Tokyo Race 12 - Kaiji Stakes

BEST ME EVER (14) First run back from a break. Ran over the top of them when winning last run at Fukushima. A win wouldn't surprise. LOVELY JUBBLY (5) First up and finished with purpose when winning first up last preparation at Nakayama. Has a great burst of speed late. Looks promising in this race. BE ON THE COVER (7) First up from a spell. Was eating up the ground late to win last time at Sapporo. This field suits. TAISEI PRINCESSE (9) Fresh after a spell. Picked up late to win last start at Niigata and have to respect the form at the distance. Expected to be flashing home. Can win.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a plain last at this track over 1400m, beaten eight and a half lengths after settling back and making no impression. His start prior was much better, winning an ALLOW at this venue by two and a half lengths as favourite, but he has not raced at around 1800m before. A strong track record gives him some base, though a sharp turnaround is required.

Led at Nakayama last start but faded to sixth, beaten six and a half lengths, and the market gave little encouragement. Two back he tracked the speed at Niigata and failed to quicken when 15th at big odds. He has winning form around 1800m and is race fit, but recent figures make him hard to recommend as a serious threat.

Comments

Resumed with a fair fourth at Nakayama over 1600m, beaten five lengths after settling rearward at big odds. His prior run at this track was sound enough, seventh in an ALLOW and only beaten two and a half lengths when never a winning hope. The 1800m record is strong, with three wins and two placings from eight tries, so he has a realistic place profile second-up.

Resumed in good order at Nakayama, finishing second over 1600m and beaten two lengths after working home evenly. That followed a strong fourth in an ALLOW at this track, beaten just over half a length despite being unwanted in betting. He has three wins and two placings from 11 starts around 1800m, so the trip is workable, and his recent form makes him the one to beat.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a disappointing last at Kyoto, beaten just over eight lengths after travelling close enough and offering little. She had won a FM ALLOW at Nakayama the run prior, beating Bow Window by a nose, and her overall record of three wins and two placings from six starts is strong. A placing at 1800m keeps her in the mix, but she must rebound.

Returns from a lengthy spell after being well beaten in two Open races last campaign, finishing second last at this track and last at Hanshin. Those were demanding assignments, yet the margins were heavy and the market had little regard for her. Her 1800m record reads well from limited chances, but she will have to rediscover much sharper form to trouble these.

Returns after three months having won at Sapporo, where he scored by half a length as favourite and beat Baltica. The run before that was much flatter at this track, sixth and beaten eight and a half lengths after settling rearward. Takeshi Yokoyama is back and the pair have a useful record together, but six starts around 1800m without a win tempers the winning case.

Back after two months since a tenth at Niigata over 2200m, beaten eight lengths at big odds and only fair through the line. She was also eighth there the run prior when unwanted in the market. The positive is a genuine track-and-distance record, with one win and one placing from five attempts, but current form leaves her looking an outside hope only.

Returns after three months in excellent form, having won at Niigata by just over a length after starting near the top of an open market. She had earlier swept home at this track to win by just under two lengths at big odds, and her record at this track and distance is two wins from three starts. With Shu Ishibashi back aboard, she has a strong winning case fresh.

Was safely held first-up at Kyoto, finishing last over 2000m and beaten nine and a half lengths after being close enough before weakening. Her previous effort at this track was better, fourth in an ALLOW and beaten two and a half lengths after working home well. The 1800m record is strong enough to forgive one run, but she must show more second-up.

Finished seventh at Nakayama first-up, beaten eight and a half lengths, and was also well beaten by 21 lengths on Kokura Dirt the run prior. He has won at this track and owns a workable 1800m record, but recent form is hard to overlook and Salt Breeze had him covered comfortably at Nakayama. Others bring stronger credentials.

Back after two months since a tenth at Niigata, where he conceded a huge start and was beaten just under six lengths at big odds. The run before was similar at Fukushima, ninth and never a chance despite working home fairly. He has won at this track and at 1800m, but the current form pattern says he has plenty to find.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a plain tenth at this track, beaten nine and a half lengths after being in touch and weakening. His earlier sixth at this venue was more encouraging, making ground in an ALLOW when beaten just under four lengths. Two wins from six starts at this track help his case, but he profiles more as a place chance than a win anchor.

Returns from a lengthy spell in outstanding shape, having won at Fukushima by just over a length after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. She was also a close second in a FM ALLOW at this track before that, beaten a neck as an odds-on favourite. Her track-and-distance record is excellent, and that consistency makes her a key winning chance.

Returns from a lengthy spell after two poor efforts at this track, most recently 11th over 2400m when leading narrowly before being swamped and beaten over 10 lengths. He was also 16th in an ALLOW here the run prior despite being near the top of an open market. Past 1800m and track form gives him some grounding, but recent output is well short.

Was below his best in Open grade at Hanshin last start, finishing last over 2400m and beaten seven lengths after weakening in the run home. His previous Chukyo win was much more like it, picking up sharply to beat Noche Cerrada by half a length. With two wins and two placings from five starts around 1800m, he is well placed to rebound strongly.
