Tokyo Race 3 - Mdn Race
ATOMIC LIZHI (8) appeals most off a solid 4th on debut at Niigata over 1800m, and the step to 2000m looks a natural progression after finishing 4.3L from the winner. GRAND STORY (2) is a major threat having already placed over this trip with a 3rd at Niigata, holding the best proven 2000m figure among these. RECURSION FUNC (4) can improve second up after a midfield Tokyo 1800m run and may appreciate stretching to 2000m. SARASA CYNTHIA'S (7) was 4th at Tokyo over 1800m and also steps to 2000m, and that local experience reads well. Narrow lean to ATOMIC LIZHI (8) in a race where the proven 2000m platform of GRAND STORY (2) keeps it close.

Second up and draws the inside after barrier 8 last time, which should help. At Tokyo over 1800m on 17 Oct she finished 6th of 8, beaten 3.55L at $34.00. Up to 2000m at the same track with Shu Ishibashi aboard, she has a platform to improve.

Second up after a good run at Niigata over 2000m on 23 Aug, finishing 3rd of 11, beaten 1.55L at $31.00. Stays at 2000m and moves to Tokyo, a sensible next step off that performance. Kazuki Kikuzawa retains the ride, maintaining continuity. Solid claims to hold that form.

Third up and draws better, moving from barrier 7 to 3. Last start at Tokyo over 2000m on 3 Oct he finished 8th of 11, beaten 7.55L at $151.00. The inside draw should give Akihide Tsumura options to settle closer. With that run under his belt, Sky Mirror can find a more competitive spot in this smaller field.

Third up and stretching to 2000m again after finishing 7th of 10 at Sapporo over 2000m on 6 Sep, beaten 9.05L at $3.25. Stays at the trip with Yuji Tannai aboard for Keizo Ito. Needs to build on that latest run but can improve with added race fitness.

Second up after a Tokyo 1800m run on 3 Oct when 4th of 11 at $34.00, beaten 10.8L on good ground. Steps to 2000m at the same track with Takeshi Yokoyama aboard, and the extra trip can suit at this stage of her preparation. Looks a reasonable improver with race fitness and continuity in rider and track.

Second up and stretches from 1800m to 2000m after finishing 4th of 12, beaten 4.3L at $2.05 at Niigata on 8 Aug. Christophe Patrice Lemaire takes the ride for Keisuke Miyata. The rise in trip suits the preparation and gives Atomic Lizhi a sound platform to progress.
