Tokyo City Keiba Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
RIPENING (2) Back from a break of 30 weeks. Was competitive when 3rd last time here and will try to take advantage of the gate. Should muster plenty of early toe. Should be right in the finish. PYRGOS AETOS (6) Nice run when 3rd last start at this track. Can figure. BELLE OCEAN (7) First up after 12 weeks and attacked the line when 3rd first up last preparation at Nakayama. Jockey Shou Yoshii and trainer Naoyuki Matoba are usually competitive together. Can figure in the finish. COBRA TWIST (9) Honest race when 2nd last time at this track. In the mix.

Returns from a four-month break after being last seen well beaten at Kawasaki, finishing 12th in a 3yo COND over 2100m when unwanted in the market and never in the race. The run prior was much better, a second at this track when beaten two lengths by Civic Fourwheel, and her local record is sound. Even so, she has to rebound sharply to trouble the main hopes.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with two strong thirds at this venue over 1600m, beaten just under a length by Cosmo Magallanica after being pipped late and earlier sent out favourite behind Justin Power. He is proven at this track and distance with one win and three placings from four, and his record with Takayuki Yano is a major positive. He brings the most reliable winning profile.

Race-fit gelding whose latest fifth at this track was only fair, beaten nine and a half lengths by Saikan Sanyu after settling rearward at long odds. His previous fifth behind Vulture Star had more merit, as he made up ground late to be beaten two and a half lengths. He has placed once from four at this track and distance, which points more to a minor-money chance than a winning one.

Returns from a five-month break with recent form that has to be questioned. He was tenth at Kyoto in a 4yo+ ALLOW when beaten six lengths by Madison Girl at long odds, after an 11th at Fukushima where he was beaten over 18 lengths. Now with Satoshi Fukunaga and tries around 1400m for the first time, but the race form says he has plenty to find.

Second-up after finishing second last at this track, beaten over 13 lengths by Saikan Sanyu at big odds. That followed a tenth at this venue before the break when he was again well held and unable to make an impression. His one win from four at this track and distance keeps him in the wider mix, but current form leaves him looking a place-at-best chance.

Returns from a five-week let-up in consistent form, with consecutive thirds in 3yo COND races at this track. He was beaten eight lengths by Saikan Sanyu most recently, but had earlier worked home from an awkward spot to place behind Gerbera Flavor at big odds. Three placings from eight at this track and distance show he is genuine without being dominant, and his race fitness keeps him right in the contest.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing tenth at Fukushima in a 3yo Maiden, beaten three and a half lengths by Shine For Me after settling back. Her previous ninth at Niigata Dirt was more costly on the margin, though she was not disgraced after having the job ahead. Still a maiden, but a prior 1400m placing gives her enough profile to be considered for the minors.

Produced her best run for some time when third at this track behind Saikan Sanyu, beaten eight lengths but strong through the closing stages after starting at long odds. The run prior was a plain eighth behind Vulture Star, so she has to hold that latest level rather than regress. With 51kg and the winning rider back, she has enough closing form to be a genuine place chance.

Comes off a solid second at this track over 1200m, beaten three lengths by Samani Denka after looming and fighting on at long odds. Two back he was only fair to the line when sixth behind Saikan Sanyu, and Pyrgos Aetos had his measure in that race. His track record is sound, but previous attempts around 1400m have produced no placings, so he shapes as an each-way hope with a trip query.
