Tokyo Race 11 - The Copa Republica Argentina(G2)
DOURADORES (5) First up. Crept into 4th last time at Niigata. Christophe Patrice Lemaire is an advantage. Will give a big sight. RED BANDE (9) Flew home to win last start around here. Daisuke Sasaki is a plus. Strong chance. MIRAGE KNIGHT (4) First up from a break. Strong effort to the line to win last run at Sapporo. Goes close. FEIERN KRANZ (7) Racing fresh after a break. Ran on hard when winning last run at the track. In the mix.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing last in the G3 Challenge Cup at Hanshin, beaten over 19 lengths after weakening badly late. That was a sharp reversal from his ALLOW win the start prior, when he beat Musician by two lengths after leading and finding strongly. He has won around 2500m, but the latest effort leaves him with plenty to repair.

Resumes after five months off following a plain 15th in the G1 Takarazuka Kinen at Hanshin, where he settled back and was beaten over 18 lengths. His start prior at Al Rayyan was more competitive, beaten just under five lengths by Deep Monster, and he does have a Group 3 win on the record. Fresh, he profiles as a place hope rather than a confident winning play.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a strong second in the G2 Kyoto Daishoten at Kyoto, beaten just under a length by Ecoro Dinos after being caught right on the line. His previous G1 Takarazuka Kinen run was plain, but he is proven at this distance and recently beat West Now. That latest form gives him a sound place profile in this field.

Resumes after four months off in excellent form, having won the Listed SAPPORO NIKKEI SHO at Sapporo by just over a length as favourite. Before that he was fourth in the G2 Meguro Kinen at this track, beaten a length and a half by Feiern Kranz, so the course form stacks up strongly. With five wins from twelve starts and the winning rider back, he sets the benchmark.

Resumes after six months off following a close fourth in the G3 Niigata Daishoten, where he was beaten just under a length as a well-supported favourite. He had also been sound in the G2 Kinko Sho, finishing fifth and beaten just over a length. The first look around 2500m is the key question, so he has to return sharp to trouble the main chances.

Returns from a five-week break after finishing 12th in the G2 Kyoto Daishoten, beaten six lengths at big odds and unable to make headway. His previous sixth in the G1 Takarazuka Kinen had some merit at long odds, but he was still beaten eight lengths. He has placed around 2500m and can improve, though the winning case is not obvious.

Resumes after six months off with the best course-and-distance credentials, having won the G2 Meguro Kinen at this track by a neck from Victor Verus. He had earlier run second in the G3 Diamond Stakes, again at this venue, and his black-type record is very solid. He has already beaten Mirage Knight here, so any market respect would be well earned.

Returns from a two-month let-up after winning an ALLOW at Hanshin, making up plenty of ground to beat Firm Twenty by just under a length. His prior fourth at this track was also sound, picking up nicely when beaten just over three lengths by Red Teleos. With two wins and two placings around 2500m, he has the profile to take another step.

Won at this track last start, getting over the top late to beat Badrinath by half a length as a short odds-on favourite. That was a much better piece of form than his seventh in the G2 Hanshin Daishoten before a break, where he was beaten over 11 lengths after failing to quicken. A three-win record around 2500m gives him genuine place claims.

Finished ninth in the Listed OCTOBER STAKES at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Ask Sexy More after having his chance but not finishing off. Two back he was closer in the G3 Niigata Kinen, though still at long odds. His record around 2500m is poor, and recent results suggest others bring stronger claims.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a solid sixth in the G2 Kyoto Daishoten, beaten just over two lengths by Ecoro Dinos while keeping on in the straight. His prior G3 Kokura Kinen run was honest without threatening. He has won at this track and around 2500m, and that proven setup gives him a strong platform to improve second-up.

Returns from a two-month let-up after winning the G2 Sankei Sho All Comers at Nakayama by a nose from Can'T Wait, a sharp response after being well beaten at Chukyo the run prior. He is third-up, the winning rider stays with him, and his Group 2 record is a clear asset. The 2500m question is fair, but his current form commands respect.

Resumes after three months off following a sixth at Sapporo, beaten over 11 lengths by Coachella Valley at generous odds. His previous G1 Tenno Sho (Spring) effort was also safely held, finishing tenth and beaten over 10 lengths by Croix Du Nord. He has won at this track, but the recent form makes this a difficult assignment.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last in the G2 Kyoto Daishoten, beaten ten lengths after sitting in touch and weakening out. His G1 Takarazuka Kinen run before that was no better, beaten over 14 lengths. The counterpoint is a strong 2500m record, including two wins and one placing from three starts, so a rebound would not shock.

Resumes after eight months off after finishing second last in the G1 Tenno Sho (Spring), beaten over 14 lengths by Croix Du Nord after going backwards from a handy position. Her prior fifth in the G3 Diamond Stakes at this venue was more competitive, beaten four lengths. She has placed around 2500m, but the absence and latest run temper confidence.

Resumes after six months off following a seventh in the G2 Meguro Kinen at this track, beaten just over three lengths by Feiern Kranz at big odds. He had also been safely held in the G2 Kinko Sho at Chukyo. His track record is respectable and he has placed at the distance, but several key rivals already have his measure.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing 16th in the G2 Kyoto Daishoten, beaten seven and a half lengths at long odds after offering little when asked. His fifth in the G2 Meguro Kinen at this track before a break was far better, beaten a length and a half by Feiern Kranz. Weight relief helps, but he must rediscover that earlier level.

Returns from a five-week break after finishing 11th in the G2 Kyoto Daishoten, beaten just under six lengths at big odds and offering little late. His previous G1 Takarazuka Kinen run was weaker again, beaten over 18 lengths by Meisho Tabaru. He has deep 2500m experience, but current form leaves him with a sizeable task.
