Tokyo Race 5 - Tokyo 5r
Light on exposed data, but WHOLE NOTE (8) draws well enough and has Christophe Lemaire up, which suits Tokyo 2000m. EINSATZ (2) maps handy from barrier 2 under Yuga Kawada and should get every chance. GLORIOUS SMILE (9) has Keita Tosaki and a middle draw to find a tractable spot. Debutants LANI AKEA (5) and EARTH GRAZING (1) have useful pedigrees and low gates that can aid settling in a likely tactical affair.
