Tokyo Race 9

Akamatsu Sho

Prize Money: $211,805

RAVENEAU (7) was strongly bet and led throughout for an impressive debut win before being put away again. Has big upside and expected to go close again. POPPET (2) travelled in a rearwards position then made some inroads and finished 1.75 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at Kyoto three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time and comes back in class. Backmarker who gets home hard and will prove hard to hold out. PURPLE GARNET (5) closed last prep 12 weeks ago when she finished fifth over 1400m at Chukyo. Has won fresh and resumes in easier grade. Bold showing is expected. HIS MASTERPIECE (3) comes here following a win over 1600m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Has good early speed and will give a sight again.

Resuming after a break; only one run when won by a neck at Nakayama September 13 over 1600m defeating Sincerite carrying 55.0kg at $3.40. Impressive all the way win on debut. Expect she will go well.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Most recently second last of 10 at this track in the G3 Artemis Stakes on October 25 over 1600m, 6 len behind Firostefani with 55.0kg at $47.20. The race before that 8th of 10 at Niigata in the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes on August 24 over 1600m, 10 len behind Realize Sirius carrying 55.0kg at $9.20. Shouldn't trouble the top few.
