Tokyo Race 3 - Mdn Race
HEART NOTE (9) Caught the eye when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Hanshin. Jockey Cristian Demuro and trainer Tomokazu Takano link well together. Gets the green light today as the race suits and will be difficult to beat. MEINER RICHARD (2) Made some ground late when 3rd last run around here and can find a nice position from the draw. Displays good tactical speed. Well placed and has solid claims. COSMO BALMUNG (4) Close to claiming the win last run at the track and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Should come to hand quickly. Deserves consideration. LANI AKEA (5) Finished 6th last start around here but was on debut last time. Likely to be well placed early. Solid place bet prospects.

Returns from a five-month break after a plain debut at this track, where he settled rearward and finished second last in a NEWCOMER over 1400m, beaten over 10 lengths by Tactician. He was at long odds there and offered little late, so while he is entitled to return more mature, the exposed race evidence still leaves him with plenty to find against sharper maidens.

Worked home evenly for third at this track last start, beaten a length and a half by Mont Saint La Page after being an outside chance in the betting. That was a clear step back in the right direction after being well beaten at Nakayama over 2000m. He is still a maiden after three starts, but a return to the latest effort puts him right in the minor-money mix.

Resumes after six weeks off following two well-held runs on Nakayama Dirt, most recently finishing last of nine over 1200m behind Smart Bride at big odds. He was also last on debut and has not raced around 1800m before, so the new trip asks another question. Race fitness is some help, but he will have to lift sharply to enter calculations.

Went very close at this track three weeks ago, finishing second to Mont Saint La Page and beaten a nose after travelling handy and fighting hard to the line. That followed a fourth at Nakayama when beaten just over seven lengths, so the recent profile is heading the right way. The 1800m record is still only one placing from four tries, but he is a realistic place chance again.

Started favourite on debut in a NEWCOMER over 2000m at this track and was not disgraced, finishing sixth behind Glorious Smile after tracking the speed and weakening late, beaten just under three lengths. The return to 1800m is a genuine question, but that first run gave him a sound platform and Christophe Lemaire staying aboard strengthens the winning case. He can make the necessary second-up improvement.

Settled rearward on debut in a NEWCOMER over 1600m at this track and made no impression late, finishing eighth behind Spalliera and beaten just over seven lengths. She was unwanted in the market there, so improvement is required, but the move into a Mdn and a pedigree page headed by half brother Meisho Tekkon leave some room for a better showing.

Returns from a three-month break after ending her latest run at Niigata second last, beaten over 14 lengths by Fruits Basket at long odds. Her previous run there was better when eighth and beaten five and a half lengths after working home fairly from well back, but she remains unplaced from three starts and must produce a clear career-best to threaten.

Was unwanted in the market on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track and finished tenth behind Satono Kagura, beaten over 11 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. He is second-up and finds a Mdn now, but that first run gave little to recommend and he has to find much more late pressure to be competitive.

Resumes after six weeks off with the best consistency profile in the race, having finished second at both starts over this distance at Hanshin. She was pipped late by Shallow Champ last start after starting a dominant odds-on favourite, and her debut second behind Lys Gloire was also full of merit. Third-up now, she has the exposed 1800m form to be a major winning player.
