Tokyo Race 10 - Shosenkyo Stakes
BADRINATH (1) brings the strongest recent form through an eighth in the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial), where he was beaten three and a half lengths by Justin Chicago after settling well back. His fourth in the G3 Radio Nikkei Sho two runs ago also reads well for this company, and the first look at 2400m is the main query rather than a knock. RED BANDE (11) resumes with a strong this-track-and-distance profile, having won an ALLOW at this venue by a length and a half before a plain G2 Hanshin Daishoten run. SHONAN SOMEDAY (2) was below her best at Nakayama, but her Sapporo third when beaten just under a length keeps her firmly in the winning mix if she handles another try around 2400m. BENSALEM (6) has place appeal through his track-and-trip record, though his latest fifth at Niigata and a poor prior run at this venue leave him with more to prove than the main trio.

Second-up after tackling the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial), finishing eighth at Nakayama and beaten three and a half lengths by Justin Chicago after settling rearward. His fourth in the G3 Radio Nikkei Sho two back was a strong Open form reference, and weight relief helps. The first go around 2400m is the question, but his black-type form gives him a strong winning platform.

Returns from a one-month break after finishing sixth at Nakayama, beaten just over five lengths on rain-affected ground, though she did pick up in the straight. The run prior was much stronger, a Sapporo third when beaten just under a length after being near the top of betting. She has one unplaced try around 2400m, but her race fitness and consistent overall profile keep her high in calculations.

Returns from a three-month break after two plain sevenths, most recently at Niigata when unwanted in the market and beaten four and a half lengths by Reichsadler. He has won at this track and owns a solid overall place record, but the latest efforts lacked threat and he was never a winning hope two back at Hanshin. A sharper return is required to trouble the better chances.

Returns from a six-month spell after being well held in the G1 Tenno Sho (Spring), finishing 13th at Kyoto and beaten over 14 lengths when unwanted in betting. That was a tough assignment, and he is two from two at 2400m with a prior win at this track. Those positives give him some footing, but he still has to rediscover far more authority than he showed before the break.

Returns from a six-month spell after a seventh at Kyoto, beaten just over three lengths at generous odds and merely holding his ground late. Earlier in that campaign he won an ALLOW over 2200m at Kyoto, scoring by a length from Askcommentallezvou. His 2400m record is sound and the jockey combination has worked before, but he resumes needing a stronger finishing edge.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fifth first-up at Niigata, beaten four and a half lengths by Shadow Meteor after being right there but unable to go on. His previous run at this venue was a heavy defeat, yet he is a track-and-trip winner and has a strong overall strike rate. Current form is the sticking point, so he profiles as a place hope if that freshen-up has sharpened him.

Returns from a four-month break after an eighth at this track, beaten six and a half lengths by Red Teleos after settling rearward. Her previous sixth at this venue was better, beaten just under three lengths when near the top of betting, and she has a win and a place from five starts at this track and distance. The profile has merit, but recent finishing strength has to improve.

Comes back quickly after a 14th at Kyoto last week, beaten five and a half lengths by Wismar when unwanted in the market and unable to make any impression from well back. He also struggled at this venue two runs ago, beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. The track-and-distance win keeps him in the minor-money discussion, but his recent form is hard to endorse beyond that.

Returns from a three-month break after a respectable fifth in Open grade at Niigata, beaten just over two lengths by Estupenda after having the drop on the leaders. She had been similarly close at Fukushima before that, so her margins are not poor. However, she has not raced around 2400m before and must prove she can carry that form to this trip first-up.

Second-up after finishing sixth at Hanshin, beaten two and a half lengths by Joy Boy at long odds, and he was only fair through the line. The start prior showed his better side when he came from a difficult spot to beat Stella Crown by a length and a half. With one win and three placings from five starts around 2400m, he has the right distance base for a genuine place claim.

Returns from an eight-month spell with strong this-track-and-distance credentials, including two wins from three attempts in that specific set-up. He was plain when seventh in the G2 Hanshin Daishoten at Hanshin, beaten over 11 lengths by Admire Terra, but that came after a decisive ALLOW win at this venue as odds-on favourite. With Christophe Lemaire aboard, he commands serious respect fresh.
