Nagoya Race 3 - Race 3 - 1500
Limited winning credentials on show. AOZORA LUNCH (9) brings the most recent solid run, finishing 11th of 18 over 1800m at Niigata on 23 Aug, beaten 6L after settling back, and now drops 300m which could suit. NEO AMBO (3) is third up and returns to 1500m where he has raced before, with a recent 1400m Niigata run on 30 Aug; soft draw helps. First-up ACT SURGE (1) resumes off 6 months with a 700m drop from a tough 2200m Nakayama run and draws barrier 1. GOLD AVENUE (11) has been racing at 2000–2200m, including 9th of 18 at Chukyo over 2200m on 16 Aug beaten 8.9L at 52kg, and also cuts back 700m.

Resumes first-up from a 6‑month break and draws the inside gate, with 55kg after carrying 57kg last time. His sole run was a 13th of 13 over 2200m at Nakayama on 21 Mar (SP 251) when beaten 38.35L by Edel Seele, and he drops 700m in trip today. Needs to show improvement with the freshen and setup changes.

Third-up and drawn well in barrier 2, she tackles a 300m rise in trip after struggling over 1200m at Chukyo on 15 Aug (14th/16, 21.4L, SP 251) and Kokura on 19 Jul (18th/18, 14.04L, SP 301). Carries 55kg today after 52kg last time; needs to show more but the gate and extra ground give her a different setup.

Third-up and back to 1500m, he draws barrier 3 after racing wide from 12 at Niigata over 1400m on 30 Aug when 17th of 18, beaten 8.53L by Suteki Surprise at $101. His best recent placing came over this trip at Kanazawa in March when 6th of 10 from a low draw, and today’s gate should afford a softer run. A cleaner getaway from a favourable barrier can help him hold position and improve on latest efforts.

Third-up and dropping 700m after finishing 17th of 18 over 2200m at Niigata on 29 Aug (57kg, SP 301), racing back in the field throughout and beaten 21.66L by Yamame Hope. He also finished 17th of 18 over 1600m at Niigata on 22 Aug (57kg, SP 126), weakening late. A softer draw in barrier 4 and the sharp distance reduction offer a different setup as he seeks to improve.

Third-up and dropping 300m after finishing 17th of 18 at Niigata over 1800m on 23 Aug, beaten 13.3L at $31 after racing handy before fading. Prior run was 15th of 16 at Tokyo over 1600m, beaten 11.4L at $41. A better barrier today (5) gives her a softer run, and the shorter trip could help her settle and finish off.

Fourth-up and back 300m to 1500m, she carries 55kg from barrier 6 after finishing 14th of 15 over 1800m at Chukyo on 30 Aug (SP 67), where she raced handy before fading 42.36L behind Akino Beauty. Her prior Sapporo 1500m run saw her 10th of 14, beaten 11.16L (SP 91). Needs to lift, but the drop in trip and a slight barrier improvement offer a more suitable setup.

On a short turnaround after finishing 13th of 16 at Nakayama over 1200m on 6 Sep, beaten 8.97L on a sloppy track at $301, and now drops 2kg to 55kg. Prior runs at 1150m (Fukushima, 11th/16, 7.75L) and 1400m suggest today’s 300m rise in trip could help. Barrier 8 is a slight improvement from last start, and the rider change to Aoi Kinomae offers a fresh look.

Fourth-up and back 300m, she returns to 1800m from barrier 9 with 55kg after two Niigata runs where she settled back and finished 12th and 11th at big odds (SP 201 and 101), beaten 6.07L and 6L. The setup is similar to those efforts, so she’ll need to lift to feature.

Prior Tokyo 1300m effort saw him 14th of 15, 19.2L off Legende at SP 301. Needs to lift but the drop in trip and new rider Keigo Oohata offer a different setup.

Earlier this prep he was 10th of 12 at Kasamatsu over 1400m on firm, and he again draws wide in barrier 12. Needs to lift on recent figures but the set-up tweaks offer some hope for improvement.
