Tokyo City Keiba Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
MESMERISE (4) Got the upper hand late when winning last start at this venue. Should jump out and bowl along. Added confidence with Jouji Wada doing the steering. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. RIKO HUGHES (5) First up and tidy run when 3rd first up last preparation at this track. Has plenty of early speed. Recent form of Katsunori Arayama is strong. Deserves consideration. SOUND KINGDOM (7) Honest race when 2nd last start here and back to more ground. Suitably placed in this race. PYRGOS AETOS (11) Finished 5th last start around here. Could work into the placings.

Dropped out to finish second last at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths by Ripening after settling rearward and making no impression late. The start prior was better, running third behind Saikan Sanyu and finishing strongly, but she was beaten eight lengths and unwanted in the market. One placing from five tries around 1400m leaves her with a fair bit to find.

Resumed with a ninth at this track over 1200m, beaten five and a half lengths by Mademoisellerennes after having runners ahead and only finishing moderately. Her previous run was a distant tenth behind Collier D'Or, also at long odds. With no wins from 18 starts and no placing from three at this track and distance, the recent profile is hard to recommend.

Returns after two months off following an eighth in a Mdn at Nakayama, beaten five and a half lengths by Bang On Time when never a winning hope but not giving it away. He had closed strongly for seventh at Fukushima two back, beaten three and a half lengths by Ridere Cuore. The 1400m is new, but the class drop and fourth-up setup give him the best winning profile.

Resumed with a determined C2 win over 1200m at this track, beating Lien Riva by half a length after looming up and fighting hard. She had been near the top of betting when fifth behind Fulgurite before the break, and her overall record of three wins and two placings from seven starts at this venue is a major positive. First try at 1400m is the only real query, but she brings the right form.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last campaign with a fourth in a COND at this track, beaten three and a half lengths by Baby The Rock after tracking the speed and not finishing it off. He had run third to the same winner over 1600m the start prior. The 1400m is untried, but two wins and two placings from eight starts give him sound place credentials fresh.

Has been beaten a long way at his past two runs, finishing last at this track over 1600m most recently behind West Leader after settling handy and dropping out. The run prior was another ninth, beaten a long way behind Yuyu Starry. He has won at this distance and at this venue, but current form demands a sharp turnaround.

Worked into second at this track first-up over 1000m in a small field, but was still beaten nine lengths by Piko Pink despite grinding home. His previous run was an 11th behind Pierre Oregon, beaten nine and a half lengths after racing closer. A return to 1400m suits his record, including two wins around the trip, but recent margins are a concern.

Returns after six weeks since finishing eighth at this track, beaten over 12 lengths by Saikan Sanyu after conceding a huge start. That followed a ninth behind Vulture Star when big odds and unable to make ground. He has a track-and-distance win in the book, but one placing from 15 starts in the past 12 months underlines the task.

Produced a good closing run for fourth at this track over 1200m last start, beaten a length and a half by Mademoisellerennes after looking unlikely on the turn. The prior sixth behind Revuelto Dio was more workmanlike, but his recent reliability is clear with eight placings from 11 starts in the past 12 months. More place than win profile, yet he is a genuine minor hope.

Improved third-up when fourth to Ripening at this track, beaten four and a half lengths after making up good ground from back in the field. That was a clear step in the right direction after finishing second last behind Saikan Sanyu at big odds. Already a winner at this track and distance and lightly weighted at 53kg, he has the right setup to keep building.

Was just fair through the line when fifth to Ripening at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after starting at generous odds. Two back he ran third in a COND behind Saikan Sanyu, albeit beaten eight lengths. Three placings from nine attempts around 1400m offer some support, but barrier 11 and the recent margins point to a place-only scenario.
