Nagoya Race 10 - Race 10 - 2000

STAPES SHOMA (4) Came in 6th last time around here. Giving another chance here and racing over more ground. Always seems to find the line well. Jockey Junki Mochizuki has been successful before. Strong performance expected. TANABATA (2) Came in 4th last start here. Can show a better performance this time and will try to take advantage of the draw. Displays good tactical speed. Hard to dismiss. SWITCHBLADE (5) Placed 2nd last run at this venue and coming back up in distance. Should jump out and bowl along. Takahiro Imai has multiple wins aboard. Capable of getting into the money. AL FAHIDI (1) Ran 4th last run at the track but has the ideal draw. Place hopes not out of reach.

Worked home only fairly when fourth at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths by Al Barsha after starting at long odds. That followed an A1 eighth here behind Box Office when never in the picture, so his recent form is only moderate. The return to a proven 2000m setup is the appeal, with two wins from three starts at this track and distance, and weight relief gives him a rough each-way case.

Put in another honest effort when fourth in an A2 at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths by Ripley in an open market. He had earlier run second at Kasamatsu over 1580m, holding a minor prize behind Windmuhle after being near the top of betting. The class drop helps and his recent 12-month record is sound, though the 2000m profile keeps him more in the place lane than as a standout winner.

Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing ninth in an A1 at this track, beaten over 12 lengths behind Box Office and unwanted in the market. The start prior was also plain, last over 1500m after being gone soon after straightening. A class drop is some assistance, but he has been unplaced in four starts at this venue and must produce a much sharper finish to be competitive.

Was below his best as favourite last start, finishing sixth in an A3 at this track and beaten just over eight lengths by Line Of Soul without offering a clear excuse. The run prior is the counterpoint, driving hard late to beat Le Terrible over 1700m as a short odds-on favourite. He has four wins and one placing from six starts at this venue, but the first attempt around 2000m makes him a place chance with a query.

Resumed with a strong second at this track, finishing off well to get within two lengths of Line Of Soul over 1500m at generous odds. He is now second-up, returns to a trip where he owns three wins and two placings from eight starts at this track and distance, and Takahiro Imai has an excellent record aboard him. With that proven 2000m base and solid recent profile, he sets the standard.

Finished last in an A1 at this track most recently, beaten over 15 lengths by Whitby Abbey after settling handy and fading a long way from home. His previous third behind Al Barsha over 1700m was more respectable, beaten just under five lengths, and he has three wins and five places from 16 starts at this venue. The class drop and leading jockey help, but the 2000m record leaves him as an outside place hope.
