Tokyo Race 3 - Mdn Race
HEART NOTE (9) sets the standard with back-to-back 2nds at 1800m and narrow margins, and looks well placed to convert with similar conditions. COSMO BALMUNG (4) is a solid threat after a nose 2nd over this track and trip, holding reliable 1800m form. MEINER RICHARD (2) has each-way claims off a close 3rd at Tokyo 1800m last start and consistent seasonal profile. Market leans strongly to HEART NOTE (9), and on exposed 1800m form that reads right.

First up after about 4 months and draws the inside gate. Last start at Tokyo over 1400m on GOOD he finished 9th of 10, beaten 10.4L at $101.00 on 21 Jun. The step to 1800m with barrier 1 and Takurou Ishida aboard gives Crown Flag a different set-up to improve.

Fourth up and coming off a Tokyo 1800m run on 12 Oct when 3rd of 11, beaten 1.51L at $17.00 on GOOD. Draws better from barrier 2 after jumping from 6 last time, which should help secure a handier position. With Kosei Miura booked again and proven at the trip and track, Meiner Richard has the set-up to run well.

Third up and draws better after coming from barrier 8 to barrier 3, which should help. Last start at Nakayama over 1200m he finished 9th of 9, beaten 25.45L at $101.00. The improved gate gives Malinowski a chance to find a more suitable run over further.

Narrowly missed at Tokyo over 1800m on 12 Oct, running 2nd of 11 by 0.01L at $20.00 on GOOD. Draws better here, moving from barrier 11 to 4, which should help Yuji Tannai find the right spot. Solid platform for Cosmo Balmung to run well again at the same trip and track.

Second up after finishing 6th of 11 over 2000m at Tokyo, beaten 2.81L at $2.50 on GOOD. Drops back to 1800m and stays at Tokyo with Christophe Lemaire aboard. With that run under his belt and a slight trip cut, Lani Akea has a practical setup to improve.

Second up after an 8th of 12 over 1600m at Tokyo on 12 Oct, beaten 7.4L at $126.00 on Good. Draws better this time with barrier 6 after 11 last start, which can help. Steps to 1800m at the same track and stays on Good ground. K Two Lari has scope to improve with the softer draw and extra trip.

Third up and comes off a Hanshin 1800m run on 20 Sep when 2nd of 7, beaten 0.75L on good at $1.03. Stays at 1800m and switches to Tokyo, and Cristian Demuro sticks. That last effort reads well for this maiden, and Heart Note looks to have her chance again.
