Nagoya

SOUND JACKAL (4) Finished 5th last run at this track. Happy to overlook that run and have to respect the form at the trip. Will be trying to topple them late. Serious player. ROYAL IBUKI (1) Back from a spell. Ran well when 3rd last run at Sonoda and back to a rise in trip. Should come to hand quickly. Drawn well. Among better hopes. PIKO BLUE (9) Was competitive when 2nd last run here. Always seems to find the line well. Up to these. BIG BETTER (3) Strong performance to win by 1 1/2L last run at the track. Has plenty of early speed. Has to be included.
