Tokyo Race 9 - Hiyoshi Tokubetsu
OTACHI (3) fought on for second last start over 2400m at Nakayama Dirt, making it three minor placings in a row. Strong effort last time in a similar race and expected to go one better. TAISEI KAISER (8) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 2 lengths. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. DURA ETERNO (7) has been thereabouts since scoring at Kyoto Dirt on November 30, the latest effort a fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. S Hamanaka has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Certainly one to consider. IMPERIAL LINE (1) finished second at this track and distance at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Worth plenty of thought.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 11 at Nakayama Dirt on April 19 over 1800m, 2.5 len behind Sanono Wonder with 58.0kg at $6.50. The race before that 4th of 13 at Hanshin Dirt on February 21 over 1800m, 1.4 len behind Satomino Angel carrying 57.0kg at $2.70. Not far from winner at his last appearance and rates highly.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 43 day letup. Resuming won by 1.75 len at Hanshin Dirt March 8 over 2000m defeating Nicht Zu Sehr carrying 58.0kg at $4.60. Second run from a spell came from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Hanshin Dirt on March 28 over 2000m, 2 len behind Gylfi carrying 58.0kg at $6.30. Racing well. This race is well within his grasp and will be winding up strongly.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming sat on the pace before fading 11th of 16 at Chukyo Dirt on March 22 over 1900m, 7 len behind Taisei Addict carrying 58.0kg at $61.30. Second run from a spell 9th of 12 at Nakayama Dirt on April 12 over 2400m, 11 len behind Indicator carrying 55.0kg at $29.50. Can't make much of a case.
