Tokyo Race 8 - Allowance Race
ACE FLIGHT (5) Ran home strongly to win last run at Hanshin and good career start. Key player. MORETON ISLAND (3) Resuming after a spell. Romped home to win last start at Niigata and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Winnable race. RIPOSANTE (4) Was eating up the ground late when winning last run at Niigata. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Looks promising in this race. CEYLON GEMS (2) First up after a break. Didn't attack the line when 8th last start at Niigata but will try to take advantage of the draw. Christophe Patrice Lemaire rates highly. Could work into the placings.

Worked home evenly when third at Hanshin Dirt last start, beaten a length and a half by Sunrise Oscar after being kept near the top of an open market. The run prior at Kokura Dirt was only fair when sixth and beaten just over seven lengths, so he still has to sharpen late. Second-up with N Yokoyama aboard again, he profiles as a sound place chance rather than a dominant winning hope.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing eighth at Niigata, beaten six lengths by Taisei Princesse despite being near the top of an open market. He had earlier won an ALLOW at this venue as favourite, beating Go Go Takashi, and his track record is sound with two wins from five starts. Even so, one unplaced run around 2000m and that latest flat effort leave him with a fair bit to prove fresh.

Returns from a three-month break after a neat Niigata win, where she let down well and beat Up Helly Aa by just under a length. Her earlier sixth at this track was still only beaten two and a half lengths in a 16-runner field, and she has built a useful five-start record with two wins and a placing. Already one from one at this distance, she has enough quality to be a genuine minor-placing player fresh.

Returns from a two-month let-up in excellent order after storming home to win at Niigata as favourite, beating Mo Eedesho by just under two lengths with something in hand. She had been narrowly beaten by Fast Forward over 1800m the start prior, so the form reads consistently. A track-and-trip winner with a faultless top-three record from four runs under these conditions, she has the strongest winning case.

Made a strong return at Hanshin, driving late to beat Satono Brillar by just under two lengths as a short odds-on favourite over 2200m. That followed a close Fukushima third behind Genji when also well found in betting, and his season record now stands at two wins and a placing from three starts. Proven around 2000m and still lightly raced, he looks the main danger if he holds that upward curve.

Returns from a two-month let-up after an improved third at Niigata, beaten just over two lengths by Bow Window despite starting at long odds. His previous fourth behind Taisei Princesse was sound enough, though again the market gave him little respect. With four wins overall he has substance, but only one placing from three attempts around 2000m makes him more of a place hope than a win play.

Worked home evenly for fifth at Hanshin last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Black Olympia at big odds. That was a clear step back in the right direction after being second last on Chukyo Dirt, beaten over 16 lengths when never in the picture. He has placed around this distance and has a useful record with Yutaka Take, but recent form still leaves him chasing improvement.

Finished fifth at this track last start, beaten ten lengths by Femme Courageuse after being unwanted in the market, though he did make late ground from a hopeless position. His Nakayama run prior was also plain when eighth and beaten just over nine lengths. A return to 2000m is supported by a win and two placings at around the trip, but he looks reliant on further improvement.

Returns from a lengthy six-month spell after finishing seventh in the G2 TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho (Japanese Derby Trial) at this venue, beaten eight and a half lengths by Going To Sky. He had been fifth in a Listed race at Hanshin before that, beaten three and a half lengths. Two wins from three starts around 2000m is a positive, but he resumes off two unplaced runs and must show he is ready.
