Tokyo Race 5 - Tokyo 5r Eqplayerbuttonbyaccount('202604050905', 2);
With no exposed form, slight preference to NOVA LUX (3) who debuts at 1800m and looks a likely runner at the trip under 56kg. ROKARUZE (1) maps to get a soft run from the inside draw and should be in the finish at the same weight. Of the colts, VILAIN (7) appeals as a staying type on pedigree and can be strong late. Best of the fillies might be SHE BOP (5) at 55kg, and she can measure up if she settles. Lean NOVA LUX (3) in a cautious maiden.
