Nagoya Race 4 - Race 4 - 1500
PHILIA ASTI (3) Subpar when 10th last start at this track. Should improve from the last run and promising career start. Shows good early pace. Been in the money multiple times this campaign. Cannot underestimate. LUNA PLENA (4) Showed promise when winning by 2L last run around here and rising in trip. Can have an impact. CO'S SHACHIHOKO (2) Finished 8th last start at this track but has a good draw. Rates an each way chance. PINCH (1) Ran 5th last time at this track but can save some energy from the draw. Will be giving the leaders a big start. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope.

Worked home into fifth at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Dream Of Koji after settling rearward and starting unwanted in the market. That was a clear improvement on her second-last behind New Harpy, but she is still unplaced from three starts at this track and distance. Barrier one and a strong local jockey-trainer pairing help, so she profiles as a place hope rather than a dominant winning chance.

Opened her career with a neat 900m win at this track, beating Hysteria by a length and a half after pressing forward and giving nothing else a chance. The concern is the sharp backward step last start, when eighth behind New Harpy and beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. Back third-up with the winning rider aboard, she has talent, but has to rebound strongly to be more than an each-way chance.

Was dominant over 920m at this track two runs back, winning by four lengths as an odds-on favourite and beating Be Gifted, with Luna Plena behind her in that race. Last start was a different story, leading narrowly before being swamped and beaten over 17 lengths by Dream Of Koji. Her short-course win keeps her in the mix, but she has to prove that form transfers to 1500m.

Comes off a well-supported win at this track, scoring over 920m by two lengths from Brightia Bunny after travelling just off the lead and finishing strongly. That was a clear step up from her fifth to Philia Asti, and she now carries only 52kg. The new 1500m trip is the query, but she is lightly raced, race fit and brings the cleanest last-start winning form among the main chances.

Has a track-and-distance win on the board, which is the clear positive, but her current form reads poorly. She was second last behind New Harpy last start, beaten over 17 lengths at big odds after never getting into the race, and had also been second last behind Second Nuts at her previous run. Weight relief helps, but recent efforts say she must produce a much sharper finish.

Put herself in the conversation two starts ago when second to Dream Of Koji at this track, beaten a length and a half after being run down late. She then dropped right out last start, finishing last behind New Harpy and beaten over 19 lengths when unwanted in the market. She has placed at this distance and gets weight relief, but the latest run leaves her as a conditional minor hope.

Closed off fairly after conceding a big start when seventh behind Second Nuts at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths at big odds. His previous sixth to Megrez was plain, but the broader profile is more solid than the form figures look, with three placings from seven starts overall and two placings from five at this track and distance. The winless record is the reservation, though his 1500m grounding gives him the strongest platform here.

Finished fourth behind Dream Of Koji last start, beaten nine lengths after being in contention and sticking on soundly enough. That followed a second to Double Hold, albeit seven lengths away and unwanted in betting, so her recent form has more substance than several rivals. She has one placing from four at this track and distance, and that keeps her a genuine place hope without making her a standout win play.
