Tokyo Race 9 - Takanosuyama Tokubetsu

KING NO JO (3) is a promising galloper who got the prize at his only run last prep four-and-a-half months ago over 1600m at this track. Unbeaten here and both wins have been while fresh. Christophe Lemaire who has two wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. MATENRO BAROWS (12) was well held in the TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho (Japanese Derby Trial) won by Energico over 2400m at this track at his last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope. STRAIGHT TALKER (16) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on June 15 when second, beaten a neck. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. DAWN CHORUS (6) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at Niigata to kick off the last campaign.Super consistent and does go well fresh.

Resuming. Only had one start last preparation 2nd of 10 at this track on June 15 over 1600m, neck behind Gutenberg with 55.0kg at $4.70. Won previous preparation first up won by 1.3 len at Nakayama January 6 over 1600m defeating Bellagio World with 57.0kg at $5.30. Tricky gate but has the ability. Anticipating a bright start to this prep.
