Tokyo Race 11 - Sleipnir Stakes
KAZU TANJA (1) is a last start winner over 2100m at this track, making it two victories on the bounce. Reunites with Yuga Kawada who has never missed the frame from six rides, including two wins. Best form puts him right in this. ASSURBANIPAL (8) finished seventh when resuming from a spell last start over 2100m at Listed level at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Worth noting Christophe Lemaire goes aboard as the combination has worked well in the past. Drops back in grade. Sure to run well. PURE CIAN (2) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 2100m in stakes class at this track, finishing third and beaten 1.3 lengths at $32.60. Has a high cruising speed. Will be in this for a long way. COURS MIRABEAU (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.

The start before that 11th of 15 at Nakayama Dirt in the G3 March Stakes on March 30 over 1800m, 9 len behind Brian Sense with 55.0kg at $18.20. Well placed to take this out.

Comes here off a 48-day let-up. Most recently raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 16 at this track in LR on May 4 over 2100m, 11 len behind Deep Reborn carrying 57.0kg at $193.40. The start before that 11th of 13 at Kawasaki on April 9 over 2100m, 14 len behind Meisho Hario carrying 57kg at $95.60. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
