Races ORM Tokyo City Keiba - JAP

Fair fourth two back and kept working last start, but 1600m is new territory. Place claims hinge on running the trip right out.

Recent form is plain, with big-margin defeats and no wins from 21 starts. Hard to make a strong case.

Last-start effort was well below the mark and the track-and-distance record is poor. Must lift sharply.

Second-up with a proven track-and-trip record, but recent runs have been below his best. More a place hope.

Latest effort was only fair and the run prior was poor. Minor claims at best if she finds a better finish.

Beaten big margins at both recent starts and still a maiden after ten runs. Others look stronger.

Back to a preferred 1600m with a strong track-and-trip record and winning rider aboard. Recent runs are only fair, but she appeals.

Failed first-up as a fancied runner, but her overall record is strong and the winning rider returns. Can rebound into the placings.

Recent defeats have been heavy, including a distant last two back. Hard to recommend.

Last-start winner with a strong overall record and an excellent partnership with Tsubasa Sasagawa. Brings the best profile and can win again.

Beaten over 16 lengths last start and over 14 lengths the run before. Current form is hard to support.

Latest run was plain, but his prior third and proven track-and-trip record give him a place chance.

Dominant COND winner last start and already proven at this track and distance. Wide draw is the only slight concern, but he is a major player.

Latest fifth was respectable and he kept finding the line, but the 51-start maiden record is the big knock. Still among the chances.
