Tokyo Race 4 - Mdn Race
TEMPO ANIMATO (3) Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd last start at Nakayama and was a debutant last start. Will give a big sight. YAMAME GORYU (1) Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Niigata and gets the perfect draw. Respect against this field. SAINTE ANNE (9) Fresh today after a break. Closed off nicely when 5th last run at Nakayama. Winning hope. MEINER LABYRINTH (2) Finished 6th last start at Niigata but gets a favourable barrier. Has a great burst of speed late. Has the ability to figure.

Progressed clearly at Niigata last start, finishing second over 1800m after really knuckling down late to be beaten just under two lengths by Stern Light. His debut fifth at Nakayama in a NEWCOMER was well held, but he did work home and now reaches the third run of the campaign. The step to 2000m is still a query on his record, yet his latest effort gives him a strong winning platform.

Made some late ground from well back when sixth at Niigata last start, but the market had him at big odds and he was beaten just over eight lengths by Sunrise Eight. His previous Sapporo fifth was better on margin, though still came from a rearward spot at long odds. With no placing from three starts, he profiles as a place hope only if he can settle closer and finish with more purpose.

Resumes after two months off following a debut second at Nakayama in a NEWCOMER over 2000m, where he was favourite and beaten eight lengths by Neo Romane. The margin says he still had learning to do, but he placed at the trip and beat Yamame Goryu in that race. Dropping into Mdn grade with Christophe Lemaire aboard is a strong set-up, and he looks the horse to beat.

Was safely held on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER over 1800m, finishing seventh of eight and beaten out of sight after giving away a big start in the straight. The weight relief and class drop offer some assistance, but he has not raced at around 2000m and the first run provided little to build from. He has to find a sizeable turnaround to trouble these.

Resumes after two months off following a plain debut at Nakayama, where he finished second last in a 1600m NEWCOMER and was well beaten after conceding a huge start. The move into Mdn grade is kinder, and there is some staying background through Dogwood, but he has not raced near 2000m. On exposed form, he must improve markedly before being a betting focus.

Had market respect on debut at Tokyo Dirt, sitting near the top of an open market, but finished 12th and was beaten over 17 lengths after giving away a big start. He now switches to turf and rises to 2000m, a distance he has not tried, while the stable has solid track standing. Pedigree through G2 winner Justin Chicago gives some hope, but race form has to improve sharply.

Improved sharply at this track last start, running third and beaten just under four lengths by Gaya's Amore despite being big odds. That was a clear step forward from his Sapporo debut, where he led into the straight before tiring badly and finishing last. Third-up fitness and a placing with this jockey support the case, though he still looks more reliable for a placing than as a win anchor.

Picked up nicely in the straight when fifth at this track last start, beaten just under six lengths by Scia Lunare, after being unwanted in the market. His debut eighth at this venue was only beaten four and a half lengths but lacked a turn of foot. A ¥38.5m yearling purchase with race fitness, he has some upside, yet he still has to turn late effort into a more competitive result.

Returns from a three-month break after a distant fifth at Nakayama, where she was beaten over 14 lengths and could not make an impression from well back. Her Fukushima debut had more merit, making good ground late when beaten six and a half lengths in a NEWCOMER. With Tom Marquand aboard there is room to rebound, but she looks a place chance rather than a firm winning play.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing seventh on debut at this track in a NEWCOMER, beaten just over six lengths by Silver Noble. He was big odds there, stayed in touch and only worked home fairly, so there was no obvious excuse. The move into Mdn grade is suitable, and the ¥7m yearling purchase can improve second-up, but he looks a minor-money hope at this stage.

Resumes after three months off following a seventh at Nakayama on debut, beaten just over six lengths in a NEWCOMER over 1800m after being near the top of an open market. He did not finish the job there, and 2000m is new, but the profile is compelling: a ¥52.8m purchase and a half-brother to G2 winner Deep Bond. With natural improvement, he can quickly become a serious threat.

Was never a factor at Niigata last start, finishing eighth and beaten nine and a half lengths by Sunrise Eight after settling rearward at long odds. The run prior was also plain, with an 11th at Niigata when unwanted in the market and beaten over 13 lengths. Three previous 2000m attempts have brought no wins or placings, so he has plenty to turn around.
