Tokyo Race 9 - Inagi Tokubetsu
RED BANDE (7) was a winner two back at Nakayama then was super competitive last time when fourth over 2400m in the G2 TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho (Japanese Derby Trial) at this track, beaten only 0.7 lengths. Wins this with a repeat of that effort. COACHELLA VALLEY (11) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 5.5 lengths away in seventh last time out at Grade Two level over 2200m at Kyoto four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Leading contender in this company. NIFLHEIMR (6) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 2000m at Nakayama. Looks a strong top-three prospect. SUNSET VIEW (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only a nose from the winner at the end of 2400m. Expect a bold display.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 42-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 13 at this track in the G2 TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho (Japanese Derby Trial) on April 26 over 2400m, 0.7 len behind Energico carrying 57.0kg at $7.10. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by 3 len at Nakayama March 15 over 2200m defeating Piena Fevre with 57.0kg at $4.80. One of the better chances.
