Tokyo City Keiba Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
SEAMAN HOPE (3) sets the standard after leading on debut at Ohi and finishing third, beaten two lengths by Batchiri. She has already shown she can run 1200m here and should be prominent again. LUNA BELLEZZA (5) brings the most race experience and was only beaten two and a half lengths as favourite at Mombetsu, though the rise from 1000m is the main query. SELLER BEANS (8) resumes after three months with two placings from four starts and enough Mombetsu form to be competitive if ready. A BOY (2) was third on debut at Ohi and maps to get a soft on-pace run, while BABY PARTY (4) had market respect first-up over 1400m and may be suited if the leaders overdo it. With SEAMAN HOPE and SELLER BEANS likely to press forward and other speed engaged, the race should be run honestly.

Worked home from an impossible position when fourth at Ohi last start, but the margin still reads beaten over 11 lengths behind Rovaniemi and she was sent around at big odds. The start prior was weaker again, fifth and beaten over 18 lengths after settling rearward. She is now fourth-up and has some race fitness, yet an unplaced record from three goes at this track and distance leaves her with a sizeable task.

Placed on debut at Ohi when third over 1200m, beaten six and a half lengths by O Shin Sora at generous odds. He was close enough in the run if good enough and battled into the minor money rather than quickening sharply, but the inside draw should again allow him to race handy. With natural second-up improvement, he profiles as a realistic place chance rather than a runner to take on trust for the win.

Led on debut at Ohi and was only run down late, finishing third over 1200m and beaten two lengths by Batchiri. That is a clean starting point for a two-year-old, particularly with the same course-and-distance conditions in play and the early speed to make her own luck. She has already placed at both the track and trip, and with normal improvement from that first outing she looks the runner the rest have to catch.

Had market respect on debut at Ohi when fourth over 1400m, beaten just over seven lengths by La Vague after looming up but not going on with it. That gives her some upside, although coming back to 1200m is a genuine question and she may need the race run to suit from off the pace. There was enough in that first run to keep her in the winning mix, provided she sharpens late.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fourth over 1000m at Mombetsu, beaten two and a half lengths by Wilfred when sent out favourite. She had placed the start prior over the same venue, beaten three and a half lengths by Conti Watchi, so the recent form is solid without being decisive. The light 51kg helps, but the rise to 1200m must be answered before she breaks through.

Led on debut at Ohi but was never competitive and was beaten out of sight behind Batchiri despite being near the top of an open market. That same race has Seaman Hope clearly ahead of her on exposed form, and she is still unplaced from her only start at the track and distance. A stronger rider profile is a plus, but the form gap is too large to ignore.

Finished fourth on debut at Ohi over 1200m, beaten over 10 lengths by O Shin Sora after starting at big odds. The run was fair enough to the line, but there was no clear excuse and she remains a lightly raced maiden with plenty to find. Second-up improvement is possible, yet the exposed margin points more to minor-money claims than a strong winning case.

Resumes after a three-month break following a sixth at Mombetsu where she was beaten just over seven lengths by Mad Secret and failed to finish the job. Her previous run was better, third at long odds behind Fold In after having work to do and keeping on into the frame. With two placings from four starts she has some grounding, but the 1200m record remains a point to settle.

Was only battling after racing just off the pace at Ohi last start, finishing sixth and beaten over 14 lengths by Kyoei Akagi at big odds. Her debut third reads better on paper, but she was never competitive and was beaten out of sight behind Purple Fog. The return of a leading rider is useful, yet she needs a far stronger finish to trouble these.

Returns from a five-month spell after leading to the turn on debut at Ohi over 1000m, where she finished fourth and was beaten over 15 lengths by Kyoei Akagi. She had been near the top of betting, so there was some expectation, but the margin was plain and she now rises to 1200m. Early speed gives her a chance to be involved, though the stamina query tempers the confidence.

Worked home soundly when fifth at Ohi last start, yet she was still beaten over 12 lengths by Rovaniemi after again holding market interest. The run prior was a greater concern, last and well beaten by 27 lengths behind Lucky Color after weakening badly. She remains unplaced from three starts at this track and distance, so she must convert late work into a much more competitive result.

Came from well back for fifth at Ohi last start, beaten ten lengths by Friend Tonnerre after being unwanted in the market and never looking likely to feature. She was also second last over 1400m at Ohi the run prior, beaten over 16 lengths at long odds. Six unplaced starts at this track underline the challenge, and she needs more than race fitness to turn the form around.
