Tokyo City Keiba Race 9 - Race 9 - 1600

VULTURE STAR (12) Competitive effort when 3rd last start at the track and have to respect the form at the trip. Jockey Tsubasa Sasagawa and trainer Naoyuki Matoba can't be overlooked. Suitably placed in this race. ADMIRE EAR (13) Won narrowly by a nose last start here. Has the speed to overcome the wide alley. Added confidence with Takayuki Yano doing the steering. Must be considered. KNIGHT WARRIOR (7) Was agonizingly close last time at the track and form has been improving over recent runs. Should be going forward early. Going well this campaign. Could be value. WEST LEADER (9) Got the upper hand late when winning by 1/2L last run around here and will be well suited at the trip. Racing consistently this campaign. Could work into the placings.

Had every chance when sixth at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths by Kaseno Lupus after being only fair to the line. That came after a much better second to Tiered, beaten a head at generous odds. The 1600m record shows 13 tries for six placings without a win, so she profiles as a genuine place hope rather than a strong winning push.

Finished ninth in a C1C2 at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Binnada as an outside chance in betting. His previous fifth over 1800m was similar on margin and came after settling rearward when unwanted in the market. The class drop offers some help, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Was not disgraced when sixth in a C1C2 at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths, but that followed a seventh behind Agile Black where he was beaten over 12 lengths and failed to finish it off. He is a track-and-distance winner and gets the winning rider back, yet the recent profile still asks for a clearer turnaround.

Worked home from an impossible position when fifth over 1400m at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Lugalbanda at long odds. He had been second last two back over 1200m, beaten over 15 lengths, so the form base remains thin. Third-up improvement is possible, but his only 1600m try brought no placing.

Dropped out to finish eighth behind Kaseno Lupus last start, beaten just over nine lengths at long odds with no clear excuse. The counterpoint is a big-priced win the run prior, when she beat Binnada by a neck and also had Knight Warrior and West Leader behind her. Her track-and-distance record is sound, but she must rebound strongly.

Resumed with a second-last finish over 1200m at this track, beaten over 13 lengths by Heishirin at big odds after never getting into the race. His run before the break was another heavy defeat, beaten over 18 lengths behind Kitasan Unison. A return to 1600m helps on old form, but current figures are well short.

Went down narrowly to Admire Ear at this track last start, finishing second and beaten a head after being near the top of betting. He had also been solid when third to Yuyu Starry, beaten just over a length. With two wins and four placings from 14 starts at this track and distance, he brings reliable form and looks a serious winning chance.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth to Tiered at this track, beaten three lengths when near the top of an open market. The run prior was another sound effort when fourth, beaten two and a half lengths. Her 1600m record is more consistent than brilliant, but the 51kg and proven track-and-distance grounding make her the one to beat.

Back after four weeks since winning at this track, holding a narrow lead and finding enough to beat Bernard Handsome by half a length. He was below his best the run prior behind Yuyu Starry, but the broader record is hard to dismiss: ten wins from 22 overall and six wins from eleven at this track and distance. Commands respect again.

Has placed at his past three starts, most recently second to Kaseno Lupus at this track when beaten just under a length. Two back he kept finding for third behind Agile Black despite having work to do. The concern is the winless 17-start career record, but his consistency at this venue keeps him in the placing discussion.

Improved sharply in a C1C2 at this track last start, finishing fifth to Binnada and beaten just over a length as an outside chance in betting. His previous fifth behind Agile Black was much weaker, beaten over 10 lengths at big odds. Proven at this track and distance, he has enough to be competitive for a minor cheque.

Kept finding for third behind Kaseno Lupus at this track last start, beaten just over a length after sitting close to the leaders. He was favourite two back over 1400m and could only finish fourth, beaten three and a half lengths. His wider record is strong, with six wins from 13 overall, so he remains a genuine place hope.

Resumed in winning style at this track, beating Knight Warrior by a head as the short odds-on favourite. That confirmed his strong affinity with these conditions, with two wins and one placing from three starts at this track and distance. He also has an excellent record with Takayuki Yano, and there is enough quality to repeat the result.

Ran fourth behind Kaseno Lupus at this track last start, beaten five lengths at big odds after getting a good run and trying hard. That was a better effort than her previous last behind Chandelier Song, where she was beaten over 16 lengths. However, she is unplaced in six starts at this venue and still has to find more.
