Tokyo City Keiba Race 1 - Race 1 - 1600
BEIDEN FLASH (5) is the clear starting point despite being beaten as a short odds-on favourite at his past two. He was only beaten two and a half lengths by Philippine over 1600m at Ohi last start and still has a strong overall profile, with two wins and two places from five starts and proven track-and-distance form. BLANTON ARROW (10) brings the winning form, having scored by half a length over this track and distance before this, and his previous second to Jikon reads well enough for a repeat showing, although barrier 10 is the obvious complication. IKENO GAL CHAN (1) has the best recent consistency of the quartet, with consecutive Ohi thirds and a recent margin edge over BEIDEN FLASH, but her low win strike-rate tempers the enthusiasm. FINE DAY (2) is the lighter-weighted place option after working home from big odds last start, though she still has to turn honest efforts into a sharper result.

Has strung together honest Ohi form, finishing third over 1600m two weeks ago when beaten two lengths by Philippine after working home evenly. She had also been third here the start prior, beaten just over four lengths by Justin Long, and the inside barrier helps a mare with a deep 1600m record here. The win strike-rate is modest, but she beat Beiden Flash recently and profiles as a genuine winning chance.

Picked up nicely in the straight when sixth over 1600m at Ohi last start, beaten just under four lengths by Philippine at long odds. The start prior was similar enough, finishing fourth here after only working home fairly and being unwanted in the market. She gets down to 51kg and has placed five times from 18 runs at this track and distance, so a minor placing is within reach.

Closed off with purpose when fifth over 1600m at Ohi last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Philippine after starting an outside chance. Her previous third over 1400m behind Pale Moon came with a wider beaten margin, but she has generally been holding her form. Having lost to Ikeno Gal Chan and Beiden Flash recently, she looks more a sound place prospect than the key winning threat.

Was never in the picture when 14th over 1200m at Ohi last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Cat Day after being unwanted in the market. He had offered little when tenth here the run prior, beaten eight and a half lengths by Tiger Shark at long odds. The class drop is a minor help, but the rise to 1600m adds another question to an already plain profile.

Led and was sound rather than decisive when fourth over 1600m at Ohi last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Philippine as a short odds-on favourite. He had been third to the same winner the start prior after tracking into the straight and fighting on. The market has missed twice, but he is third-up, has two wins and two places from five starts, and remains the runner with the strongest winning platform.

Could not make headway when second last over 1600m at Ohi last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Philippine after being unwanted in the market. His previous ninth behind Justin Long was only marginally better, with a seven and a half length defeat and no strong late response. Past track-and-distance form is noted, but current race form says he needs a marked turnaround.

Made some late ground from well back when seventh over 1600m at Ohi last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Philippine, but he was big odds and never looked a likely factor. Two weeks earlier he was eighth behind Justin Long, beaten just over seven lengths at long odds. With no placing from 17 starts in the past 12 months, others bring far stronger claims.

Settled just off the lead before fading to eighth over 1600m at Ohi last start, beaten eight lengths by Philippine at long odds. The run prior also saw her race prominently and weaken late when sixth behind Justin Long, beaten just over six lengths. She has track-and-distance positives in the background, but the recent finishing effort leaves a significant job.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a plain second-last over 1600m at Ohi, where he was beaten over 14 lengths by Justin Long despite being near the top of an open market. His previous ninth over 1800m behind Nishino Konukaame was also well below standard. The counter is a strong track-and-distance record of two wins and one place from five, making him a cautious place chance if he rebounds.

Arrives off the right form line after making up plenty of ground to win over 1600m at Ohi, scoring by half a length from Minnano Bummo as an outside chance in the betting. That followed a second here behind Jikon, beaten two and a half lengths, so the pattern is clearly improving. Barrier 10 is the main query, but 53kg and current form make him a serious threat again.

Gave away a big start and was never a factor when eighth over 1200m at Ohi last start, beaten just under six lengths by Cat Day after being unwanted in the market. He had been fifth here behind Gold Talisman two back but was still beaten nine and a half lengths. A seven-win career record gives him some substance, yet the rise to 1600m and poor Ohi record are clear concerns.
