NAGOYA   08 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Race 11 2100m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Fuku Pygmalion, Another Truth and Mad Roulette the ones to roll forward. FUKU PYGMALION (12) has a superb record with 12 wins and 5 placings from his 21 starts, won at this track over 2000m last time out. His class should see him go close. MAD ROULETTE (10) has notched up two wins from three starts at Nagoya, expected to run well again. RADICAL BAROWS (8) has never been out of the money when resuming and looks primed for his fresh run. Expected to run well. FRESCOBALDI (3) and MELT (2) also deserve serious consideration on best efforts and shouldn't be dismissed easily. Any market support should be respected.
