Tokyo Race 9 - Ashinoko Tokubetsu
FUJI GAIFU (4) was fresh from a two months break last start and scored by 1.5 lengths at this track. Building a strong record this course and distance. Sure to run well. T O AL AIN (1) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1800m in the LR SHIRAYURI STAKES at Kyoto. Has the talent to go a couple better. COOL DAYTONA (11) returns from a spell of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 1600m in the G3 Churchill Downs (Arlington) Cup at Hanshin. Comes here with definite top-three claims. MEANT TO BE (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1800m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
