Tokyo Race 7 - Allowance Race
MONOPOLIO (11) Weakened under pressure when 8th last time at Sapporo. Happy to overlook that run. Jockey Christophe Patrice Lemaire adds value. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. One of the top hopes. STEEL VOGUE (6) First up after 10 weeks and made some ground late when 2nd first up last preparation here. First start for a new trainer and returns to an increased distance. Goes close. ATLAS TESORO (9) Tailed off to finish 11th last start at Nakayama. The wide barrier shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Exotics hope in this event. YOUNG AMERICANS (10) Was agonizingly close last start at Nakayama and getting better in recent performances. Strong each way bet.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing 11th at Nakayama Dirt, beaten over 17 lengths at big odds after conceding a huge start. The start prior was also plain, with an eighth at Sapporo Dirt when beaten over 10 lengths and never likely. Three unplaced runs around 1600m add another query, so a sharp lift is required.

Has struggled badly in two recent runs, finishing second last in a COND at Funabashi when well beaten by 26 lengths after settling miles back and failing to improve. He had also been beaten over 14 lengths at Sapporo Dirt at long odds. The class drop and fourth-up profile help only slightly, with recent form making him hard to recommend.

Returns from a two-month break after a strong third at Niigata Dirt, beaten three and a half lengths after tracking the lead and fighting on bravely. His 1600m record is still light, with one unplaced attempt around the trip, but that latest run rated well and came at generous odds. With that form now on the board, he looks the clearest winning chance.

Worked through the line fairly when fourth at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten just over two lengths by Urizunbe after not quickening. That followed a Mdn win at Niigata Dirt, where he beat Kashima Raifu by half a length with some market support. He did finish behind Young Americans last time, but Kosei Miura back aboard keeps him in the place mix.

Improved last start when fourth at Kyoto Dirt, beaten seven lengths by Air Alcina after picking up nicely in the straight despite being at long odds. His prior ninth at Hanshin Dirt was well below that, but the return to 1600m is a clear plus given he has won at the distance. If he can build on the latest run, he is a genuine minor chance.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with an 11th in a Mdn at Niigata Dirt, beaten over 12 lengths as the odds-on favourite. His earlier third at Fukushima Dirt was much better, and his profile at this track and distance is useful, with three placings from four attempts. Still a maiden, but the place credentials are obvious.

Worked home fairly when eighth first-up at this track, beaten just over five lengths by Fun Time Gift after settling well back at big odds. He had shown a similar pattern when sixth at this venue before a break, beaten just over nine lengths after looking no hope. The effort was not poor, but his last 12 months make winning a stretch.

Returns from a two-month break after a plain second-last at Niigata, beaten over 11 lengths when unwanted in the market and unable to make an impression. He had won a C2 at Sonoda by six lengths before that, but today's 1600m remains a query after two unplaced attempts around the trip. Others bring stronger exposed form for this.

Was never competitive when 11th at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten out of sight after giving ground in the run home. His previous Mdn win at the same venue was dominant, beating Shin Endo Tsuda by four lengths as favourite, and the winning rider returns. Even so, this is his first look around 1600m and he must rebound sharply.

Only just missed at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten a nose by Urizunbe after being an outside chance in the betting. The run prior was another solid placing at Fukushima Dirt, beaten just over three lengths by Shooting Guy, so his current form is reliable. One placing from three attempts around 1600m is the query, but his recent level is good enough to win this.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing eighth at Sapporo, beaten four and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite but still working home. His earlier fifth in an Open at Kyoto was sound enough in stronger company, and Christophe Lemaire going back on is a major positive. With only four starts behind him, there is clear scope to rebound.
