Tokyo City Keiba Race 7 - Race 7 - 1600
VULTURE STAR (3) Came in 4th last run here. Expected to rebound and proven performer at this distance in the past. Should race on the speed. Shou Yoshii has been successful aboard previously. Expect to go close. NINE FOLD (5) Tidy effort when 2nd last run at the track. Takayuki Yano and Terunobu Fujita demand respect when they team up. Has the ability to take this out. KASENO LUPUS (7) Resuming after a break of 129 weeks. Assumed control from the start when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last time at Fukushima. Likely to be well placed early. Respect in this event. IFU DODO (1) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time here and gets a favourable gate. Has run into the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run.

Kept finding from a difficult spot when third at this track last start, beaten just under four lengths behind Agile Black at long odds. He had also run third here the start prior when near the top of betting, beaten just over two lengths by Musashi Tarumae. Still a maiden after 16 starts, but three placings from four at this track and distance keep him firmly in the minor-money mix.

Returned to winning form at this track last start, scoring by a neck from Binnada at big odds, which was a sharp turnaround from a tenth behind Agile Black when unwanted in the market. The veteran mare is well exposed, but seven wins at this track and distance give that latest result some substance. She can hold a place chance if the last-start form is repeated.

Was beaten as a well-supported favourite when fourth over 1400m at this track last start, leading and working home evenly behind Harlem Shuffle. That followed a narrow win here as odds-on favourite, and his wider record remains highly persuasive: six wins from twelve overall and four from four at this track and distance. Third-up with Sho Yoshii retained, he has a strong winning case.

Has been well beaten at both recent runs, finishing sixth at this track last start when beaten over 12 lengths after being swamped late. The start prior was worse, second last behind Heykens and well beaten by 21 lengths. He does have past wins at this track and distance, but the current form leaves him with a major turnaround to produce.

Returns from a two-month break after a solid second at this track, beaten just over a length by Heykens when sent out favourite. That was his first run back and a much better piece of evidence than the heavy 3yo COND defeat over 1800m before that. His overall record is sound, and the Yano partnership has never missed a place, so he profiles as a live winning hope.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second to Tiered and beaten a head at generous odds. That was a clear lift on her previous run, when last behind Kogen Silver and beaten just under nine lengths after coming under pressure late. She has plenty of placings around 1600m without converting, so she appeals more as a place hope than a firm win play.

Returns from a lengthy spell, having last raced when winning a 3yo Maiden at Fukushima Dirt by three and a half lengths from Sunrise Sheer after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. He had also been runner-up at Hanshin Dirt when favourite, and his career record of one win and four placings from six starts is strong. The absence is obvious, but his form standard makes him the one to beat.

Has not offered enough in two runs this campaign, finishing eighth at this track last start when beaten over 12 lengths by Agile Black at long odds. He was also ninth here the run prior, beaten over 10 lengths behind Musashi Tarumae. With no win from 18 starts and only one placing from six at this track and distance, others look to have clearer claims.

Was unable to back up her better run when seventh at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths behind Tiered after coming under pressure late. Two back she did finish strongly for third behind Kogen Silver at big odds, and her broader career record is respectable. Even so, the latest effort asks her to find that sharper prior finish again before she is a serious threat.

Has been plain at her past two starts, finishing last at this track over 1200m last time when beaten over 16 lengths despite sitting near the top of an open market. She was also tenth here in a 3yo+ C1C2 the start prior, beaten over 10 lengths behind Drain The Swamp. With five unplaced runs at this venue and no placing in the past 12 months, she has plenty to turn around.
