Tokyo Race 9 - Hyacinth Stakes (L)
LUXOR CAFE (9) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 5 lengths win over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Big chance to chalk up the hat trick. ADMIRE DAYTONA (8) won his maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 4 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tricky draw to overcome but he should be in the finish again. DRAGON (5) is a last-start winner five weeks ago, scoring by 9 lengths over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Looks very smart and is one of the key contenders. HAPPY MAN (1) is a progressive three-year-old colt who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1600m at Kawasaki on December 11. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Tackles a superior field but can run a bold race.
