NAGOYA   16 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Heavenly Sky and Win Madeira leading from Bella Centaurus. HEAVENLY SKY (6) sets the standard through consistency at Nagoya, with a win over Anfar two starts ago and a sound third to Little Lily last time when run down late. Her track-and-distance record gives her the most reliable profile, even with the distance query noted. ANFAR (8) is the immediate danger after working home over the top to beat Meiner Slava by a neck here, and she meets this with the lightest weight among the main chances, though she still has that recent defeat to Heavenly Sky to turn around. WIN MADEIRA (5) brings the strongest winning habit, having put two Nagoya victories together, including a sharp 920m success from Yuino Resistance, and his record with Hiroshi Ohara is a clear plus. BELLA CENTAURUS (4) was plain when fourth to Ardent Eye, but his previous win from Teleos Hina and solid track-and-trip figures keep him in the mix for the multiples.

Nobuaki Kazahaya
Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing ninth in a 3yo Maiden over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt, beaten eight and a half lengths by Literacy when unwanted in the market. The prior fifth to Yamame Ikka was also only fair, beaten six lengths at the same venue. Dropping back to 1500m is a query and the maiden record of one placing from 16 starts leaves him with a sizeable task.

Koichi Miyamoto
Returns from a three-month break with recent race form that needs lifting. He was tenth in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Kokura, beaten just over five lengths by Levi at long odds, after finishing 14th to Bice Mare at Hanshin when unwanted in the market. The rise to 1500m adds another question, and he has yet to place in six starts.

Seiho Tanaka
Returns from a four-month break after one race start, a 12th in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt where Curlicue beat him by over 11 lengths. He had many lengths to make up there and never looked likely, so the exposed form is thin. The class drop and booking of Junki Mochizuki give him some place interest, but the extra distance must bring improvement.

Kenji Tada
Worked home satisfactorily when fourth at Nagoya last start, though the margin behind Ardent Eye was nine and a half lengths and he started only an outside chance in betting. His previous win here was stronger, beating Teleos Hina by a length and a half as favourite after tracking the speed. Proven at the track and trip, he profiles as a sound place hope rather than the top pick.

Win Co. Ltd.
Arrives in winning form after scoring over 920m at Nagoya, beating Yuino Resistance by just under a length when near the top of betting. He had also won here the start before, driving hard late to beat Velocia by a head in an open market. The rise to this trip is marked as a positive, and his two wins from three rides with Hiroshi Ohara make him a serious threat again.

Held her form when third at Nagoya last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Little Lily after being run down late at generous odds. That followed a length-and-a-half win here over Anfar, where she kicked clear and kept the runner-up safely at bay. With one win and four places from seven track-and-distance attempts, she brings the most dependable profile if the trip holds no hidden concern.

Toshio Terada
Returns from a two-month freshening after a better effort at Chukyo, finishing seventh in a 3yo Maiden and beaten four and a half lengths by Arabian Joy at big odds. The run prior at Kokura was much weaker, beaten over 11 lengths by Supreme Realm over 1800m after giving away a big start. Class relief gives her some minor-money appeal, but the maiden profile still tempers confidence.

Cosmo View Farm Co. Ltd.
Came through strongly to win at Nagoya last start, beating Meiner Slava by a neck when an outside chance in the betting. Before that she chased home Heavenly Sky at this track, beaten a length and a half after finishing strongly, so the head-to-head line is relevant. She carries 52kg again and has proven track-and-distance form, making her a genuine winning danger if she bridges that gap.

SHINICHI IDEUE
3YO  BAY  COLT 57.0KG

Has been unable to make an impact at Kawasaki, finishing ninth to G Campione last start after settling rearward and offering little late. That followed a seventh to Erin Flame when beaten over 14 lengths at big odds, so there is no obvious last-run excuse to lean on. He has placed four times from 14 starts, including twice at the distance, but a win still looks a stretch.

Tatsuhiko Kawashita
Returns from a three-month break after finishing last on debut in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Fukushima, beaten a long way by Shine For Me at long odds. She settled rearward there and the result gives little solid form to recommend. The move to 1500m is a genuine query, so she needs to show a much sharper race-day response before being considered a major player.

Returns from a two-month freshening for her second run this campaign after finishing 14th in a 3yo Maiden over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten over 20 lengths by Techno Peach at long odds. Her previous seventh to Mille Bonheurs at Kyoto Dirt was also heavy defeat, beaten over 19 lengths. The class drop is noted, but the recent margins make others far more persuasive.
