Tokyo City Keiba Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
KAZUNO MARIA (8) Claimed a tight victory last time around here on a heavy track. Takayuki Yano is in good form for this stable. Expected to fight out the finish. BEAUTIFUL BELL (5) Fresh today after a break. Got the upper hand late when winning last run at this track. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Must be considered. RUBY GALAXY (1) Finished 4th last start around here. Giving another go here and drawn the rails. Must respect. THE GOAT (6) Finished 6th last start at this venue. Expected to rebound. Should muster plenty of early speed. Minami Sugiyama is a bonus. In the mix.

Produced a sound third-up profile without quite putting the race away, finishing fourth at this track last start when beaten six lengths by Kreisler after being near the top of betting. Her previous second in a 3yo+ C3 at this venue was better, beaten a length by Cat Day after looming and fighting on. Proven at this track and distance, she shapes as a genuine place chance rather than a clear-cut winner.

Has been safely held in both runs this campaign, most recently eighth at this track when beaten just over eight lengths by Kreisler after being unwanted in the market. He was also ninth to Tiger Shark over 1400m at this venue two back, beaten over 10 lengths at long odds. The class drop helps, but a winless 17-start record leaves him with plenty to find.

Closed strongly for third in a 3yo COND at this track last start, but the margin was still seven and a half lengths behind Bell Wood Moa and she started at big odds. The run prior was similar, finishing fifth to Edge after making late ground from an impossible spot. The class drop and winning rider help, though she must turn closing efforts into far greater impact.

Has built a strong case through consistent recent efforts, working home evenly for third in a 3yo+ C3 at this track last start when beaten three lengths by Delizia. Two back she was fourth to Cat Day at this venue, beaten just under two lengths from a rearward spot. Her 1200m record is still looking for a win, but class relief and a solid last-12-month profile make her the horse to beat.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign in strong form, winning at this track over 1400m by half a length from Sahkulu after producing a powerful finish. She had also run second to Champetre in a 3yo+ C3 at this venue the start before. Her two wins and two placings from 13 starts at around 1200m keep her in calculations, but fitness has to be taken on trust first-up.

Brings a sturdy body of track-and-distance form, with three wins and seven places from 29 starts at this venue over 1200m, and the light weight is a genuine asset. Last start she made ground for sixth behind Kreisler, beaten seven lengths, after a fourth to Tiger Shark in 3yo+ C3 company. She lost to G T Urara recently, but class relief and a strong record with Minami Sugiyama make her a major winning threat.

Recent form reads modestly, with an eighth over 1600m at this track last start when beaten eight and a half lengths by Philippine after the final effort gave out. He had been sixth over 1400m behind Tiger Shark two back, again safely held at big odds. The class drop and rider return are positives, but one unplaced 1200m attempt and a winless 22-start record point more to place hope at best.

Comes in off the most appealing current form, winning a 3yo+ C3 at this track by a neck from Hana Hiraku as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. That followed a narrow second to Delizia at this venue, where she was beaten a neck after being near the top of betting. Her two wins and one placing from three starts at this track and distance are a strong pointer, and she should be highly competitive again.

Worked home evenly for fourth in a 3yo COND at this track last start, but she was still beaten just over eight lengths by Bell Wood Moa at big odds. Her previous ninth to Edge was weaker, beaten over 12 lengths after racing prominently and fading late. The light weight and class drop are positives, though a maiden record from 11 starts keeps the bar high.
