Nagoya Race 11

1500

Stake: $62,856

CAL BAY CRUISE (4) Was dominant when winning by 4L last run here. Jockey Junki Mochizuki and trainer Sakaguchi Yoshiyuki must be respected as a team. Very competitive this campaign. Appears as a winning threat. CASH BLITZ (5) Finished 5th last run at the track. Expecting improvement. Tatsuya Watanabe takes the reins today. Sure to be thereabouts. EVER SINCE (3) Came in 6th last start at Kasamatsu. Is capable of a resurgence. Looking sharp on the track this campaign. Teruya Tsunoda stable are on fire recently. Looks to have a good chance of placing. JUN FIRENZE (1) In the money when 2nd last run here and has drawn to do little work. Will be positive in the run early. Getting better in recent performances. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Last start 6th of 12 at Kasamatsu on June 25 over 1400m, 8 len behind Chuwa Spring with 55kg at $2.40. The start before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on June 5 over 2000m, 2.5 len behind Meisho Taisetsu with 54kg at $42.40. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Recent form sound. Most recently ran on from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at this track July 1 over 1400m defeating Balearic Sea with 57kg at $4.20. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on June 17 over 1400m, head behind Wetterhorn with 57kg at $1.80. Can get the job done again.
