Tokyo City Keiba Race 1 - Race 1 - 1200
SPECIALITE (4) First up after 99 weeks and tidy run when 3rd first up last preparation at the track. Jockey Takayuki Yano and trainer Terunobu Fujita are usually competitive together. Must be considered. HENNY IRIS (8) Won narrowly by a head last start around here. One of the better chances. CHUO THOROUGH (3) Finished 4th last run around here. Has the potential to improve sharply. Should be going forward early. Can take this out. DOTCHI NANDAI (5) Ran 9th last time around here. Expected to settle towards the rear. Has claims.

Was never likely when eighth behind Henny Iris at this track three weeks ago, beaten just over nine lengths at big odds after settling too far away. Her previous sixth over 1600m was better, only two and a half lengths from Bettina, and the class drop with 51kg gives her some help. Five unplaced runs around 1200m keep the win case guarded, but she can improve enough to chase a minor cheque.

Found nothing after being close enough last start, dropping out to finish 12th behind Henny Iris at this track and beaten over 14 lengths. The run prior was at least more competitive, seventh to Bettina over 1600m and beaten five lengths, though again at long odds. The class drop is a positive, but a 30-start maiden record makes her a place-only prospect.

Improved third-up when fourth to Henny Iris at this track, beaten two lengths after being near the top of betting, and she now looks ready to peak. She was also kept safe two back when sixth to Red Floga, so the market has consistently respected her. A win and a placing from ten runs at this track and distance give her the right foundation, and she rates the strongest threat to the favourite.

Returns from a lengthy spell, having last raced when fourth in a 2yo COND over 1400m at this track, beaten just over eight lengths by Evenin. His debut third over 1600m came in a small field, but he was still beaten over 14 lengths by Tiger Shark. Takayuki Yano going on is a plus, though 1200m is untried and he has plenty to prove fresh.

Resumed with a plain ninth behind Henny Iris at this track, beaten over 13 lengths after settling back and weakening further in the straight. His previous run was also well below the mark when second last to Greater Hope, but he has placed once from four tries at this track and distance and the winning rider returns. That gives him some place claims if he sharpens markedly.

Has been close enough at his past two starts to command respect, most recently fifth behind Henny Iris at this track when beaten two and a half lengths as an outside chance in betting. Two back he picked up nicely in the straight when fifth to Red Floga, despite being unwanted in the market. The maiden record is the obvious knock, but this looks a suitable opening if he can convert those recent finishes.

Dropped right out when last behind Henny Iris at this track, beaten over 19 lengths at big odds after offering little late. That followed another last placing to Pale Moon over 1400m, where she settled prominently but gave nothing in the run home. The class drop and past track win are noted, but current form leaves her with a substantial turnaround to make.

Comes off the best last-start performance in the race, winning at this track as favourite and beating Tsukushi by a neck after fighting strongly when right in the contest. She had also started favourite when fourth to Red Floga two back, beaten three lengths, so the form has been reliable all campaign. With two wins and a placing from eight runs around 1200m, she brings the strongest profile and is the one to beat again.

Settled back and weakened further when second last behind Henny Iris at this track, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. The start prior was similar in shape, with no late impression when 11th to Sonic Sunrise over 1600m. She remains a 31-start maiden and has been unplaced in all 13 runs in the past 12 months, so others make far stronger appeal.

Faded late when tenth behind Henny Iris at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths after being an outside chance in the betting. Her return run was also plain, finishing eighth to Red Floga after having the right run but offering little thereafter. She is third-up now, but five unplaced attempts at this track and distance leave her with a sizeable improvement task.
