Nagoya Race 10 - Race 10 - 1500
PIKO BLUE (9) was well beaten in harder company two back then better placed last time and finished in the money when a 4 length second over 1500m. Tackles similar class here and rates highly on best. Expected to go close. BIG BETTER (3) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 1500m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ROYAL IBUKI (1) started favourite at the last run before a break but could only manage third at Sonoda. Expect he has come on over the break. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. SOUND JACKAL (4) finished 8 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out over 2000m at this track on January 27. Has a strong record here at this journey with seven wins from 13 runs. Not to be discounted.
