Nagoya

SHIMOGURI (1) Placed 2nd last start at the track and drawn beautifully. Should muster plenty of early toe. Jockey Takahiro Imai and trainer Tsuyoshi Kawanishi have enjoyed a lot of success together. Gets a chance to win. ANGEL NUMBER (5) Got the upper hand late when winning by a head last time at the track. Made it 3 wins on the bounce. Added confidence with Masaaki Oohata doing the steering. Up to these. Z THUNDER (4) Came in 4th last time at this track. Likely to bounce back and strong performer at this distance in the past. Worth a ticket. MEISHO HANZO (2) Racing fresh after a break. Finished 6th last start at Sonoda. Giving another chance here and drawn nicely. First start for a new trainer. Worth strong consideration.
