Tokyo City Keiba Race 12 - Race 12 - 1650

REBELLIOUS (6) brings the most persuasive recent profile, having won a 3yo+ B2 at Ohi by three and a half lengths two back before finishing third, beaten just over a length, behind Ivy Samurayo two weeks ago. He has proven Ohi track-and-distance figures and already holds a recent edge over SORBET. THREE LEGEND (4) is the obvious danger on consistency and depth, with a neck win here over Lamorak followed by a second to Nampasen, although he was beaten five lengths as favourite at 2400m last time. SORBET (3) appeals third-up with an excellent Ohi track-and-distance record, but she must find a little more after finishing behind REBELLIOUS at generous odds. TOUCH WOOD (8) is the class angle, coming out of Open races at Hanshin Dirt and Kyoto Dirt, though the long break and distance change make him the hardest of the main hopes to price confidently.

Returns from a ten-month break after finishing fifth in a 3yo+ A2B1 at Ohi, beaten just under six lengths by Scharfsinn, where he picked up nicely in the straight. The start prior was a sound second at Funabashi behind Sehr Schnell, beaten four lengths and respected in an open market. With one win and five places from eleven at this track and distance, he has a genuine minor-money profile if forward enough.

Returns from an eight-month break after a plain 12th over 1800m at Ohi, beaten over 16 lengths by Realize Glint when unwanted in the market and offering little. He had been fourth at Funabashi over the same trip, beaten seven lengths by Finger, after looming without finishing it off. The track and distance record reads well, but recent race evidence says he must lift sharply.

Improved second-up when fifth in a 3yo+ B2 at Ohi, beaten just under three lengths by Ivy Samurayo at generous odds after settling rearward. The Kawasaki run prior was only fair, with Erin Achilles beating her by five and a half lengths when she lacked the required turn of foot. Third-up fitness and six wins at this track and distance keep her right in the contest, though Rebellious held her last time.

Placed again when second in a 3yo+ B2 at Ohi over 2400m, though being beaten five lengths by Nampasen as favourite leaves a small query from that run. The stronger reference is his previous Ohi win in 3yo+ B2B3 grade, beating Lamorak by a neck after driving hard late. Back to a proven track-and-distance set-up, with three wins and one place from four here, he remains a serious threat.

Finished 12th at Ohi over 1400m last start, beaten seven lengths by Little Bighorn at big odds after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The run prior was no better, seventh in a 3yo+ B1 here and beaten over 12 lengths by Sakki Mitsugu. He has old track-and-trip credentials, but being unplaced in all 15 starts in the past 12 months is hard to overlook.

Went close in a 3yo+ B2 at Ohi two weeks ago, finishing third to Ivy Samurayo and beaten just over a length after being run down late. That followed a strong win here in the same grade, beating World Aim by three and a half lengths when extending clear. Four wins at this track and distance give the form substance, and the recent Sorbet line strengthens his case as one of the key winning chances.

Returns from a five-week let-up after being tailed off over 1800m at Ohi behind Mild Evening, with little in the run to excuse the margin. Two starts back he led over the same trip and was still beaten five and a half lengths by Cosmo Gigantea. The back-in-trip set-up and weight relief are positives, but he needs to rediscover earlier form before he can be trusted.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a ninth in a 3yo+ Open at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just under eight lengths by W Heart Bond when the final effort was only moderate. Before that he was fifth in a 4yo+ Open at Kyoto Dirt, beaten seven lengths by Sunrise Arion and again respected in the market. The class drop is meaningful, but the long absence and distance change temper the winning confidence.

Comments

Was last at Ohi over 1400m most recently, beaten just over nine lengths by Little Bighorn after settling handy but offering no challenge in the straight. The start prior was weaker again over 1800m, finishing second last and beaten over 19 lengths by Bless Word when unwanted in the market. His track-and-distance record is solid, but current form demands a substantial lift.

Second-up after an eighth in a 3yo+ B2 at Ohi, beaten just over nine lengths by Ivy Samurayo at long odds after having too much to do. His previous run in a 3yo+ B1 was also plain, sixth to Crown Shooter and beaten six lengths. A season win and class relief offer some support, but he was behind Rebellious and Sorbet last time and looks more a place hope than a win play.
