Races ORM Tokyo City Keiba - JAP

Second last at long odds last start and only one placing from five tries around 1400m. A much sharper finish is required.

Second-up after a moderate ninth and still winless from 18 starts. Has to produce a clear form reversal.

Freshened since a Mdn eighth at Nakayama and had closed well two back. Class drop and fourth-up profile make him the one to beat.

Won first-up in C2 grade and has three wins at this track. New 1400m test, but the profile is strong with Wada Joji back on.

Back after a long spell with solid COND form from last campaign. Untested at 1400m, but the record says he can run into a place.

Track-and-distance winner, but the past two runs were heavy defeats. Current form leaves him with plenty to repair.

Placed first-up but was beaten nine lengths. Proven around 1400m, though he must close the margin sharply.

Freshened after two plain runs at big odds. A past track-and-distance win helps little unless he finds a much stronger finish.

Closed strongly for fourth last start and keeps placing, with eight minors from 11 in the past year. Winning edge is the query.

Made good ground for fourth last start and is a track-and-distance winner. Third-up now and profiles as a real winning chance.

COND placing two back gives him some claim, but last start was only fair and the wide barrier makes the task tougher.
