Nagoya

UP SHOGUN (6) Blitzed its rivals when winning by 4L last time around here and strong performer at this distance in the past. Has early speed and positions nicely. One of the major hopes. LA LA EFFORT (10) Ran 4th last start at the track. Happy to forgive that run. Jockey Tatsuya Watanabe is a strong choice aboard. Imazu Hiroyuki stable are running hot lately. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. RADICAL BAROWS (8) Finished 4th last start at this track. Takahiro Imai rates highly. Teruya Tsunoda stable are in good form of late. Looks promising in this race. SWITCHBLADE (3) Unsatisfactory performance when 7th last start at the track. Should race on the speed. In good order this preparation. Could run into the money.
