Tokyo Race 3 - Mdn Race
MARS REGINA (8) is the one to beat after starting a well-supported favourite on debut at Niigata and finishing fourth, beaten just over four lengths, from a rearward position. The 1800m is new, but the class drop, Christophe Lemaire booking and strong family profile give her the clearest upside. RAIKAHO (9) was well beaten on debut at Nakayama, so the race-day performance has to lift, yet he was respected in an open market and comes from a family with Listed strength around this distance. MEINER RICHARD (6) has mixed recent figures, but his debut sixth over 1600m at Niigata reads better than the last-start margin and he gets a third-up platform. ZERBST (1) was unwanted in betting on debut yet still managed fourth in a NEWCOMER at Nakayama, and the inside draw gives him a genuine place-to-win profile if he finishes off more cleanly.

Back after four weeks, showed enough on debut at Nakayama to stay in the conversation, finishing fourth in a NEWCOMER on good ground despite being unwanted in the market. He was swamped late and beaten just over five lengths by Pulvinar, so there is still a finishing query, but the class drop and inside barrier help. With natural improvement, he profiles as a genuine place chance with some upside.

Finished last at Nakayama three weeks ago, well held behind Capital Stone after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. That followed a seventh in the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes, beaten over 11 lengths at long odds, so the recent pattern is plain. Race fitness is a small plus, but he has to find a far sharper finish to trouble these.

Finished eighth first-up at Nakayama over 2000m, beaten just over nine lengths by Principatus after being given every chance and weakening late. His debut fourth at Fukushima was sound enough without being threatening, beaten six and a half lengths by Grand Augure. The 1800m is new and he looks more an each-way fringe hope than a clear winning play.

Worked home fairly on debut at Hanshin, finishing sixth in a NEWCOMER over 1600m and beaten three lengths by Ghibli despite starting at long odds. That was a respectable first effort and the class drop gives her a better platform, although the rise to an untried 1800m is the main question. She can improve enough to be part of the placing battle.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a modest debut at Niigata, where she finished tenth over 1400m at long odds and was beaten just under ten lengths by Kanaderu Pegasus. She conceded a huge start and was never in the race, leaving little to recommend on exposed form. The class drop helps, but 1800m is new and she must lift sharply.

Back after four weeks, gets a third-up chance to recapture the promise of his debut sixth at Niigata, where he led and was beaten just over three lengths by Nishino Toranosuke. Last start at Nakayama was disappointing, beaten over 15 lengths by Texas after being near the top of an open market. The 1800m is new, but fitter now and capable of giving this a real shake.

Back after four weeks, comes out of stronger company but has been safely held in recent runs, finishing fifth in an Open at Hanshin and beaten over 10 lengths by Brad Barows. Two back he was second last in the G3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes, beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. The class drop helps, but two previous 1800m attempts have produced no placing.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a debut fourth at Niigata, where she started a well-supported favourite and was beaten just over four lengths by Top Layer after settling rearward. The step to an untried 1800m asks something, but the class drop, Christophe Lemaire booking and a half-sister profile linked to G2 winner Erika Vita give her the strongest winning platform.

Started near the top of an open market on debut at Nakayama but never got involved, finishing second last and well beaten by 22 lengths behind Diana Maria. That performance cannot be ignored, yet the class drop is notable and his family includes Listed winner Canal Saint Martin, with city-winning strength around this trip. If he takes a proper step from race experience, he can rebound strongly.

Finished second last at Nakayama three weeks ago, beaten over 19 lengths by Capital Stone after settling miles back and failing to improve. Her debut at Niigata was also weak, ending last and well held behind Cestino at long odds. Third-up fitness is the only small positive, but the race form leaves her facing a stern task.

Finished fourth at Nakayama last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Capital Stone after settling handy, and that was a fair enough effort in the context of this field. His previous sixth at Niigata was similar, beaten five and a half lengths after failing to finish off. Three 1800m runs without a placing temper the win case, but he remains a realistic place hope.
