Tokyo Race 3 - Mdn Race
HISHI HORIZON (9) Finished with intent when 2nd beaten by 7L last run at this venue and fitter for debut run. Major chance. POST TRUTH (10) Finished strongly when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Nakayama and was on debut last time. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . IGNITE FEEL (1) Good effort when finishing 3rd last run at Kyoto and was on debut last time. Will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Up to these. ZERBST (5) Weakened to finish 11th last run around here. Should jump out and bowl along. Include.

Placed on debut at Kyoto when third in a NEWCOMER over 1400m, beaten just under four lengths after settling rearward. She was unwanted in the market, so there was merit in the way she still found the frame. The class drop helps, although 1600m is new territory. With natural improvement second-up, she profiles as a genuine place chance rather than a clear win call.

Worked home only fairly when fifth on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track, beaten four and a half lengths after starting at long odds. She did not quicken when the race was there to be shaped, but that first experience gives her a base to build from. The class drop is a useful positive, and a cleaner second-up performance can put her into the minor-money discussion.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a plain debut at Nakayama, finishing 13th in a NEWCOMER over 1200m and beaten over 13 lengths. He was unwanted in the market and never looked likely after having many lengths to make up. The class drop is something, but 1600m is untried and he must lift sharply on that first outing.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing seventh on debut at this venue, beaten over 10 lengths in a NEWCOMER. He was in the right spot but offered little thereafter, and the market gave him only modest respect at long odds. He is also unplaced from his one try at this distance and this track, so a far stronger return is required.

Was plain last start at this track, finishing last over 1800m and beaten over 12 lengths after being in touch and weakening quickly. His debut fourth at Nakayama was more encouraging, even though beaten just over five lengths at big odds. He is race fit third-up and comes back to 1600m for the first time, so a return to the debut level gives him place claims.

Returns from a three-month break after running third at Niigata, beaten seven and a half lengths after working home evenly at big odds. He had also been safely held on debut at Fukushima over 1200m. There is a minor positive in having placed once from two starts, but 1600m is new for him and others bring stronger winning credentials.

Finished tenth on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER over 1400m, beaten eight lengths after being unwanted in the market. He had the job ahead and was never a winning hope, though he did keep responding late. The class drop offers some assistance, but he has not raced around 1600m before and will have to improve considerably.

Had a very difficult debut on Kyoto Dirt, finishing last in a NEWCOMER over 1200m and beaten out of sight after conceding a huge start. He was big odds there and never got into the race. The class drop is a small help and he was a ¥4.1m yearling purchase, but the race evidence leaves him with plenty to find.

Ran second on debut in a NEWCOMER over 1800m at this track, beaten seven lengths by Val Camonica after working home evenly. He was near the top of betting, so expectations were there, and he still secured a placing at his first start. The drop back to 1600m is the main query, but the profile of this ¥275m yearling purchase keeps him right in the winning mix.

Returns from a five-week let-up after an excellent debut second in a NEWCOMER over 1600m at Nakayama, beaten just under a length by Rapturous. She was near the top of an open market and picked up impressively, so the performance looks a strong maiden reference. She has already placed at the distance and beat Aire Barbados there, making her the clear horse to beat.

Improved last start at this track when sixth over 1400m, beaten four and a half lengths after picking up nicely in the straight. His debut at Nakayama was much weaker, when tenth and beaten over 12 lengths behind Rapturous, with Post Truth well ahead of him. He is fitter third-up and has claims if the latest closing effort carries to 1600m.

Has the benefit of four runs and was not disgraced last start at this track, finishing seventh over 1800m and beaten five and a half lengths after settling rearward. The run prior was in Open company at Hanshin, where he was fifth of six and beaten over 10 lengths. He is yet to place and has an unplaced 1600m record, but race fitness gives him minor claims.
