade. A ¥209m purchase and top-rated over the last 12 months, she finds the right race to make a winning return.

Has finished sixth at his past two starts at this track, most recently beaten just over six lengths by Hakusan Ring in COND grade after being handy enough but unable to finish off. The prior run had a similar shape, though he did keep coming when never a winning hope. One placing from five starts at this track and distance is useful enough, and he profiles as a genuine place chance if he can find another length late.

Was never in the race at this track last start, finishing last and beaten over 15 lengths after conceding a huge start. The Kawasaki run prior was also poor, beaten a long way by Mitono Teio after being unwanted in the market. He has just one placing from 14 starts and only one placing from 14 tries around 1500m, so a dramatic turnaround is required to trouble these.

Has been beaten over 18 lengths and over 11 lengths in her past two starts at this track, each time offering little late after being unwanted in the market. Her long-term record is the key concern: no wins from 36 starts overall, with only two placings from 17 attempts at this track and distance. The distance rating is some consolation, but she will have to finish off much better to be a factor.
