Tokyo Race 2 - Mdn Race
INTERLAGOS (4) is the top selection despite finishing sixth on debut, because that Niigata 2yo Newcomer run had more merit than the result alone: she was respected in betting, kept working after having the job ahead, and now drops into maiden grade with Christophe Lemaire booked. The 2000m is new, but her family gives confidence she can improve into it. ROSE PREMIERE (6) brings the cleanest exposed form, having placed at both starts and missing by a neck at Sapporo last time as a well-supported favourite. SCIA LUNARE (8) made a strong move forward when second to La Garriga at Niigata and has already placed at this trip, so he is a genuine winning danger if holding that level after the let-up. LARCO (2) was solid on debut when fourth at Nakayama, had market respect, and her pedigree offers scope for 2000m, though she still has to turn that first run into sharper race pressure.

Worked home evenly when sixth at Nakayama last start, beaten just over five lengths after being near the top of an open market. His previous Niigata run had more late merit from well back, but he was still beaten seven lengths and Scia Lunare has the stronger line from that race. The class drop and third-up fitness help, yet he must find a sharper finish to threaten the main hopes.

Made a fair debut when fourth in a 2yo NEWCOMER over 1800m at Nakayama, beaten three and a half lengths after settling handy and starting near the top of betting. She now gets into maiden grade and should take natural benefit second-up. The 2000m is untried, so that is the query, but the first run gives her a genuine place profile with scope to improve.

Resumes after three months off following a fifth on debut in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Niigata Dirt, where he was beaten over 14 lengths but did work home fairly from a long way back. That form leaves him with ground to make up, and the 2000m on turf is new. With Akihide Tsumura aboard and scope from one run, he can improve enough to chase a minor placing.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing sixth in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Niigata, beaten six lengths, but there were positives in the way she kept working after being set a task. She was respected in betting there, now drops into maiden grade and gains Christophe Lemaire. The 2000m is new, yet her family profile is encouraging and she gets a strong chance to improve into the winner's circle.

Picked up nicely in the straight on debut when fifth in a 2yo NEWCOMER over 1800m at Nakayama, beaten six lengths after starting at generous odds. That gives him some base to build from second-up, and the move into maiden grade is suitable. The step to an untried 2000m asks for more, so he profiles as a place hope rather than a leading winning chance.

Has done everything but win in two starts, finishing second on debut at Sapporo before being pipped by a neck there last time as a well-supported favourite. He has already placed at this distance and reaches the third run of his campaign with solid race fitness. The beaten-favourite tag is a small caution, but his consistency and recent rating make him a major winning chance.

Was safely held on debut in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Nakayama, finishing seventh and beaten over 13 lengths after being close enough before fading through the run home. He was unwanted in the market and there was no clear excuse in the performance. The class drop is some help, but he has to produce a much stronger closing effort to get involved.

Returns from a two-month let-up after a sharp second at Niigata, beaten just under a length by La Garriga after tracking the speed and fighting on well. That was a clear lift from his Fukushima fifth, where he failed to finish off. He has placed at this distance and has already placed with Keita Tosaki, so the latest form reads strongly for this maiden.

Resumes after three months off following two heavy defeats, the latest when last at Fukushima Dirt and finished well held at big odds. Her debut on turf was also poor, beaten over 17 lengths after settling rearward and weakening. The 2000m is untried, and even with a class drop she has a major form turnaround in front of her.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a much better third at Niigata, beaten just over a length by Nishino Lyrics after being run down late. That was a clear step forward from her debut eighth at Fukushima, where she settled rearward and was beaten just over seven lengths. She has placed at this distance and looks a realistic minor-money hope third-up.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing third at Niigata, though she was beaten five lengths and unwanted in the market. Her debut sixth over 1600m had merit on margin, but she did not quicken after settling handy. The 2000m is new, while the proven placing with Y Iwata is a small positive. She can run into the minors if progressing again.
