Tokyo City Keiba Race 11 - Tokyo Hai

SHAMAL (10) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1400m at Urawa. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. KUROJISHI JOE (11) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when first-up last start over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Should tighten right up following that outing. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. CHIKAPPA (6) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2 lengths over 1200m at Monbetsu. Has a liking for this trip and he is a major player again. IGNITER (13) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Urawa over 1400m on June 19. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Not to be discounted.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start favourite; won by 1.3 len at this track September 11 over 1200m defeating Max with 57kg at $3. The run before that favourite; scored a big 6 len win at Funabashi July 18 over 1000m defeating Suave Charles with 56kg at $3.30. Draws the fence and looks a genuine chance.

Grade 3 placegetter. Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign fourth of 14 at this track April 10 over 1200m, 5 len behind Justin carrying 56kg at $16.30. First up last campaign fourth of 16 at Tokyo Dirt in the G3 Negishi Stakes January 28 over 1400m, 4 len behind Emperor Wakea carrying 57.0kg at $31.10. Should be right in the mix.

Last start 11th of 13 at this track on September 11 over 1200m, 13 len behind Entelecheia with 56kg at $25.30. Before that second last of 14 at Kawasaki on August 7 over 1600m, 18 len behind Fauvisme with 56kg at $166.60. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
