Tokyo Race 1 - Mdn Race
SANONO FIGHTER (2) looks the most reliable after a 2nd then 3rd at 1600m, both within 2L, and draws low with 56kg to hold a handy spot. LE BOIS (4) appeals as the main danger dropping back to 1600m after a clear 2nd over 1800m last start, suggesting the mile suits. NAC DREAM (9) has claims off a 3rd at this track and trip on debut, beaten 5.5L, and can improve with that run under the belt. BLUE SANTA (7) is next best coming off a solid 4th over 1800m and the step to a mile could sharpen him. Leaning SANONO FIGHTER (2) in a tight finish.

Second up after a Tokyo 1600m run on 18 Oct when 4th of 16 at $31.00, beaten 13.5L. Stays at the same track and trip, which should aid continuity. With Takeshi Yokoyama aboard again, Power Play can build on that experience.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and comes here fourth up, bringing solid 1600m form. Latest run was 3rd of 12 at Niigata over 1600m on 17 Oct, beaten 1.75L at $3.90 on good ground. Draws better this time moving from barrier 7 to 2, which should help Hironobu Tanabe find a spot. Sanono Fighter has a genuine platform to hold form at the trip.

Third up and dropping to 1600m after finishing 8th of 13 over 1800m at Niigata on 18 Oct, beaten 5.46L at $67.00 on good ground. Moves to the Tokyo mile, which could prove a better fit at this stage of the prep. Takuya Ono sticks for Hiroyuki Uehara. Seiun Sayfi can take a step forward with the distance drop and added fitness.

Fourth up and coming off a Kyoto 1800m 2nd of 12 on 12 Oct, beaten 4L at $10.00, which reads well for a rise back to 1600m. Draws better with barrier 4 after jumping from 10 last start. With Atsuya Nishimura up again for Yoshiaki Sugiyama, Le Bois maps to get every chance from the draw and looks a solid prospect.

Tokyo 1600m experience last start reads modest, finishing 6th of 12 and beaten 20.25L at $251.00 on 17 Oct. Keeps Takuya Kowata and stays at the same trip, which offers a consistent setup. Needs to improve but the familiarity with track and distance is a small positive for Shiny Hero.

First up off about four months, and returns to Tokyo 1600m where he was 4th of 8 on 14 Jun, beaten 4.75L at $20.00. That effort reads better than the subsequent Fukushima 1800m run when 9th of 14, beaten 7.75L at $31.00. Alexis Pouchin takes the ride. Capable of getting into the mix back to this trip and track.
