Tokyo Race 9 - Freesia Sho
TRIPLE CORK (3) settled back before coming home strongly to score as favourite on debut over 2000m at Nakayama ten weeks ago and has not been produced since. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. DANON CIMA (5) is a promising colt yet to miss the frame in two starts, including a win. Has not been produced since he scored over 2000m at Kyoto on December 7. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. VALKYRIE BIRTH (4) is back from a spell of six months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 2000m contest at Niigata by a neck. Among the main hopes. FUKUNO BLUE LAKE (7) has not been sighted since he scored over 2000m at Nakayama on November 30. One of the leading contenders.

Second run back. Comes off a 62-day let-up. First-up after three months won by a nose at Nakayama Dirt December 22 over 1800m defeating Bretwalda with 56.0kg at $4.60. Previously second-up 3rd of 14 at Sapporo Dirt on August 31 over 1700m, 9 len behind Arrow Of Light carrying 55.0kg at $5.60. This is tougher so prefer others.
