Nagoya

GONCOURT (10) Was first to greet the judge when winning by 1L last time here. Jockey Souichi Katou and trainer Tsuyoshi Kawanishi have a high strike rate together. Very competitive this preparation. Serious player. LIVERSPINA (9) Just shy of the win last time at the track but will be dropping in distance. Producing consistent results since returning from a spell. Will be around the mark at odds. DIPUTAR AZUL (1) Did a good job when winning by 1 1/2L last run around here and has drawn the rails. Has a great burst of speed late. Showing improvement in recent outings. Will be there at the finish. ECCLESIA (5) Unimpressive effort when 7th last time at this track. Possesses very good finishing speed. Sound chances.
