Tokyo Race 11 - Tokyo

EMPEROR WAKEA (1) last appeared when he started $1.70 and got home by a length in the Grade 3 Musashino Stakes over this course and distance. Tackling this level for the first time but his numbers suggest he is up to the task. COSTA NOVA (9) resumed in the Grade 3 Negishi Stakes last time out over 1400m at this track and belted his rivals by four lengths. The winner of three from four at this trip. New to the elite company but looks ready. MIKKI FIGHT (14) is first-up since success over 2000m at Nagoya on 19 December. Has won up to Grade 3 level so this is his biggest test. Worth following. PEPTIDE NILE (11) is the reigning champ, scoring by 1.3 lengths at huge odds here in 2024. Fair effort in the Champions Cup over 1800m at Chukyo Dirst last time. Cannot be underestimated.

Second-up. First-up after three months didn't finish the race at this track in the G3 Negishi Stakes February 2 over 1400m. Previously second-up won by a nose at Saga November 4 over 1400m defeating Chikappa carrying 57kg at $9.20. Unlikely to threaten.
