Tokyo Race 1 - Mdn Race
KONA PALMS (3) First up and made some ground late when 3rd first up last preparation at this track. Yuga Kawada rates highly but down in distance. Has the ability to take this out. COLD AS ICE (12) Was found wanting late when 7th last start at this venue and having second career run. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. NOBLE MINT (1) Ran 6th last start at Nakayama but gets the perfect gate. Could be a value selection. HAKUTAKA (8) Improved to place when 2nd beaten by 2L last run at Nakayama. Should be swooping on the field late. Strong each way bet.

Worked through the line only fairly when sixth at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten ten lengths by Marino Espresso after giving away a big start. The start prior was better, finishing sixth at Nakayama and beaten three lengths, though she was unwanted in the market. She is race-fit and rates well against these, but the first try around 1400m is a genuine question for a filly still unplaced from three starts.

Dropped right out when second last at this track over 1600m last week, beaten a long way by Noshery after fading late. The prior Nakayama Dirt run was no better, finishing last and beaten over 20 lengths by Ammitsu. Weight relief is the one small positive, but he remains unplaced from three starts and has plenty to find on exposed form.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing fifth at Niigata, beaten just over seven lengths by Fruits Basket when near the top of betting. His debut third at Tokyo in a NEWCOMER, as an odds-on favourite, showed enough ability despite not quickening when required. Freshened for this, he is still lightly raced and profiles as a realistic place hope if he brings that debut standard back.

Comes here third-up after finishing tenth at Tokyo last week, beaten over 11 lengths by Neeskens after settling rearward and making no impression. His Nakayama NEWCOMER debut was also plain, but he is now race-fit and has a shorter assignment to work with. The form figures are unattractive, yet the campaign stage gives him a platform to improve enough to be a serious player.

Was never involved on debut at this track six days ago, finishing second last and well beaten behind Grass Rally after conceding a huge start. The class drop offers some relief, but that opening performance left a large gap to bridge. With only one run to assess and no sign of late strength there, he looks one of the harder runners to recommend.

Dropped out badly on debut at this track over 1600m, finishing 14th and beaten a long way by Lord Amadeus after giving little in the run home. She was unwanted in the market and now has to turn that around quickly second-up. The class drop is some help, but the first run offered limited encouragement for a winning case here.

Makes his race debut with no official race evidence to assess, so the profile has to be treated cautiously. The stable has one win from 21 debut runners, while the family offers some practical grounding through D J Sun, a six-time winner, and a 1200m Fukushima winner. Even so, debut runners can be difficult to place with confidence and he looks more of a watch runner.

Resumed with a clear step forward when second at Nakayama Dirt, beaten two lengths by Ammitsu after working home evenly at long odds. That was a major improvement on his tailed-off Fukushima NEWCOMER debut, and he has now placed once from two starts. The first try around 1400m is the query, but his latest run stands out as the strongest recent form and makes him the one to beat.

Finished last on debut at this track last week, beaten over 19 lengths by Caramelo after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. The quick return and class drop give him another chance to show more, but the first performance was too plain to overlook. He will have to begin better and find a much stronger finish to get competitive.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing tenth at Niigata, beaten over 13 lengths by La Garriga when only an outside chance in betting. His Kokura debut had stronger market confidence as favourite, though he still finished seventh and was never a winning hope. There is ability implied by that support, but he has yet to produce it under race pressure and shapes more as a place prospect.

Resumed with an eighth at Kyoto Dirt two weeks ago, beaten over 11 lengths by Pair Star Road after sitting just off the pace and battling. His Chukyo NEWCOMER debut was more encouraging, finishing seventh and beaten five and a half lengths when near the top of an open market. A return to that earlier level would help, but he still has to find a stronger closing effort.

Was safely held on debut at this track over 1600m, finishing seventh and beaten seven and a half lengths by Vento Serale. He was near the top of an open market, so there was stable or market confidence behind him, and the class drop is a notable positive second-up. From a leading stable-jockey profile, he has the right scope to improve into a winning chance.
