Tokyo City Keiba Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400

NINE ESQUIRE (13) Showed promise when winning by 2L last time at the track. Ultra competitive this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs. Has to be strongly considered. OMASA (1) In the money when 2nd last run at the track and strong form at this distance. Should be going forward early. Has run into the placings all attempts this campaign. Well placed and has solid claims. PEPITA D'ORO (14) Strong performance to win by 1 3/4L last run around here and suited at this trip in the past. Has the ability to take this out. CLAIR JACK (4) Came in 7th last run around here. Shou Yoshii and Naoyuki Matoba show promise as a combination. Gets back and needs luck. Must be considered.

Had to settle for second as a dominant odds-on favourite in a B1 at this track last start, beaten two lengths by Nine Esquire after sitting right there and trying hard. The run prior was a far stronger statement, beating Coral King by four lengths in B2 company. His 10 wins and one placing from 11 starts at this track and distance are outstanding, and from barrier one he has the profile to rebound strongly.

Finished sixth over 1200m at this track last start, beaten just under seven lengths at long odds, but did make late ground after looking no hope. His ninth here the run prior was plain and came when unwanted in the market. The rise to 1400m remains a query given two previous tries around the trip for no placings, yet that latest finish gives him some minor-money appeal.

Back after two months on the sidelines following a strong first-up win at this track, where he drove hard late to beat O Shin Half by just under a length. That came after a B2 third when beaten just over half a length as favourite, so the recent form reads well. His record at this track and distance is deep, with five wins and seven placings from 16 attempts, and he looks the runner they have to beat.

Was beaten just over seven lengths as favourite over 1200m at this track last start after settling rearward, and his previous run behind Little Bighorn was similar in margin. The overall record is far better than those two runs suggest, with 10 wins from 25 starts and a strong partnership with this jockey. He has to turn recent form around, but the profile still gives him place claims.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a seventh in a B1 at this track, beaten just under six lengths when in touch but unable to threaten. He had failed to finish at this venue the run before, so the recent race evidence is difficult to support. Three placings from nine starts around 1400m offer only limited encouragement, and he must produce a sharper fresh run.

Was safely held when tenth over 1200m at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths and unwanted in the market. His fifth in A2 company the run before was also by more than 10 lengths, despite working home evenly. Two wins at this track and distance show he is not misplaced on conditions, but recent figures leave him with a sizeable task against sharper rivals.

Was eighth over 1200m at this track last start, beaten just under eight lengths after having too much ground to make up, though he was fair through the line. His fifth behind Little Bighorn two runs back was more competitive, beaten just over two lengths at generous odds. He has placed twice from four at this track and distance and profiles as a realistic minor player.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after a fifth in B2 grade at this track, beaten just over three lengths at big odds while making strong late ground. The run prior was a solid third, beaten just over a length, again from big odds. Her track-and-distance record is respectable enough, but the long absence and lack of recent winning form make this a demanding return.

Finished second last over 1200m at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. His previous fourth in A2 company was also beaten over 10 lengths and came when unwanted in the market. He has been unplaced in all 10 starts over the past 12 months, so a major form reversal is required.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing second last at this track over 1650m, beaten out of sight when unwanted in the market. His previous run was a fifth in A2B1 company over 1600m, beaten just under six lengths after picking up nicely late. He has placed at this track and distance, but the latest run leaves him with too much to prove here.

Comments

Produced an eye-catching fourth over 1200m at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths at big odds after having many lengths to make up. That was a better effort than his previous A2 sixth, where he was beaten over 12 lengths and did not quicken. The win strike rate is modest, but his latest finish gives him enough grounding to be considered for a placing.

Returns from a four-month break after closing last campaign with a fourth in B1 company at this track, beaten just over four lengths when unable to finish it off. Her previous fifth over 1200m was sound enough, battling on despite starting at generous odds. A win and a placing from four runs at this track and distance give her a base for a minor claim fresh.

Made it two wins from two this campaign when taking a B1 at this track last start, beating Omasa by two lengths after driving hard late. He had earlier won a B2 here by a neck as a well-supported favourite, showing he can produce under pressure. With 10 wins and two placings from 12 starts overall, plus three from three at this track and distance, he is a serious winning threat again.

Comes off a strong first-up win in B3 grade at this track, beating Running Beach by just under two lengths and again starting near the top of betting. His previous appearance was also a win here, defeating World Aim by half a length. Three wins and a placing from four runs at this track and distance underline the suitability, and he looks a genuine winning chance.

Was ninth over 1200m at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths at generous odds after giving away too much start and only working home fairly. His sixth in B2B3 company before that was similar, beaten just under seven lengths. A career record of two wins from 70 starts and no placings from seven track-and-distance runs make him hard to recommend.

Comments

Finished last in a B2 over 1800m at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths when unwanted in the market. The start prior was little better, finishing second last behind Nine Esquire and beaten just under 10 lengths at big odds. Returning to a winning distance helps in theory, but one win from 54 starts and current form leave him well down the order.
