Nagoya

MIKANO VENUS (1) Right up there last run at the track and proven performer at this distance in the past. Has not missed the money this preparation in 4 attempts. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. SEMBI TORYO (6) Competitive effort when 2nd last start here and hard to fault at the trip. Racing consistently this campaign. Shoutarou Tomomori is very comfortable aboard. Possesses very good finishing speed. Should go close. CORIN FUGA (2) Ran away with a win by 3L last run at this venue and has a good draw. Made it 2 wins in a row. Among better hopes. MARUTOKU LAUREL (4) Below par when 8th last time at this track and back to a shorter distance. Displays good tactical speed. Will benefit with the weight drop. Could sneak a place.
