Tokyo Race 1 - Mdn Race
DANON DAX (3) Back from a break. Missed by a narrow margin last start at Niigata and having second race start. Jockey Christophe Patrice Lemaire is a bonus. Should go well. EPIC JOURNEY (11) Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by 4L last run at Niigata and having second career run. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. INITIAL POINT (12) Showed some merit late when 5th last time at Nakayama. Has to be included. MISTY BEACON (10) Just missed last start at Hanshin and was on debut last time. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Must respect.

Has been well held in both starts, most recently tenth at Nakayama over 1600m when beaten over 19 lengths after settling rearward at big odds. Her debut at the same venue was no stronger, finishing 12th and beaten over 17 lengths after conceding a huge start. Race fitness and a class drop are positives in a limited sense, but she has to produce a much sharper finish to get involved.

Comes through three unplaced runs and the latest was plain, finishing eighth at Nakayama over 1600m when beaten over 15 lengths and unwanted in the market. She was also safely held at Sapporo the run prior, giving ground after racing in touch. Fourth-up fitness is in her favour, but recent figures leave her with a sizeable gap to bridge.

Returns from a three-month break after a debut second at Niigata, beaten a nose after picking up impressively from off the speed. He was a dominant favourite at a very short odds-on quote, so the defeat was costly, but the performance still had clear quality. With Christophe Lemaire aboard, barrier three and strong family depth behind him, he has the right profile to break through.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fourth on debut at Niigata, beaten just over three lengths by Nishino Toranosuke. He settled handy there and showed enough race sense to suggest he can hold a forward position again. The 1800m remains unproven, but that first outing reads as a solid base for a minor-money push.

Was never a factor on debut at Nakayama, finishing seventh and beaten over 12 lengths after giving away a big start in the straight. She was big odds there, so the market gave little encouragement, but she is still lightly raced and can take natural improvement second-up. A sharp lift is required, though she can sneak into the minor-money mix if that debut experience brings her on.

Returns from a four-month break after being beaten over 10 lengths at Fukushima, where he settled rearward and made no impression late. His debut in a small field was also safely held, finishing last and beaten over 12 lengths despite working home only fairly. He is unplaced in both starts and has already missed the frame at this distance, so others present stronger claims.

Was tailed off on debut at Nakayama over 2000m, settling rearward and giving further ground in a weak run to the line. She was unwanted in the market and that performance is difficult to dress up, even with weight relief and a class drop now in play. The lighter impost may help, but she must show a completely different level of competitiveness.

Was second last at Nakayama over 1600m last week, beaten a long way after fading late and again unwanted in betting. His debut at Fukushima offered only limited encouragement, as he was ninth and beaten over 10 lengths after having many lengths to make up. The quick back-up and first try around 1800m add further questions, so he looks up against it.

Made little impact on debut at Nakayama over 1600m, finishing tenth and beaten just under ten lengths after getting a long way back at long odds. She now tackles 1800m for the first time, which asks another question, but she is a lightly raced filly with scope to improve from the experience. A place finish is possible only if she settles closer and finishes off better.

Was narrowly denied on debut at Hanshin over 2000m, finishing second to Meiner Grimoire and beaten a nose after being pipped at the post. That came at generous odds in a small field, but the performance still gives him one of the better exposed form lines. Coming back to 1800m is the query, yet he has already shown enough staying substance to be a genuine place hope.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a debut third at Niigata, beaten four lengths by Korallion after working home evenly. He has already placed at 1800m, which is a useful edge in a field where several are still untested at the trip. With that race experience and a sound distance reference, he has enough upside to be right in the winning mix.

Comes to her third run after a fifth at Nakayama over 1600m, where she was beaten seven lengths but kept working after having the job ahead. Her debut second on Niigata Dirt was stronger, finishing within a length of Mikamitchi when near the top of betting. The new 1800m task is a consideration, but race fitness and consistent ratings keep her firmly among the main chances.
