Tokyo Race 4 - Maiden Race
SATONO STARLIGHT (4) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish fourth over 2000m at this track. Racing well. Has strong claims to break through, especially if the main danger is giving a big start. CLAIRE NOA (14) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 2000m at Nakayama. Has a huge finish. Drawn out but hard to hold out fresh. DANON ASCOLTI (16) resumes from a spell of three months and is having her first outing under new trainer Masahiro Otake. Finished sixth at this track over 1800m at the opening run last time in work. Well-placed and is among the chances. BEAR SANAECHAN (8) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Should be about the money.

At the latest run ran on from midfield; 5th of 18 at this track on May 3 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Montouliers carrying 55.0kg at $4.70. The race before that 4th of 15 at Nakayama on April 11 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Civitas carrying 55.0kg at $11.20. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.
