Tokyo Race 1 - Mdn Race
SANONO FIGHTER (2) Ran home into 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Niigata and can find a nice position from the draw. Will be motoring home late. Solid career start. One of the better chances. BLUE SANTA (7) Faded in the final stages of the race when 4th last run at Niigata. Should muster plenty of early toe. Can measure up to this company. LE BOIS (4) Strong run when placing 2nd beaten by 4L last start at Kyoto. Should get going late. Must respect in this event. NAC DREAM (9) Good performance to run into 3rd beaten by 5 1/2L last time at the track and was on debut last time. Watch it go close.

Made debut at this track in a NEWCOMER and finished fourth behind Fax Caeli, but the margin was still beaten over 14 lengths after starting unwanted in the market. He did pick up nicely in the straight, so there was some merit late, and the drop into Mdn grade helps. Barrier one and a leading track jockey are positives, but he must turn that late hint into a much stronger overall performance.

Comes into this third-up after two strong placings this campaign, most recently finishing third at Niigata when beaten just under two lengths by Coucher De Soleil after finishing strongly. He had led and was only run down late at Nakayama the start prior, so he has shown more than one way to perform. With two placings from two runs at this distance, he sets the standard and looks the one to beat.

Finished eighth at Niigata last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Stern Light after failing to quicken, and the market gave him little support. His debut sixth behind Ho O Monopoly was also safely held after coming under pressure late. He tries around 1600m for the first time and has to find a sharper finish to turn his profile into a genuine placing result.

Worked home late for second at Kyoto Dirt last start, beaten four lengths by Hoshio Mite Runna after having plenty to do. That was a clear lift on his Hanshin Dirt fifth, where he kept going without looking a winning threat. The return to around 1600m is the query after one unplaced try, but he is race fit and brings enough recent substance to be a major player.

Finished well held at this track last start after settling rearward and weakening further in the run home. That followed a long-margin fifth at Hanshin Dirt, where he was also at long odds and made little impact. He is race fit, but five unplaced runs and no clear excuse in recent efforts leave him with a substantial task against sharper maiden rivals.

Resumes after a four-month break following a ninth at Fukushima, where he settled rearward and made no late impression behind Leontios. His debut fourth at Tokyo was more encouraging, beaten just under five lengths by Bell Wood Deep after leading and working home evenly. One previous run around 1600m brought no placing, but the leading trainer at this track gives him some minor appeal fresh.

Led when fourth at Niigata Dirt last start, beaten four lengths by Copano Kirakira, and that followed a debut sixth at Nakayama Dirt where he also showed speed before being run down late. He is race fit third-up and should again make his own presence felt. The first try around 1600m is a point to answer, but his racing pattern and improvement profile make him a strong chance.

Was 11th on debut at Tokyo in a NEWCOMER, beaten over 14 lengths by Nova Lux after fading late and starting unwanted in the market. The drop into Mdn grade is a small positive, but he is unplaced from his only run and now tries around 1600m for the first time. He will have to finish off much better to become a serious factor.

Made a sound debut at this track, finishing third behind Heiva I Tahiti after giving himself a lot to do and passing runners late. That effort had merit because he was unwanted in the market yet still got into the money in a 15-runner NEWCOMER. He is a ¥13.2m yearling purchase and should take benefit second-up, making him a realistic place hope with upside.

Resumes after a three-month break following two unplaced Niigata runs, the latest a ninth behind Nauset when beaten over 10 lengths at long odds. Her debut eighth behind Isukumeru was also plain after she gave away a big start and never came into the race. Around 1600m is new territory, and she has to show far more intent to trouble these.

Finished eighth on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER, beaten over 12 lengths by American Friends after settling with many lengths to make up and never looking likely. She was unwanted in the market and remains very lightly exposed, with the move into Mdn grade a minor help. The first attempt around 1600m adds another question, so improvement has to be significant.
