NAGOYA   23 May 2025
 
GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Sky Tailor should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. HUIT MOULINS (11) finished seventh at his last appearance over 1500m at this track on May 9. Gets his chance to break the ice. TAGANO BEGINNING (10) has switched yards since finishing eighth two months ago over 2400m at Hanshin. Worth serious consideration. SKY TAILOR (7) is a 12-start maiden who finished fifth after being in contention on the corner at her most recent outing over 920m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time out in trip. ROMAN TEA (5) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, finishing tenth. No surprise to see her in the mix in this suitable assignment.
