1800m – Turf
Fidelio Green | Moving up in class after surprise win following poor showings in previous 7 starts. Back after 2 months off. Looking bit heavy still in work. Not promising. |
Gullfaxi | Mare has done poorly in three starts since moving to this class after win over 1800m. Could improve if calm. First time racing to right. Likely not a contender. |
Human Comedy | Filly raced primarily over 2000m and up with 11-5 since moving to this class. Showed promise last out on 5 September. Will have weight advantage at only 115lbs. Could surprise. |
Kitano Impact | Raced primarily at 2000m with only 2 of 10 starts out of the money. Has two seconds at this distance. Untested over heavier ground. Proven at Nakayama. First start since early August but looking good in work. Highly competitive. |
Meiner Solace | Gold Ship colt raced primarily over 2000m returning from 10-month spell. Posted 5-5-5 at end 2020 at this level. Looks to be in good condition. Good surprise with right trip. |
Narino Montagne | Class colt coming off a win over Nakayama 2000m on 18 September. Has made board in all 7 starts this year, with 4 in money. Can run on any going, from any position. Good late speed. Promising. |
R Baron | Maurice colt has 2 wins over Nakayama 1800m, including last out on 11 September. Excellent speed. Maintaining condition. Assigned weight 2lbs less than lightest to date. Promising. |
Red Kugel | Raced in 2000-2500m range this year for 6-6-7-5. One gear but persistent. Heavy last out after 3 months off. Improvement expected. Could make money. |
Stella d’Oro | Orfevre filly has made board in 4 of 6 starts this year, all in 1800-2000m range. Finished 3.8 lengths off winner over Nakayama 1800m on 12 September, following 4-month spell. Improvement likely. Worth a wager. |
Suzukano Rosso | Has posted 1-3-8 this year in 1800-2000m range. Chronically late at break but versatile if quickly away. Good late speed. Has chance. |
Ushba Tesoro | Big Orfevre colt raced predominately at 2000m and up is 2-3-1 this year. Races from far off pace and has yet to win at Nakayama in 7 bids. Looking average in work. Drop in distance not a help. |
Variamente | Colt with only 5 career starts and only one finish out of money is racing for first time in 3 months. Finished very close third last out, over Hanshin 1800m at this level. Competitive but power a bit lacking in trackwork. Room for doubt. |
