Tokyo City Keiba Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
POLYLOOP (7) Finished 4th last run at this track. Can make a comeback. Rates well in this race. KAZUNO MARIA (5) Came in 4th last time at this venue. Looking for an improved run. Going well this campaign. In the mix. BLACK RED (8) Was all too good winning by 1L last time at this track. Undefeated last 2 runs. Can go on with it. MIDDLEMAN (3) First up and nice run when 2nd first up last preparation at this track. Honest enough to be an each way player.

Returns from a lengthy spell of over a year after finishing tenth in a Mdn at Chukyo Dirt, beaten just over nine lengths, when he had plenty to do and never looked likely. His previous run at Kokura Dirt was similar, with only a fair finish. The first try around 1400m is another unknown, but the inside draw and strong local rider-trainer profile give him some place appeal if he has come back in better order.

Recent form is hard to recommend after two heavy defeats at this venue, most recently tenth behind Iron Bible over 1600m when gone soon after the turn and beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. She was also last over 1200m behind Kreisler. Her 1400m record is sound, but the current level of performance leaves her with a lot to turn around.

Resumes after a five-month break following a second-last finish in a COND at this track, beaten over 15 lengths after dropping out from a position close enough to compete. He had also been well held the run prior behind Not Border. The saving point is two placings from three at this track and distance, but his latest race form has to improve sharply.

Has edged forward this campaign, finishing fifth behind Iron Bible at this venue last start after leading and being beaten six lengths. That was an improvement on her seventh behind Yasur, where she settled rearward and was beaten over 13 lengths. She is still unplaced from six runs in the past 12 months, so another step forward is required.

Comes off a sound fourth behind G T Urara at this track, beaten two lengths as a well-supported favourite after not quite finishing it off over 1200m. She had won a C3 here the run prior, beating Hana Hiraku by a neck at prohibitive odds-on. The return to 1400m is well supported by her record at the trip, and her track and jockey statistics keep her right among the key winning chances.

Has stronger claims than the recent form line first suggests, with his latest seventh behind Proud Mary at this track only a just-under-seven-length defeat in a race where he was unwanted in the market. He was also not disgraced behind Kreisler two back, working home honestly without threatening. With race fitness, a higher-class win on the CV and extensive 1400m grounding, he profiles as the runner to beat.

Returns to a more suitable 1400m after finishing fourth behind Iron Bible over 1600m, beaten just over four lengths when unable to quicken. He had been a beaten odds-on favourite in COND grade the start prior, so the wining edge has been missing lately. Still, he is a track-and-trip winner and gets his winning rider back, which gives him realistic place claims.

Arrives in the right form after consecutive C3 wins at this venue, most recently beating Lavatera Jane by a length when near the top of betting and strong through the line. His prior win over Marukan Presto came at big odds, so the improvement has been sustained. Two wins from three starts at this track and distance make him a very credible threat again.

Was safely held behind Iron Bible at this track last start, finishing ninth and beaten over 11 lengths after failing to make headway from a difficult position. The run prior was also well short of winning standard behind Bell Wood Moa. She has placed once from five tries at this track and distance, but the recent margins make this a tough assignment.
