Tokyo Race 3 - Tokyo 3r
SWORD OF STATE (2) makes strong appeal on debut for N Hori, whose first-starter record shows 10 placings from 20 runners, and the Maurice-Regina D'oro colt draws kindly in barrier 2 with Hironobu Tanabe engaged. MADEIRA CITRINE (12) is the obvious danger with Christophe Lemaire, the leading track rider and a G1-winning jockey, taking the mount for Katsuharu Tanaka; her half-sister Heena Schaum debuted sixth over 1400m at Niigata. ELEVEN ROSE (10) brings a sharper international pedigree angle, being by Uncle Mo and a half-sister to Listed Wintergreen S. winner Ms Quality Control, with Takeshi Yokoyama another major riding asset. TANTA FELICIA (7) has depth through the Red Mimosa family, including Forzare and Emeral Apollon, and the Kazuo Yokoyama-Takanori Tezuka pairing gives her enough substance to run well first time out.

Debuts as a Win Bright filly from Regain, with barrier 1 giving her a straightforward starting point. The family profile is modest, as full siblings Win Revival and Win Reflect are still winless and both were well back on debut. Hidekatsu Shimizu has placed with 3 of 28 first starters, so she would have to show more than the immediate pedigree record suggests.

Starts his career with one of the better debut profiles in the race. The Maurice colt is out of Regina D'oro and comes from the N Hori stable, which has placed 10 of 20 debut runners, while the trainer-sire record is 13 wins from 93 starters. La Princesse was runner-up on debut over 1600m at Niigata and later won at Chukyo, and barrier 2 adds to a strong winning platform.

Makes her first race appearance as a Suave Richard filly from Demmi and was sold through the 2025 Hokkaido Autumn Sale Yearlings for 3,960,000. The Fuminmasa Takahashi debut record is light, with 1 placing from 23 first starters, and the trainer-sire sample has yet to produce a placing. She has a kind barrier, but others bring stronger debut credentials.

Begins from barrier 4 as an Isla Bonita filly out of King And Queen. The dam has produced several winners, notably Tokushi Kaiser, who won at Tokyo over 1800m and also recorded 1400m dirt wins, while his debut second at Tokyo is a useful family reference. Yusuke Wada's debut strike rate is modest, so she profiles as one requiring a positive market or sharp race-day professionalism.

Opens her career by Declaration Of War from Diletto, with Masahiro Takeuchi having a fair debut record of 2 wins and 9 placings from 26 first starters. The dam's exposed runners Honey Delight and Raum Strahl are both winless, and their debut efforts were only plain. That stable record offers some encouragement, but the pedigree evidence is not strong enough to elevate her here.

Debuts for Yoshinori Muto as a Rey De Oro colt from Opal Charme. The stable's general debut record is quiet, with no wins or placings from 27 first starters, but the trainer-sire combination is more encouraging at 2 wins and 4 placings from 9 runners. That sharper niche statistic gives him some interest, although he still sits below the main debut profiles.

Steps out as an Efforia filly from Red Mimosa and has enough family production to command respect. Forzare won first time out over 1400m at Nagoya and later won twice, while Emeral Apollon developed into a 12-time winner. Takanori Tezuka has placed 4 of 14 debut runners and Kazuo Yokoyama is a G1-winning jockey, so she has a sound profile for a bold first-up showing.

Makes his debut with one of the deepest pedigrees in the field, being by Contrail from Turfdonna. Half-sister Elizabeth Tower won on debut at Hanshin over 1600m and later took the G2 The Tulip Sho, while Honey Dress and Hrungnir add further winning depth. Yuki Uehara's Contrail sample is also strong, with 2 wins from 6, making him a serious first-start chance.

Begins as a Win Bright colt out of Platina Tailor, purchased for 1,100,000 at the 2025 Hokkaido Autumn Sale Yearlings. The dam has produced multiple winners, including Aya with 8 wins, and Oro Blanco was a debut winner over 1200m at Ohi. Hitoshi Kotegawa's first-starter numbers are only moderate, leaving him as a runner who has family depth but must translate it immediately.

Debuts with a notable international profile, being a USA-bred Uncle Mo filly from A Bit Special. Her half-sister Ms Quality Control won the Listed Wintergreen S. and was Listed placed in the Allen Black Cat LaCombe Memorial S., giving the pedigree genuine quality. Toru Kurita has 6 wins from 40 debut runners and Takeshi Yokoyama is a leading track rider, so she rates highly.

Starts out as a Gendarme filly from Ultima Ligure and has Kosei Miura aboard, a G1-winning jockey with a solid track ranking. Takayuki Kato's debut record is workable, with 3 wins and 6 placings from 25 first starters. The one sibling reference, Canakkale, was 12th on debut over 1400m at Kyoto, so she appeals more as a place contender than a clear top pick.

Debuts with a major riding asset in Christophe Lemaire, the leading track jockey and a G1-winning rider, which is a key pointer in a newcomer race. The Suave Richard filly is out of Meerschaum, and half-sister Heena Schaum debuted sixth over 1400m at Niigata. Katsuharu Tanaka has placed 6 of 25 first starters, and this filly has enough around her to be a strong chance.

Makes his race debut by Mr Melody from Oshu Homare, starting from a wider barrier in 13. Toshiaki Tajima has placed 9 of 34 debut runners, which is a fair enough base, but the trainer-sire combination is 0 from 2 with no placings and there is little sibling evidence to strengthen the case. He looks one who must exceed the available profile to threaten.

Debuts as a Leontes colt from La Stella, and the trainer-sire combination is the clear positive, producing 16 placings from 41 runners. The wider barrier is not ideal, while the dam's exposed runners have not offered much early spark, including Heaven's Sound eighth on debut over 1600m at Tokyo. He has place claims if that Leontes stable pattern carries through.

Comes to the races as a Roger Barows filly from Cuban Rhythm, purchased for 2,530,000 at the 2025 Hokkaido Autumn Sale Yearlings. The family is extensive and has produced debut winners Pride Is Messiah, Red Card and Akane Seiko, plus city winners over longer trips. Shoichi Temma's first-starter record is modest, so the pedigree offers interest while the stable profile keeps expectations measured.

Starts from barrier 16 as a Rey De Oro colt out of Tomoja Prima, carrying 54kg. The dam has already produced Tomoja Ollie, who was runner-up on debut over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt and later won at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m for the same trainer. N Suzuki has 6 placings from 22 first starters, so there is enough family and stable context to make him a place hope.

Debuts by Discreet Cat from Nerissa for K Seishi, a G1-winning trainer, but the available debut numbers are difficult to recommend. The stable is without a win or placing from 26 first starters, and the trainer-sire combination is also 0 from 6 with no placings. With no sibling pointers to offset that, he appears to face a stern first assignment.

Lines up first time out from the outside barrier as a Danon Legend colt from Adriane. The family has produced several winners, including Motivation, who won three times and placed second on debut over 1500m at Sapporo, while Minazuki was also runner-up on debut over 1800m at Tokyo. Akihide Tsumura is a strong booking, but the stable debut record tempers the winning case.
