Tokyo City Keiba Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
LEIBNIZ (5) sets the standard after being sent out an odds-on favourite on debut at Ohi and finishing third, beaten just over two lengths after being run down late. He has the early speed to make his own luck and looks the most reliable winning profile. JUST CALL (6) also placed on debut, but he was beaten six and a half lengths after only battling on, so he needs to sharpen up to turn the tables on the stronger form. TOKEN GOTT (2) was favourite on debut over 1200m and finished fourth, with the rise to 1400m the main question after settling rearward. POCKET BLUE (4) has race fitness and can roll forward, though his latest fifth came after being unwanted in betting. TOWER CONCERT (8) has the light weight and early pace, but a ten-length defeat as favourite leaves him with ground to make up.

Was in the firing line at Ohi last start but weakened to finish second last behind Pod Madeira, beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds. Her debut fourth behind Carrera Luce offered little depth, as she was never competitive and was beaten out of sight. Third-up fitness and a class drop help, but she must find a much stronger finish to trouble these.

Returns after five weeks following a debut fourth at Ohi over 1200m, where he was sent out favourite but settled rearward and was beaten just under five lengths by Daiwa Curren City. The market respect is a positive pointer and barrier 2 should give him options, but he now has to stretch to 1400m. With that query, he profiles as a genuine place hope rather than a clear win play.

Improved into third at Ohi last start behind Will On The Move, but the margin was still seven lengths after he could not quite finish it off. That was a step forward from being last and beaten over 17 lengths behind Go Pal, when unwanted in the market and unable to challenge. His distance placing is some encouragement, but the winning case remains thin.

Took a step forward when fifth at Ohi last start, beaten just over four lengths behind Pod Madeira after settling handy despite being unwanted in the market. His debut third behind Carrera Luce was a distant placing, but he has at least shown he can hold a position at this track and distance. Likely to be prominent again, and that gives him a solid platform if he finds another length.

Placed on debut at Ohi over 1400m, finishing third behind La Vague after being run down late and beaten just over two lengths. He was sent out an odds-on favourite, so there was expectation attached to that performance, and the run still reads well for a lightly raced colt. His pace should let him take up a forward role again, making him the runner the others have to get past.

Placed at his first start at Ohi, running third behind Sakaben Speed after being near the top of betting, but he was beaten six and a half lengths and only battled on. That leaves improvement to find, though he should be able to race handy again and has race experience on his side. A repeat keeps him competitive for a placing, while a sharper finish is needed to win.

Settled rearward on debut at Ohi and finished fourth behind Sakaben Speed, beaten seven lengths in a small field after being unwanted in the market. He may take benefit from that first race experience, but the evidence is still plain and he remains unplaced at this track and distance. Needs to come on quickly to bridge the gap.

Had every chance when third behind Rovaniemi over 1200m at Ohi last start, travelling close enough to strike before tiring and being beaten ten lengths as favourite. His debut seventh behind Purple Fog was a distant last, so there is still a sizeable query despite the light weight. The rise to 1400m asks another question unless he settles better in front.
