Tokyo Race 11 - October Stakes(L)
MIKKI GOLD (16) is the one to beat despite a plain eighth in the G3 Challenge Cup at Hanshin, with his prior Chukyo win and strong 2000m record giving him the most reliable profile among the main hopes. ASK SEXY MORE (2) is a genuine threat fresh, having been beaten just under two lengths in the G2 Meguro Kinen and boasting a good record at this venue, including a prior win over MIKKI GOLD. MEISHO HACHIKO (1) brings strong upside as a lightly raced three-year-old, with a Listed win at this track before his G1 Japanese Derby run, and his 2000m record reads well. DEE MY THE KID (9) has recent form queries, but his track-and-distance credentials and overall 2000m profile keep him firmly in the winning mix.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing 13th in the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) at this track, beaten just over six lengths after settling prominently and coming under pressure late. His win prior in a Listed race at this venue, beating Justin Chicago by half a length, is the stronger guide. With two wins from three starts around 2000m, he has a sound winning case fresh.

Returns from a five-month break after a solid sixth in the G2 Meguro Kinen at this track, beaten just under two lengths when working home evenly. He had won at this venue the start prior as favourite, and the rider reunites after that success. Proven at 2000m and already holding a key line over Mikki Gold, he profiles as a serious winning chance fresh.

Resumes after eight months off following two unplaced G2 runs, the latest when 12th in the Kinko Sho at Chukyo and beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. He was also ninth in the American Jockey Club Cup at Nakayama after giving away a big start. A Listed win on the record gives him some substance, but recent form leaves him looking more a place hope than a win threat.

Returns from a four-month break after a very poor last in the G3 Fuchu Himba Stakes at this track, beaten out of sight with no hidden excuse in the run home. She had also finished tenth in a Listed race at Hanshin before that. Her career record is better than those runs suggest, but she is unplaced in two attempts around 2000m and has to rebuild confidence sharply.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing seventh in the G3 Niigata Kinen, beaten two and a half lengths at big odds when close enough but unable to finish it off. His fifth in the G3 Tanabata Sho two back had more merit, as he closed strongly from an unlikely position. Two wins and two placings from four starts at this track and distance make him a realistic place player.

Back after five weeks following a poor second-last at Sapporo, beaten a long way after sitting in the right spot and dropping out sharply. His previous run was no better, finishing 12th in the G2 Nikkei Sho at Nakayama and beaten over 14 lengths. He has won twice around 2000m, but current form is well short of what is required in this company.

Returns from a four-month break after running third at Hakodate, beaten six lengths as favourite but closing strongly. His prior seventh in the G3 Epsom Cup at this track had merit, beaten only two and a half lengths after sitting close enough and trying hard. He has placed at this track and distance, yet the winning strike-rate is modest and others bring sharper claims.

Resumes after eight months off following an 11th in the G3 Diamond Stakes at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths after giving away a big start. The run prior in the G2 Sports Nippon Sho Stayers Stakes was better on margin, but still only ninth. He has three wins at this venue, though just one placing from five starts around 2000m makes this a tough return.

Returns from a three-month freshening after a seventh at Niigata, beaten two and a half lengths at generous odds after settling rearward. His previous run at this track was a plain last when near the top of betting, so there is a recent-form question. Even so, three wins and two placings from nine starts around 2000m, plus a solid track-and-distance record, keep him in the main chances.

Returns from a six-week freshening third-up after finishing ninth in the G3 Niigata Kinen, beaten just under three lengths at big odds. He had also run ninth at Niigata the start prior but did pick up nicely late. His track-and-distance record is strong, with a win and two placings from three attempts, though no placing from six runs in the past 12 months tempers the enthusiasm.

Second-up after finishing a distant last in the G2 Sankei Sho All Comers at Nakayama, where he was close enough before dropping out badly. His prior run at this track was also poor, eighth in the G3 Diamond Stakes and beaten over 12 lengths. Weight relief is some help, but he is unplaced in four starts around 2000m and has plenty to turn around.

Returns from a three-month freshening after finishing seventh in the G3 Sekiya Kinen at Niigata, beaten over 13 lengths on soft ground after tracking the speed and fading. The run prior in the G3 Hakodate Kinen was also below his best. His broader record is stronger, with three wins from ten starts, two wins around 2000m and a previous win at this track, so he can rebound.

Returns from a three-month break after a sound fifth in the G3 Kokura Kinen, beaten two and a half lengths at big odds after looming but missing the top three. He had earlier finished ninth at this track, beaten three and a half lengths after fading late. The 2000m record is winless, but his latest effort gives him enough substance to be considered for the minors.

Back after five weeks following a distant third at Sapporo, beaten nine lengths at big odds despite finishing off strongly. His run before that was a ninth in the G3 Niigata Daishoten, beaten just over four lengths from well back. He has won at this track and distance, but his Listed record is poor and the latest placing still left him a fair way from the winner.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing last in the G3 Tanabata Sho at Fukushima, beaten out of sight after giving away a big start and never entering the race. His previous tenth at this track was at least closer, beaten four lengths, but he was unwanted in betting. With no placing from five runs in the past 12 months, he must lift markedly.

Returns after one month and reaches this third-up after an eighth in the G3 Challenge Cup at Hanshin, beaten just under six lengths when unable to make headway. The key reference is his prior Chukyo win, where he beat Sadamu Opsis by a neck and was near the top of betting. With three wins and three placings from eight starts around 2000m, he brings the best winning profile.

Third-up after finishing eighth in the G2 Sankei Sho All Comers at Nakayama, beaten over 16 lengths at big odds after settling back and weakening further. He was also last at Niigata two back, beaten over 12 lengths. Weight relief and race fitness are positives, but he has been unplaced in five runs across the past 12 months and has to find a lot more.

Returns from a four-month break after an eighth at this track, beaten three and a half lengths when making some ground without ever looking a winning hope. His sixth in the G3 Niigata Daishoten two back was also respectable, beaten two and a half lengths. He has a strong track-and-distance record, but recent form says he must sharpen to threaten.
