Tokyo City Keiba Race 4 - Race 4 - 1200
L'OISEAU DE FEU (10) Placed 3rd last start here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Running with confidence this campaign but back to a shorter trip. Key player. A BOY (9) Ran well when 3rd last run around here. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Won't be far away. DEAR WENDY (2) Fresh after a break. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at this track and gets a favourable draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Expect to go close. RHEIN HOPE (3) Looked good when 2nd last run at the track and having second career run. Will give a big sight.

Improved sharply at her second start when second at this track, beaten three lengths by Seaman Hope after being run down late at generous odds. Her debut fourth behind La Vague had merit without being decisive, as she loomed up before flattening out. Now third-up, drawn barrier 1 and back with a positive class set-up, she has the race fitness and position to be a strong winning chance.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a sound second at this track, beaten a length by Shanghai Yoshino after tracking the lead and fighting on. His debut seventh was plain, but the later run showed clear improvement and he has since beaten Destroyer in a relevant match-up. First-up readiness is the unknown, yet his best form makes him a genuine place prospect.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a promising debut second at this track, beaten just under two lengths by Batchiri as favourite after working into the race nicely. He was unable to finish the job there, but the effort still rated well for a lightly raced colt and he has already placed at the distance. With the class drop and winning rider back, he sets the benchmark and can go one better.

Has been working away without threatening, finishing fifth at this track last start when beaten seven lengths at long odds. The start prior was another fifth, beaten ten lengths after giving away too much start and only making late ground. She is unplaced from all seven starts, including three tries around 1200m, so even with a class drop she has to find a sharper finish.

Closed off well from an unlikely position when fourth at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths by Yamano Shingeki over 1400m. That was a stronger effort than his previous seventh behind Pod Madeira, where he was unwanted and did not quicken. The return to 1200m is a genuine query, with no wins or placings from three tries, but his latest finish keeps him in the winning discussion.

Was beaten over 16 lengths when seventh at this track last start, giving away a huge start and never getting involved at long odds. Her debut second behind O Shin Sora reads better on paper, but she was still beaten six lengths and lacked the dash to trouble the winner. The class drop and rider returning are positives, though she must rebound strongly to threaten.

Failed to back up his win when sixth at this track last start, beaten ten lengths by Yamano Shingeki after conceding a big start. The start prior was much better, scoring by three lengths from Akano Heya at this venue despite being unwanted in betting. He is proven at 1200m and the winning rider returns, so a bounce back puts him into the minor-money mix.

Was last and beaten a long way after leading at this track last start, which is difficult to overlook given there was no obvious excuse. Her debut second was a far better guide, beaten a length by Daiwa Curren City after fighting on from the front at generous odds. Weight relief to 51kg and a prior 1200m placing give her claims, but she is more place hope than win anchor.

Has placed in both starts at this track, most recently third behind Seaman Hope when beaten just under five lengths after having the drop on the leaders. His debut third behind O Shin Sora was similar, close enough but only battling into the minor money. Consistency is a plus and he is race fit, but he has to produce a stronger closing effort to trouble the main chances.

Finished third at this track last start but was beaten over 14 lengths by Force Majeure in a five-runner field, so the placing needs context. The run prior was weaker again, finishing a distant last behind Keten Passion despite working home fairly. She has placed twice from three starts at this venue, but the first attempt around 1200m asks a new question and others look sharper.
