Tokyo Race 3 - Mdn Race
PLATINA LEAF (12) sets the standard after a sound debut second at Nakayama Dirt, where he was beaten just over a length after tracking the speed and working home evenly. The 1600m is new, but that race experience, market respect and close margin give him the clearest winning platform. NOSHERY (11) is the main danger on consistency, having placed at his past two starts and finished second to Winter Breeze last time after again being respected in an open market. LEGGERANZA (8) resumes after being favourite on debut at Fukushima and beaten just under two lengths when fourth, so his exposed form is stronger than the bare placing suggests. FLAME OF KING (13) was safely held on debut but was only beaten just under four lengths at Nakayama Dirt, and Christophe Lemaire going on keeps him firmly in the winning mix.

Resumes after three months away following a plain debut at Niigata, where he finished last in a 2yo NEWCOMER and was beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds. He was in touch early but was gone soon after and offered little. The class drop gives him a softer setting, but his only race evidence leaves him with a sizeable improvement task.

Resumes after a four-month break following a well-held debut at Fukushima, finishing tenth and beaten just over nine lengths behind Win Wagner. He was at long odds there and offered little late, while Leggeranza had his measure in the same race. Barrier two and a leading jockey help the set-up, so a sharper return can put him into the minor-money mix.

Second-up after a tough debut at Nakayama Dirt, where he faded late and finished tenth, beaten over 14 lengths behind Merton Grace. He was not friendless at generous odds, but there was no clear excuse and Flame Of King came through the same race in better shape. The class drop assists, though he will have to show much more finish to threaten.

Has been well beaten in two 1200m runs at Nakayama Dirt, most recently finishing last behind Ammitsu when beaten over 20 lengths at long odds. His debut was also plain, fading after being in touch and finishing second last. Race fitness is there third-up, but the new 1600m test comes off very limited exposed form.

Resumes after three months off following a fifth on debut at Niigata, beaten seven and a half lengths behind Beau Decor. He was unwanted in the market but did make some late ground from a long way back, even though he was never likely to feature. That gives him some foundation, but he still has to turn a fair debut into a competitive maiden effort.

Back after six weeks since a fourth on debut at Niigata Dirt, where he was beaten over 11 lengths behind Uranographia. The margin was sizeable, but he kept to the task in the run home and now gets Kosei Miura aboard. This is a more suitable maiden assignment, and any natural second-start improvement would make him a genuine place player.

Has finished a long way from the winner in both starts, including a distant last behind Winter Breeze at Nakayama Dirt when sent out at big odds. He did pass tired runners from well back, but he was never likely to feature, and Noshery was clearly superior in that race. Third-up fitness is a plus, but he has to make a major leap.

Resumes after a four-month break having run fourth on debut at Fukushima, beaten just under two lengths by Win Wagner as favourite. He battled on well in the straight and beat Margot Paradis comfortably in that race, so the performance has genuine merit. Despite missing a place, that debut reads well enough to make him a strong winning hope fresh.

Finished seventh at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten nine and a half lengths behind Fabric after settling rearward. His debut at Niigata Dirt was also safely held, beaten over 13 lengths behind Jasper Trueno after failing to make headway. He is fitter third-up, but the recent form lacks the closing strength required here.

Tailed off at Nakayama Dirt last start behind Winter Breeze after having the job ahead and failing to close the race off. That followed a sixth at Niigata Dirt, beaten over 14 lengths behind Uranographia, when only fair through the line. He is race fit third-up, but the latest effort leaves him hard to support with confidence.

Brings the most reliable exposed form, finishing second at Nakayama Dirt last start when beaten three lengths by Winter Breeze after settling rearward. That followed a third at Niigata, beaten two and a half lengths by Resolutio, and he has been respected in both markets. Yet to race around 1600m, but his consistency makes him a serious winning chance.

Made an excellent debut at Nakayama Dirt, tracking the speed and working home evenly for second, beaten just over a length by Mor Sourire in a 2yo NEWCOMER. He was near the top of betting there and now has race experience to build on. The 1600m is new, but his debut profile is the strongest in the race and he looks the one to beat.

Finished fifth on debut at Nakayama Dirt, beaten just under four lengths behind Merton Grace after starting near the top of an open market. He was safely held, but the margin was still sound for a first outing and he finished ahead of several rivals from that race. With Christophe Lemaire taking the ride, he has clear scope to improve into the finish.

Was never a factor on debut at Nakayama, finishing ninth and beaten over 14 lengths behind Mieno Vivid after being unwanted in the market. He had many lengths to make up and never looked likely, so there was little hidden merit in the run. The class drop helps only marginally unless he finds a much sharper finishing effort.

He was at long odds and Flame Of King had him covered in the same race, but the margin was not hopeless for a first start. With Hironobu Tanabe aboard, he can improve enough to press for a placing.

Was never competitive behind Winter Breeze at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten out of sight after having many lengths to make up. His previous fourth behind My Saver was better, beaten five lengths, but that came at big odds and he again settled rearward. He is fitter now, though the latest run makes him difficult to trust as a winning threat.
