Tokyo Race 6 - Tokyo 6r
MIND BLAZE (7) has the right profile to make a winning debut for Group 1-winning trainer Take, with Kazuo Yokoyama booked and a family that has already produced useful winners including Vesalius, who won over 1400m at Tokyo and has also been with this trainer. SANONO SOLDIER (14) brings the strongest sale-ring marker among the main chances at JPN ¥26400000 and is backed by an 18% trainer-sire strike rate from 72 starts, while half-brother Star Of London won on debut and later won again on dirt. TSUJI BEN (5) is by Benbatl from Pearl Earring and comes from a deep winning family, with several half-siblings successful and Morito Yubu a two-time winner at this venue. ALTAIR TESORO (1) has less exposed family evidence in the data but lands barrier one for Maki and Kowata, giving this colt a practical first-start platform if sharp enough.

Drawn barrier one for his first race start, this Suave Richard colt gets a favourable launching point over 1300m. K Maki's debut record in the supplied data is light on wins, with three placings from 42 starters, so the market may be important, but the inside draw and a clean first outing give him a genuine chance to be competitive straight away.

Begins from barrier two for Yukio Inagaki, and the booking of Group 1-winning rider Mickaelle Michel adds interest to this Benbatl filly. The trainer has one debut winner and four placings from 30 starters in the supplied figures, which is enough to respect without getting carried away. She shapes as a realistic place chance on debut.

Makes his debut from barrier three for Shintaro Suzuki, who is listed seventh for track wins among trainers in the supplied data. The debut figures show no wins and three placings from 31 starters, so he has to bring more than the stable's usual first-start pattern to threaten the better-credentialled newcomers.

Starts from barrier four for Toshihiro Ebina and has some family pointers worth noting, with half-sister Derma Crystal a two-time 1300m winner at this venue. Against that, the trainer-sire combination is winless and without a placing from nine starts in the supplied data, so she looks more a watch-and-learn type first time out.

Debuts from barrier five after making JPN ¥6600000 at the 2025 Hokkaido Summer Sale Yearlings, and the family offers depth. Half-siblings include Isa Chil Kei, Bullbear Gallon and Meiner Delft as multiple winners, while Morito Yubu won twice at this venue. The trainer's debut win record is quiet, but the pedigree gives her a solid winning profile.

Comes to the races for Masayoshi Ebina, whose debut figures are a notable three wins and 10 placings from 23 starters. The family has produced Mana Bonito and Cerf Volant as 1200m dirt winners, including Mana Bonito scoring first time out. Even so, his overall assessment is more cautious than those positives alone imply.

Debuts for Group 1-winning trainer K Take with Kazuo Yokoyama booked, and that combination gives him a strong first-start platform. The family includes Vesalius, a winner over 1400m at Tokyo and also connected to this trainer, while other half-siblings have won races. The stable's raw debut win record is modest, but his overall profile makes him the one to beat.

Steps out by Gold Actor from Jody's Roman, a family that has thrown several winners including Jody's Marron, Ten Felice, Savannah Chance and Kianu. Masahiro Takeuchi's debut record is sound enough, with two wins and nine placings from 27 starters, so she has the background to run well without being rated above the main selections.

Makes his debut for leading trainer Keizo Ito, who has four debut winners and nine placings from 39 starters in the supplied figures. The trainer-sire combination with Pyro is also solid enough at 12 wins from 139 starts. His half-siblings have not shown much first-start spark, but the stable profile keeps him in the place mix.

Starts from barrier 10 for Group 1-winning trainer Ryo Takei, whose debut record is strong in this set with three wins and 10 placings from 21 starters. The trainer-sire combination is winless from 14 attempts, which tempers the profile, but the stable's broader first-start numbers give him a respectable place chance.

Debuts for Koichi Shinkai after selling for JPN ¥4510000 at the 2025 Hokkaido September Sale Yearlings. The trainer has two wins and three placings from 15 debut starters in the supplied data, a useful strike rate in this context. From barrier 11, she looks capable of running a forward race rather than being a clear top pick.

Carries just 52kg on debut, which is her clearest positive, and she comes from a family with winners including Bumbun Maru and Takichan Go. Shoichi Temma's debut numbers are light, with no wins and one placing from 17 starters, so she will have to outperform the stable's first-start pattern to trouble the stronger chances.

Begins from barrier 13 after selling for JPN ¥1980000 at the 2025 Hokkaido September Sale Yearlings. There is some winning depth in the family through Crowd Noise, a 12-time winner, and Love Me Louis, but H Matoba's debut record shows no wins or placings from 18 starters. Others bring stronger first-start credentials.

Comes to the races as a JPN ¥26400000 yearling purchase, the standout sale figure among the main chances, and the trainer-sire combination is strong with 13 wins from 72 starts. Half-brother Star Of London won on debut over 1000m at Hakodate Dirt and later won again on dirt. Despite barrier 14, he has a profile that can win first time out.

Debuts from a wide barrier for Toshihiro Ebina, with the family producing winners in Sung Gulidangdang, Ice Breaker and Tonton Byoshi. The stable's debut record is only one win and two placings from 23 starters, and the draw leaves him with more to overcome than several better-fancied newcomers.

Starts from the outside barrier for M Kikukawa, and that is a difficult first-race setup. The family has depth, including Grass Savior, Grass Cheer and Grass Diablo, with Grass Diablo a winner at this venue over 1400m. The stable has placed five of 23 debut runners, but the wide draw keeps him in the rougher-chance bracket.
