Tokyo City Keiba Race 11 - Race 11 - 2000

MUT KURVE (11) Came in 5th last start at this venue. Should bounce back and returning to more ground. Takayuki Yano is a key engagement. Must be considered. COSMO GIGANTEA (1) Back after a break. Displayed potential when winning by 1 1/4L last time here and drawn well. Jockey Norifumi Mikamoto rates highly aboard. Worth consideration. A SHIN PISTON (8) Came in 6th last time at this venue but back over more ground. Youichi Andou is a key booking. Should get going late. Worth a ticket. GLARE NEON LIGHT (3) Was fighting out the finish when winning by 1/2L last run at this venue and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Can give this a shake.

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with a strong COND win over 1800m at this track, charging from an unlikely position to beat Creme D'Or by just over a length. The start prior was a heavy defeat in the G2 TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho at Tokyo, but that was a far tougher assignment. He has one unplaced run around 2000m, so the trip is the query, yet his profile keeps him in the place mix.

Back after two months on the sidelines following a fifth in A2B1 grade at this track, beaten eight lengths after settling rearward and starting at big odds. He had also been safely held when sixth behind Alm La Tour at this venue. The track-and-distance record is strong enough to respect, and the winning rider returns, but his recent finishes leave him with plenty to turn around.

Returns from a five-week let-up in winning form after scoring by half a length in B1B2 company at this track, sitting right there and holding off Pond Boy. She had been second to Parmigianino the run prior, so the recent pattern is sound. A track-and-distance record of one win and two placings from three starts gives her a firm base, and the weight relief strengthens her place prospects.

Had every chance when seventh in a B1 at Funabashi last start, sitting in the right spot before offering little and finishing seven and a half lengths from National Mall. His previous fifth at this track was better late, but he was still beaten nine lengths in a small field. A minor track-and-distance placing helps only so far; he must produce more sustained pressure.

Was well beaten first-up over 1400m at this track, finishing eighth behind Assurbanipal by over 13 lengths after settling miles back and making no impression. His previous run at this venue was similar, beaten just under nine lengths behind Idea Igosso at long odds. He has been unplaced at his only try around 2000m and is winless in the past 12 months, so a major lift is required.

Worked back in the right direction when fourth in a B1 over 1400m at this track, beaten four lengths after tracking the speed and battling on. That was a better effort than his last behind Glare Neon Light the run before, when well found in the market but offered little. He returns to a distance where he has won at this venue, and his season record keeps him a sound place chance.

Has been out of form, finishing seventh behind Nine Esquire at this track last start after being close enough to strike but finding little. The run prior was a heavy defeat behind Touch Wood, beaten over 20 lengths at long odds. He has placed once from five starts at this track and distance and has won for this jockey, but current form leaves him with a steep task.

Closed off fairly from too far back when sixth behind Assurbanipal over 1400m at this track, but the margin was still over 11 lengths and he never threatened. His earlier fifth behind Sonic Star was sounder without being compelling. A return to 2000m suits his record at this venue, and the rider has had success on him, but he has to turn recent closing work into a stronger result.

Resumes after a three-month break following a second-last finish in A2B1 company at this track, beaten seven lengths after settling well back and never threatening. He had been beaten over 12 lengths at Funabashi before that, again with little market support. He has not raced around 2000m before, and despite a past win at this venue, the recent form asks him to lift sharply.

Back after two months on the sidelines following a fair fifth in B1B2 grade at Kawasaki, where he was near the top of betting but only worked home evenly behind Rutonwaji. His win there two starts ago was stronger, digging in as a well-supported favourite to beat Lilabad. He is new to this track, but the 2000m record and weight relief give him a strong platform to rebound.

Comments

Finished fifth behind Assurbanipal over 1400m at this track last start, conceding a big start and staying on fairly without ever threatening. His third behind Smile Mambo two runs ago was a better guide, again doing his best work late. The 2000m record is the main concern, but six wins at this venue and an excellent record with Takayuki Yano make him a serious winning chance.

Back after two months on the sidelines after two heavy Funabashi defeats, most recently finishing eighth behind Sehr Schnell in A2B1 company and beaten over 16 lengths. The previous run was no better, also beaten over 16 lengths after settling miles back. Third-up fitness and a class drop provide some context, but he must show far more before being trusted beyond a minor placing.

Comes through two strong placings at this track, most recently second to Kagayaki Temma over 1200m after working home evenly at generous odds. He was also third behind Glare Neon Light the run prior, beaten just under a length despite being sent out at big odds. With a deep record at this venue, weight relief and reliable recent form, he sets the standard among the main hopes.
