Tokyo Race 5 - Tokyo 5r
FONTE CHIARA (6) gets the nod on debut, with the Contrail filly bringing the strongest overall profile through Christophe Lemaire, who ranks first for both track wins and G1 wins, and a Toru Kurita stable that has produced six wins and 13 placings from 41 debut starters. The Kurita-Contrail pairing has also struck at two wins from seven, which adds substance. SAINTE CHAPELLE (10) has clear appeal as a JPN ¥70400000 Select Sale yearling by Admire Mars, with Kiwamu Ogino riding and Jun Doradora giving the family a recent city-winning reference. SPALLIERA (12) has the deepest pedigree page, being by Lord Kanaloa from a family featuring G3 winner Lord My Way and G3-placed Storia, though barrier 12 is less kind. A SHIN SPANIEL (7) is next through a solid trainer-sire record and siblings who have shown enough early ability to keep her in the mix.

Draws the inside for her first start and comes from the Masayoshi Ebina stable, which has returned three wins and 10 placings from 23 debut runners. By Efforia out of Strawberries, she does not bring the same depth of exposed family notes as some key rivals, but the stable's first-starter record gives her a sound platform to run into the minor money.

Begins from barrier two and has Y Yoshida aboard, bringing Group 1-winning experience to her first race start. The Fuminmasa Takahashi stable has had 25 debut runners for one placing, so the early profile is more cautious than compelling, but the soft draw helps her get every chance to show whether she is forward enough on race day.

Opens her career for Tomohito Ozeki, a Group 1-winning trainer, and has barrier three to assist on debut. The stable's debut record of no wins and six placings from 26 starts gives some grounding, but there is less in the supplied profile to elevate her above the main chances. She will have to produce above-market improvement first time out.

Starts from barrier four for the H Uehara stable, with Kosei Miura taking the ride. Her half sibling As You Like has won three races, but the family debut notes are mixed and the trainer-debut and trainer-sire figures supplied are both winless. She has enough pedigree interest for exotics, though others present stronger winning credentials.

Carries only 52kg at her first appearance, a useful edge for an unraced two-year-old filly. Takuya Matsuo has two wins and four placings from 10 debut runners, which is a positive starting point, but she is rated below the leading newcomers and the Danon Smash-S T Bride profile has less supporting depth in this field. She must lift above that baseline.

Makes her debut with the race's strongest rider-stable profile, with Christophe Lemaire booked and Toru Kurita bringing a solid debut record of six wins and 13 placings from 41 starters. The Contrail cross has also produced two wins from seven for this stable, while half sibling Mikki Jump is a two-time winner. This looks the clearest first-up package in the field.

Debuts for the Tsuyoshi Tanaka stable with Mickaelle Michel aboard for the first-time combination. The stable-sire pairing has produced three wins and 11 placings from 25 runners, and the family has some early-run indicators through Fuji Hook Hand and A Shin Animo. She profiles as a genuine place chance with enough depth to challenge if the favourites underperform.

Has the benefit of 54kg for her first start and comes from the Daiki Yajima stable, which has managed two wins and nine placings from 26 debut runners. The trainer-sire combination is yet to place from five attempts, however, and there is no strong family pointer in the supplied profile. A sharp debut effort is required to trouble the better-credentialed runners.

Begins from barrier nine for the H Uehara stable, with Daichi Shibata engaged. The supplied debut indicators are plain, with the stable showing no wins or placings from 24 first-starter attempts and the trainer-sire pairing also winless from its small sample. She looks one of the runners who will have to outperform the profile to get competitive.

Comes to the races with a strong commercial and pedigree profile, having sold for 70400000 yen as a Select Sale yearling. By Admire Mars from En Serrant, she also has a family reference through Jun Doradora, a winner whose debut fourth suggests early ability in the line. Kiwamu Ogino is a positive booking and she shapes as a major danger to the top pick.

Has the deepest staying family reference among the outsiders, being related to Meisho Tekkon, a G2 winner and G3 winner over longer trips. That is notable background, but the Hidekatsu Shimizu stable is winless with 29 debut runners and the wide barrier does not help. She may be one to follow, while this assignment looks demanding first time out.

Brings a rich family profile to her debut, with Lord My Way a G3 winner and Storia G3-placed, while several siblings have won at city level. Takeshi Okumura has three wins from 22 debut runners and the Lord Kanaloa link has broad experience, though barrier 12 is the obvious challenge. Her pedigree keeps her firmly among the main winning chances.
