Tokyo Race 2 - Mdn Race
VENTO RINA (10) Kept boxing on when 2nd last time at Nakayama and putting a tidy record together. Showing great form this preparation. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. One of the top hopes. TIARAED (9) Ran 4th last run at Sapporo. Should bounce back. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. EPIC JOURNEY (3) Didn't maintain the pace when 4th last start at this venue. Won't be far away during the run. Yuga Kawada rates highly. Rates a winning chance. DANCING HOUR (1) Ran 8th last start at Nakayama but drawn beautifully. Does take a while to get into stride. Going up in trip. Has to be included.

Resumed at Nakayama with an eighth over 1200m, beaten just under eight lengths by Butterfly after being only fair through the line. Her debut at Fukushima had more merit, closing from well back at long odds to finish sixth, beaten two and a half lengths by Picnic March in a NEWCOMER. The first try around 1600m is a genuine query, but she has enough early upside to hold place claims if she improves second-up.

Has been well beaten in both starts over 1800m, most recently ninth at this venue when beaten over 12 lengths by Danon Dax after conceding too much ground. The debut at Nakayama was a similar margin behind Pulvinar in a NEWCOMER. She is race fit third-up and comes back to a new 1600m trip, so improvement is the whole case; the market has missed her badly so far, but this is the run where she has to show more.

Held his form well at this venue last start, finishing fourth over 1800m and beaten just under five lengths by Danon Dax after being run down late. That followed a debut third at Niigata, beaten four lengths by Korallion, so his two-start profile has more substance than most. The new 1600m trip is the only query, but he is race fit third-up, drawn to use his early speed and sets the standard to beat.

Returns from a three-month break after ending the opening campaign with a sixth on Fukushima Dirt, beaten over 17 lengths by Moon Beryl at big odds. Her debut on turf at Fukushima was sounder when fifth, beaten four lengths by Nishino Isaribi in a NEWCOMER, but she has not raced around 1600m and has yet to place from two starts. She would have to return in a much sharper order to trouble the main chances.

Debuted at Nakayama over 1800m and was never a factor, finishing 12th and beaten over 18 lengths by Famous Jazz after being unwanted in the market. The class drop offers some assistance and he has scope to be better for the experience, but there was no clear excuse in the run and he now tries 1600m for the first time. A sizeable turnaround is required before he becomes a serious player.

Made little impact on debut at Nakayama, finishing last over 1800m and beaten over 20 lengths by Famous Jazz after giving away too much ground. The positive is that she is entitled to benefit from the outing and her family has produced winners, including Idocrase, Meiner Zeus and Parcel Paper, but the race evidence is still thin. She can improve into a minor role, though winning would require a sharp step forward.

Has struggled in two runs this campaign, finishing second last at this venue over 1800m when beaten over 14 lengths by Danon Dax after coming under pressure late. The run prior at Nakayama was no better, with Handsome beating him home comfortably. He has already been unplaced at around this distance and has been beaten by several stronger hopes, so others have far stronger credentials.

Backs up quickly from a debut at Tokyo Dirt six days ago, where she finished 13th over 1300m and was beaten a long way by Grass Rally after settling rearward. She was unwanted in the market there and there was no clear excuse, so the class drop and light weight have to do plenty of work. The first attempt around 1600m adds another question, and she must improve sharply on exposed form.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fourth at Sapporo, beaten four and a half lengths by Desert Spirit when sent out favourite and unable to finish it off. Her debut second at the same venue behind Blue Jay was more encouraging and she has placed once from two starts overall. Third-up fitness is a plus, but she still has to produce a stronger closing effort to convert into a winning threat.

Arrives with the most consistent exposed record, having finished second at her past two starts and placed two times from three overall. She was beaten seven lengths by Handsome at Nakayama last time after lacking the turn of foot to challenge, but her previous second at Niigata, beaten a length by Nodus, was a stronger reference. Proven at 1600m and race fit fourth-up, she looks a genuine winning chance despite the wide draw.
