NAGOYA   23 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

Race 10 1700m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Real American, Silver Bridge and Nihonpiro Del Mar leading the way. SILVER BRIDGE (3) showed good pace and went on to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. MASAHAYA VOSS (11) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1400m here two weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can go back-to-back. GRIMALDI (1) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by one length over 1400m at this circuit. Fitter for that last hitout and looks a big threat to the top selections. ANYA AZAZAMASU (9) improved sharply last time out to score by 6 lengths over 1400m at this course two-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely to be there at the finish again.
