Tokyo City Keiba Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
FESTIVE (6) Fairly underwhelming when 7th last start at the track. Should improve here. Looks a winning hope. DANNOURA (4) Came in 4th last time around here. May see an upturn in form. Must respect in this event. SABUNO GRANDSON (3) Sub-standard effort when 6th last run at this venue. Might be ridden for luck. Can take this out. ISLE OF HEAVEN (1) Below expectations when 6th last start at the track but was a debutant last start. Likely to settle back in the field. Could fill the minors.

Finished sixth on debut over 1800m at this track, beaten over 16 lengths behind Wide Valiente after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. She was unwanted in the market and Melody Lei had her measure from the same meeting. The first try at 1400m leaves another question, so second-up improvement would have to be sharp to turn her into more than a minor hope.

Has had two starts and both have left him with plenty to find, most recently sixth at this track behind Montana Magic when beaten over 19 lengths after conceding a huge start. His debut was even weaker, finishing last behind La Vague and beaten out of sight at big odds. Race fitness third-up is the lone positive, but the form has to lift markedly before he can threaten.

Produced his best recent finish when fourth behind Montana Magic at this track, beaten over 12 lengths but making up good ground late after being near the top of an open market. His previous eighth behind Yuyu Venture was plain, and the record at around 1400m remains a concern with three unplaced tries. The 52kg impost helps, leaving him a realistic place chance rather than a strong win play.

Stepped out over 1800m at this track and finished last behind Wide Valiente, beaten over 17 lengths after coming under pressure late. He did start as an outside chance in betting rather than being ignored, and the Terunobu Fujita stable has a strong profile at this venue. Melody Lei beat him home clearly from that race, so his appeal is more for the placings if he progresses second-up.

Has race fitness on her side third-up, but the latest run was disappointing when seventh behind Musashi Penny over 1200m at this track, beaten over 12 lengths after being near the top of betting. Her debut fifth behind O Shin Sora was also well held, and 1400m is untried. She has enough rating positives to sneak into the minors, but the last-start market miss is hard to ignore.
