Tokyo Race 4 - Allowance Race
ZAAFIR (13) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 6 lengths away in eighth over 2000m at Nakayama on December 6 which was the only run of that prep. This easier and has won fresh. Expected to go close. SHONAN PATHOS (12) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Nakayama Dirt. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GANDA (1) showed good speed and fought on for second over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt last time. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from three starts. Leading contender coming out of a very nice barrier. Take running down. REALIZE BRAVE (8) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 6 lengths away in tenth over 1600m at Kyoto. No surprise to see him in the frame.

Before that 4th of 8 at Chukyo on December 6 over 1600m, 2 len behind Cool Daytona carrying 56.0kg at $5. This much easier. Capable of more – worth another chance.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 13 at Nakayama Dirt on January 24 over 1800m, 4 len behind Krautrock with 57.0kg at $6.10. The start before that won by 1.75 len at Nakayama Dirt December 6 over 1800m defeating Kashima Raifu carrying 56.0kg at $4.10. Rates highly and yet to run a bad race. Has pace and from the wide draw should push forward and take catching.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 11 at Nakayama on December 6 over 2000m, 6 len behind Sanono Greater carrying 56.0kg at $2.50. When resuming last campaign 3rd of 9 at Nakayama on September 27 over 2000m, 0.5 len behind Winners Nine carrying 55.0kg at $7. This easier and has won fresh. Expected to go close.
