Tokyo Race 2 - Mdn Race
VENTO RINA (10) sets the standard with two 2nds at 1600m this prep, latest at Nakayama on 26 Sep over 1600m (YIELDING) when runner-up from barrier 10 at $3.9 carrying 55kg. EPIC JOURNEY (3) is the danger after a solid Tokyo run on 4 Oct over 1800m, leading and boxing on for 4th, 4.75L off the winner at $7; draws better in barrier 3 and drops 200m. TIARAED (9) resumes third-up with useful Sapporo form at 1500m, including a 2nd on 1 Aug at $3.4 and a 4th on 23 Aug, and steps to 1600m. DANCING HOUR (1) could improve from barrier 1 dropping 200m after a tough Nakayama 1200m on 22 Sep from barrier 12 when 8th on yielding ground.

Third-up and draws the rail after a wide alley last start at Nakayama, where she settled back and finished 8th of 14 over 1200m, 7.9L off Butterfly at $15. Earlier, she was 6th of 13 at Fukushima over 1200m, beaten 2.31L at $126. The inside barrier and a 400m rise in trip offer a different setup that could help her hold a position.

Third-up and drawn well in barrier 2, she backs up 13 days after finishing 9th over 1800m at Tokyo, beaten 12L at $126. Both runs to date were at 1800m when ridden back from wide gates, so the 200m drop could help her settle closer under 55kg; needs to improve but the setup is more favourable.

Third-up and drawn to advantage in barrier 3, he comes back 200m after leading from a wide gate and boxing on for 4th at Tokyo over 1800m, 4.75L behind Danon Dax at $7. His debut 3rd at Niigata over 1800m reads sound and the short turnaround of 13 days suggests he holds his condition; a tidy run back to 1600m looks within reach.

First up after 2 months, the mare returns from a pair of Fukushima runs where she was 5th over 1200m (4.05L, 55kg, SP 71) then 6th over 1150m. She draws barrier 4 again and sticks with Masami Matsuoka; a 450m rise in trip gives her a different look and she can be kept in mind if the tempo suits.

Second-up after a tough debut at Nakayama over 1800m when 12th of 14, beaten 17.6L at $34 on yielding ground from a wide gate. Drops 200m, draws better in barrier 5, and carries 56kg with Takuya Ono up. The improved setup should help him take a step forward.

Second-up after a testing debut at Nakayama over 1800m on yielding going, where she settled back and finished 14th of 14, 19.9L behind Famous Jazz at $71. She draws barrier 6 today and comes back 200m, which could help her find a more practical spot. Scope to improve with race experience for this mare.

Second-up after finishing 13th of 16 at Tokyo over 1300m five days ago, beaten 20.3L at $201 under 52kg. Steps out 300m in trip and draws barrier 8 after barrier 12 last time, which could help her settle better. Needs to lift off that return run but the short turnaround and improved gate offer scope for improvement.

Third-up and back from a 55-day break, she brings solid Sapporo 1500m form, including a 2nd on 1 Aug (55kg, SP 3.4) when chasing home Blue Jay. Last start she held a forward spot to finish 4th of 11 at Sapporo on 23 Aug (1500m, 55kg, SP 2.3), 4.6L off Desert Spirit. With the same jockey and 55kg again, she profiles as a consistent chance to run well.

Consistent this season with 2nds at Niigata 1600m (1L, 55kg, SP 4.4) and Nakayama 1600m (7L, 55kg, SP 3.9), racing on-speed before boxing on. She is fourth-up and holds a 1600m record of (2:0-2-0), with a solid rapport with Akihide Tsumura shown by multiple placings. Well placed to run another honest race from barrier 10.
