Tokyo City Keiba Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

STAR MAIDEN (6) sets the benchmark after resuming with a narrow 1200m win at Ohi, beating Strike Looks by a neck while well fancied, and her Kanazawa 3yo+ B2 win before the break adds further substance. The move to 1400m is supported by her distance record, so she deserves top billing. CHIMARU (5) is the immediate danger, having gone win then second at Ohi and boasting two wins and a placing from three runs at this track and distance. KITETSU (3) has the right profile to keep closing in, with a last-start second to West Leader and consistent recent statistics, though he is still chasing a first win from five runs over this course and trip. AOI PHOTOGRAPH (2) brings a solid third behind Wing Wind and is drawn to get her chance, but her record here reads more place than win. The race looks centred on STAR MAIDEN and CHIMARU, with KITETSU the proven threat if he repeats his latest effort.

Recent form leaves him with a sizeable task, having finished second last at Ohi last start when beaten over 10 lengths by Wing Wind at big odds. The run prior was no better, as he was tenth behind West Leader after settling rearward and making no impression late. Two wins and three places from 15 starts at this track and distance are positives, but current output has to improve sharply.

Bounced back into a much stronger effort at Ohi last start, finishing third behind Wing Wind and beaten just under a length while near the top of an open market. Her previous fourth to Nansei Scorpion was well held and she did not finish it off, so the winning edge remains the query. Four placings from nine runs at this track and distance make her a genuine minor-money chance.

Returns from a one-month let-up after a good second at Ohi, beaten just over a length by West Leader at generous odds. That was a clear lift on his previous ninth behind the same winner, when in touch but unable to threaten. He has placed three times from five runs at this track and distance and is reunited with a rider who knows him well, keeping him right in the winning discussion.

Has been well beaten at both recent Ohi runs, finishing ninth over 1200m last start when beaten over 14 lengths by Cumin Flavor after being miles back and failing to improve. Two back he was second last behind West Leader, beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. Returning to 1400m helps on paper, but his past 12 months make difficult reading.

Kept his strong campaign rolling when second to Wing Wind at Ohi last start, beaten just under a length after being prominent in betting. That followed a tough track-and-distance win over Porte D'Italie, where he led into the lane and held on by a neck. Three wins and three places from nine starts overall, plus a perfect top-three record at this course and trip, give him a serious chance again.

Resumed in winning style at Ohi over 1200m, holding a narrow lead and finding enough to beat Strike Looks by a neck while near the top of betting. She had earlier won a 3yo+ B2 at Kanazawa by six lengths as an odds-on favourite, so the form profile is sound. Second-up at 1400m looks suitable, and her winning record gives her the right credentials to take beating.

Improved marginally when fifth to Cumin Flavor over 1200m at Ohi last start, beaten just over five lengths after conceding a big start and finishing off fairly. Her first-up eighth behind Nansei Scorpion was much weaker, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. Third-up improvement is possible, but the rise to 1400m is still a genuine question for a maiden after 23 starts.

Dropped away late over 1800m at Ohi last start, finishing seventh behind Rapide and beaten just over eight lengths after offering little in the closing stages. His prior fourth behind West Leader was far more encouraging, closing strongly to be beaten a length and a half. Back to 1400m and with a track-and-distance win, he can rebound enough to press for a place.

Comments

Showed little market confidence when eighth behind Wing Wind at Ohi last start, beaten just over five lengths while carrying 51kg. The start prior was much worse, finishing last behind West Leader after giving away a big start and never getting into the picture. The light weight is no disadvantage, but an 11-start unplaced run across the past 12 months is hard to overlook.

Comments

Has gone backwards at his past two Ohi appearances, finishing 12th behind Wing Wind last start when beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds. Before that he was last behind West Leader, beaten over 18 lengths after giving away a big start. His career and track-and-distance records are better than the current form suggests, yet he must show much more before rating as a threat.

Comments

Was only fair when sixth behind Wing Wind at Ohi last start, beaten three and a half lengths after starting as an outside chance in the betting. That followed a narrow win here over Last Eight Club, where he was made to work and prevailed by half a length. Recent form is respectable and the rider has a win from two on him, but the latest loss to Chimaru keeps him more in the place mix.
