Tokyo City Keiba Race 3 - Mdn Race
BOOK OF KELLS (2) sets the standard third up after a Hanshin 1800m 2nd on 5 Sep (beaten 1.75L, 55kg, SP 3.4) and maps well from barrier 2. MINKOWSKI (6) appeals second up off a solid Hanshin 1800m 3rd on 12 Sep (9.5L, 55kg) and keeps the same rider from barrier 6. SEVEN CIRCLE (9) is on a short turnaround after a Hanshin 1800m 7th on 21 Sep (5.6L, 55kg) and can progress from barrier 9. BEAU AUBE (5) was 4th at Hanshin 1800m on 12 Sep (12.5L, 55kg) and draws out to barrier 5 second up.

Second-up from barrier 1 after debuting at Hanshin over 1800m, where he raced midfield before dropping out to finish 10th of 10, 12.8L from Lys Gloire at $81. The inside draw is a notable improvement from gate 8 and could help him settle closer under 55kg. Needs to lift on that first-up effort but the kinder map gives him a chance to progress.

Solid second-up at Hanshin over 1800m, sitting handy and finishing 2nd of 5 by 1.75L to Tifosi at $3.4 under 55kg. Third-up now from barrier 2 with the same weight and a rider change back to Yuichi Kitamura, and his Hanshin 1800m placing reads well for this setup.

Resumes first up after an 84-day break with 53kg and draws barrier 3. Last start at Fukushima over 1700m on muddy ground he settled back and finished 12th of 15, beaten 30.85L at $26. Needs to show improvement fresh but the lighter weight and soft draw help his set-up.

Fourth-up and on a short turnaround (13 days), he comes off a Hanshin 1400m run on 13 Sep where he settled back and finished 9th of 11, beaten 17.01L at SP 126 under 53kg. Drops 400m in trip and draws barrier 4 after gate 3 last time, with Yuichiro Shibata staying on; needs to lift on exposed figures but the setup shift could help.

Second-up after a debut 4th of 8 at Hanshin over 1800m two weeks ago, beaten 12.5L at $5 after settling back and improving late. Draws barrier 5 this time (from 1) with Kazuo Yokoyama taking over, and sticks to the same trip. With that experience under his belt, a tidier run is within reach.

Second-up after a solid debut at Hanshin over 1800m, where he sat handy and boxed on for 3rd of 8, 9.5L behind Epi De Ble at $18 carrying 55kg. Sticks to the same track and trip from barrier 6 with Riki Takasugi again booked, which looks a straightforward progression.

Resumes first up after a 3‑month break and rises 400m in trip, with 55kg and Fuma Matsuwaka aboard from barrier 7. Her lone run was 5th of 13 at Hanshin over 1400m on 13 Jun (SP 16) when beaten 10.75L after settling midfield. Fitness and the extra distance will be the test, but she can improve with experience.

Second-up after debuting at Hanshin over 1800m five days ago, he closed from last to finish 7th of 10, 5.6L behind King Lear at $126 carrying 55kg. Draws barrier 9 this time (from 5), and with the quick turnaround he can strip fitter and aim to improve on that effort.
