Tokyo City Keiba Race 12 - Race 12 - 1800
IVY SAMURAYO (2) Finished on top by 1L last run at this venue and has a positive draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Can get the job done . POD FESTA (10) Ran 5th last time at this track. Looking past the last run. Respect. NAMPASEN (4) Won with a leg in the air by 5L last run at this track but coming back in distance. Goes close. DOJIGIRI (3) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at this venue but dropping back to a shorter trip. Looks to have a good chance of placing.

Went close at this track last start, leading in a 3yo+ B1B2 over 2000m before being run down late by Glare Neon Light and beaten half a length at long odds. That was a sharp rebound from his previous run, when last behind Nampasen and beaten out of sight. His record around 1800m and the return of Takayuki Yano keep him in the minor-money mix, but the win case is less convincing than the place profile.

Returns from a five-week let-up after winning by a length over 1600m at this track, beating Meisho Tabizuki as a short odds-on favourite and extending comfortably from the front. He had been beaten a length by the same rival in 3yo+ B3 company the run prior, so the latest result was a strong answer. With eight wins from 11 starts at this venue and an excellent record with Tsubasa Sasagawa, he has the right profile to win again.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing third to Nampasen over 2400m at this track, beaten five and a half lengths after being close enough but unable to threaten. He had also worked home evenly when fourth over 2000m the run prior. The return to 1800m is suitable given his win and four placings around the trip, and he profiles as a sound place chance rather than a dominant winning hope.

Returns from a five-week let-up off a dominant win at this track, putting five lengths on Three Legend over 2400m and proving far too strong in the closing stages. He was also honest in 3yo+ B3 grade two back, beaten just under a length by Transient as a short odds-on favourite. With two wins from four starts around 1800m and Kenji Okamura back aboard, he carries a strong winning chance.

Has been well held at both recent starts, most recently finishing 14th over 1400m at this track when beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds. The start prior was only a little better, running eighth over 1200m after being unwanted in the market. He has past track-and-trip form, but being unplaced in all 20 starts in the past 12 months makes this a stern assignment.

Kept his form ticking over when fourth to Nine Esquire over 1400m at this track, beaten just under a length despite not quickening as sharply as required. He had chased home Ivy Samurayo over 1600m the start prior, and his broader profile is strong with six wins and six placings from 14 starts at this venue. The class drop and Ryo Fujita combination make him a serious winning chance.

Led in a 3yo+ B1B2 over 2000m last start but faded to finish second last, beaten four and a half lengths by Glare Neon Light at long odds. The previous run was no stronger, fourth behind Nampasen and beaten eight lengths in a small field. She has placed twice from five starts at this track and distance, but recent form leaves her with plenty to turn around.

Was plain last start when second last behind Nine Esquire over 1400m at this track, beaten just under ten lengths after settling well back and making no impression. The counterpoint is his B3 win the run prior, when he held off Ville Me Kiss Me by a neck at big odds. His overall strike rate is low, but that recent win gives him a minor-placing case if he rebounds quickly.

Battled only fairly when seventh in a 3yo+ B1B2 over 2000m at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. He had picked up nicely for fourth in 3yo+ B3 company the run prior, again at big odds. The class drop is some help, but one unplaced start around 1800m and thin recent market support leave others looking stronger.

Finished fifth first-up in a 3yo+ B1B2 over 1650m at this track, but the margin was over 15 lengths and there was no clear excuse. He was also well beaten in 3yo COND company at his previous appearance. His overall record is better than those two runs suggest, including two wins from five starts at this venue, but he is unplaced in two tries around 1800m and must improve.
