Tokyo Race 9 - Inagi Tokubetsu
UP HELLY AA (10) is a handy type who resumes after a break of ten weeks. At his last appearance he finished fourth over 1800m in the G3 Mainichi Hai at Hanshin, beaten 4 lengths. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Can make a winning return. IBUKI (12) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 2400m at this track. Has found the frame at all five visits to this track, including a win. Leading contender. ELLIPTIC CURVE (8) drifted back over 1800m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can figure in the finish. VOUTE CELESTE (3) is back from a spell of seven months. Won on debut at the only appearance to date, scoring in a 2000m contest at this track by a neck. Hard to knock.

Resuming after a break of 12 weeks. Finished off last preparation fourth of 10 at Nakayama March 14 over 2500m, 2 len behind Danon Picture with 58.0kg at $7.80. When resuming last campaign fifth of 14 at this track February 15 over 2400m, 2 len behind Timur carrying 58.0kg at $18.50. Doesn't appeal.

Racing well recently. Last start favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track May 9 over 2400m defeating Bombon Baby carrying 57.0kg at $2.70. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Nakayama on March 29 over 2200m, neck behind King Glory with 57.0kg at $5. Last-start maiden winner who can measure up.
