Tokyo Race 2 - Mdn Race
INITIAL POINT (4) sets the standard off a clear 2nd at Tokyo 1800m last start and a recent string of placings reads solid for this. HO O BEAST (5) looks a danger after a debut 3rd at 1800m, beaten 1.5L and likely to take improvement. SAINTE CHAPELLE (1) is in the mix second up after a 3rd here over 1600m and draws the rail stepping to 1800m. MITSUKANE RIGEL (6) is a minor hope off a handy 4th at 1600m and could appreciate the extra trip. Lean INITIAL POINT (4) to convert with proven form at the trip and track.

Second up and comes off a Tokyo 1600m run on 12 Oct when 3rd of 12, beaten 1.8L at $2.60 on good ground. Draws the inside after jumping from 10 last start, which is a meaningful shift. Steps to 1800m at the same track with Christophe Patrice Lemaire aboard, and that recent effort reads well. Well set to progress from that solid return.

First up after about 16 weeks, and draws better with barrier 3 after jumping from 8 last time. Most recent run was 5th of 8 at Fukushima over 1800m on 4 Jul, beaten 5.3L at $20.00. Yusuke Hara rides for Takafumi Aoki, and the softer gate can help set up an improved showing at the same trip.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and comes off a solid 2nd of 12 over 1800m at Tokyo on 4 Oct, beaten 2.5L at $23.00. Draw improves from 12 to barrier 4 since that run, which should help her settle into the race. With Takeshi Yokoyama up again, she looks a genuine chance to be in the finish.

Second up after a solid 3rd of 9 at Kyoto over 1800m on 12 Oct, beaten 1.5L at $4.00. Stays at 1800m and now heads to Tokyo with Ryuusei Sakai up. That debut effort reads well enough for this small field, and further improvement second up would not surprise.

Second up after a Niigata 1600m debut on 22 Aug when 4th of 12, beaten 2.6L at $19.00. Steps to 1800m and draws better, moving from barrier 12 to 6. With Shu Ishibashi aboard, that debut effort reads well enough to hold his own here.

Second up after a narrow debut at Niigata over 1600m on 2 Aug, finishing 2nd of 13 beaten 0.1L at $2.40. Steps to 1800m at Tokyo, which looks a natural progression off that run. With Kiwamu Ogino staying on for Noboru Takagi, he brings solid platform form into this.
