Tokyo City Keiba Race 3

1600

Prize Money: $59,049

TARGA FLORIO (6) Competitive effort when 2nd last time here. More confidence with jockey Norifumi Mikamoto guiding the horse. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Expect a solid run. RUBY POSEIDON (2) Narrowly denied a win last run at this track and was a debutant last start. Will be pushing for a forward position early. No shock to see a win. CASTOR (3) Placed 3rd last time at Monbetsu. Coming to a new trainer. Gets back and needs luck. Can make a claim. CHATORAN (5) In the money when 3rd last start here on a heavy track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Will be positive in the run early. Not out of this.

Comments

Closed late for second at this track over 1400m, beaten three and a half lengths by Token Gott at long odds, which was a clear lift from her second-last to Pod Madeira when she dropped out. Wada Joji stays with her after placing aboard, but 1600m is untried and she still has to produce a new peak to trouble the stronger chances.

Comments

Led on debut at this track and was only nailed late by Shonan Harbor, finishing second and beaten a head after being near the top of an open market. That gives him a clean platform second-up, and barrier two should let him use that early speed again. With natural improvement from the first race-day experience, he has the right profile to be prominent again.

Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening after working home evenly for third at Mombetsu, beaten just under four lengths by River Luminous at big odds. Her record around 1600m is sound, with one win and two placings from five attempts, and the class-drop tag adds appeal. The change of setting from Mombetsu is the qualifier, but her overall record keeps her in the place mix.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Failed to finish at this track last start when at generous odds, leaving a plain recent profile. The start prior produced a third, but he was never competitive and beaten out of sight behind Keten Passion, with Targa Florio also ahead of him. A return to the placings would require a far sharper effort than his latest evidence suggests.

Comments

Kept grinding away for third at this track over 1400m last start, beaten just over four lengths by Yamano Shingeki, after a fourth to Pod Madeira when unwanted in the market. She has placed twice from four starts and carries just 51kg again, but 1600m is new territory. Minor claims are there if the extra ground proves within reach.

Comments

Returns off a five-week freshening with two seconds from as many starts at this venue, most recently beaten half a length by Keten Passion when a prohibitive odds-on favourite. That miss at short odds is a small mark against him, but he fought hard through the line and had also chased home Realize Orion on debut. Third-up, race fit and already placed at 1600m, he sets the standard and looks ready to convert.
