Tokyo Race 8

Hyakunichiso Tokubetsu

Prize Money: $211,210

FORTE ANGELO (2) settled back before coming home strongly to score as favourite on debut over 1800m at Nakayama eight weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. GAROFANO (1) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1800m at Niigata nine weeks ago and has not appeared since. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. ELLIPTIC CURVE (5) was also a debut winner, scoring over 1800m at Sapporo. Has upside and is among the chances again. AKKAN (3) got off the mark over 2000m at Sapporo last start, scoring by one length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Harder task ahead this time but fit and will take catching.

Freshened since claiming his maiden victory on debut; favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Nakayama September 7 over 1800m defeating Solennellement carrying 55.0kg at $1.80. Ran on hard to score on debut. Drawn perfectly and he is a top chance again.

Comments

Returns from a 56-day let-up. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at Sapporo September 7 over 2000m defeating Cosmo Nahema with 55.0kg at $2.80. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Sapporo on August 30 over 1800m, neck behind Noche Cerrada carrying 55.0kg at $1.80. Few opponents and can feature with the right run.

Raced twice to date. At long odds at debut, came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Niigata August 24 over 2000m defeating Cantina carrying 55.0kg at $34.50. Last start 7th of 9 at Nakayama on September 27 over 2000m, 9 len behind Winners Nine carrying 55.0kg at $70.40. Looks one of the also-rans.

Resuming after a break; only one run when ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Sapporo August 31 over 1800m defeating Nettaiya Rai with 55.0kg at $4.20. Strong win on debut then put away again. Sure to be thereabouts.
