Tokyo Race 9 - Oxalis Sho
SMART BRIDE (3) Was very impressive when winning by 7L last time at Nakayama. Alexis Pouchin and Yukihiro Katou enjoy a high success rate together. Can go on with it. ONCE FOR YOU (4) Had a comfortable win by a distance last start at Hanshin and fitter for debut run. Will be hitting the line strongly. One of the major players. YUINO ESPOIR (13) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at Hanshin. Always seems to find the line well. Worth strong consideration. ITO KAKARICHO (7) Bold effort when winning last run at this track. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Can win.

Made an excellent start at Kyoto Dirt, winning a NEWCOMER over 1200m by just over a length after charging home from a seemingly hopeless position with something in reserve. The rise to 1400m is new ground, so that is the natural question, but he is unbeaten, drawn barrier 1 and should be better for the race experience. A genuine place hope with scope to keep improving.

Broke through at Niigata Dirt last start in a Mdn over 1800m, winning by a neck at generous odds after finding enough late. His debut fifth at Nakayama Dirt was fair without being threatening, beaten six and a half lengths by Mor Sourire after settling rearward. Back to 1400m for the first time is a different task, and he will have to find more against sharper types.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a dominant Nakayama Dirt Mdn win, scoring by seven lengths as a very short odds-on favourite after travelling right there and quickening away. That followed a debut second at Niigata Dirt when beaten just over a length by Jasper Trueno. The new 1400m trip is the query, but her two-start profile is strong and she rates a serious winning chance.

Returns off a five-week freshening after winning on debut at Hanshin Dirt as a well-supported favourite, putting a long margin on Nice Woman. She is already one from one at this distance and now gets Christophe Lemaire, the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track. There is limited exposed form, but the debut was decisive and she looks one of the main winning hopes again.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing 11th in the G3 Hakodate Nisai Stakes, beaten nine and a half lengths by Felicita when unwanted in the market and never in the race. Her debut win at Hanshin Dirt over this distance was sound, scoring by a length from Eisenvolk, but she has to recapture that form after a plain stakes run.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a determined Nakayama Dirt Mdn win over 1200m, holding a narrow lead and finding enough to beat Waremoko by half a length. She had earlier placed at Niigata Dirt, but this is her first try around 1400m and the latest win was narrow. Honest enough, yet this requires a sharper performance.

Progressed strongly second time out, winning a Mdn at this track by two and a half lengths from Amber Bullet after being well found in the market. His debut second at Nakayama Dirt behind Yu Like Star reads solid, even if he was beaten five lengths there. Now proven at this track and distance, he brings a clean, improving profile and has enough substance to win again.

Returns from a two-month freshening after winning a Nakayama Dirt Mdn over 1200m by two lengths, travelling handy and letting down nicely. The start prior, he was sent out favourite at Niigata Dirt but finished fourth, beaten just over five lengths by La Chiave. The 1400m is untried and, despite the ¥12.1m purchase profile, he must improve again.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fourth at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just under three lengths by Elan Vita when she failed to finish it off. That came after a three-length Chukyo Dirt Mdn win at generous odds, so there is enough ability in the profile. She has won once from two starts at this distance and profiles as a realistic place chance.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a narrow Nakayama Dirt Mdn win over 1200m, scoring by a neck at big odds from Gymnasion. The concern is the run prior at Sapporo, where he finished a distant last behind Typhoon Nine after weakening right out. This is his first run around 1400m, and he has to confirm the latest result was no fluke.

Produced a huge late burst to win at this track last start, scoring by a nose at long odds after looking in an impossible position. The issue is consistency, as she had been beaten over 11 lengths by Alex K at Nakayama Dirt at her previous run and was again big odds. The local win gives her some hope, but this demands a more convincing repeat.

Won on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER, beating Sanono Soldier by two lengths at big odds and proving too strong late. That gives him immediate local credit and he remains unbeaten, though the market surprise leaves some question over how strong the form will prove. Second-up, he is good enough to be considered for the placings.

Returns off a five-week freshening after a strong second at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just under a length by Elan Vita as favourite. His debut win at this track was full of merit, coming from a seemingly hopeless position to beat Star Flash, and he is one win and one place from two runs at the distance. Proven locally and highly rated on recent form, he is the one to beat.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing last at Nakayama, beaten over 18 lengths by Geopark Katsuki when unwanted in the market and dropping out sharply. His previous fifth at Niigata was also well held, beaten ten lengths by Lukewarm. He is unplaced from one try around this distance and will have to lift markedly.
