Tokyo Race 3 - Mdn Race
FIRST ARRIVE (6) appeals most off a narrow 2nd over this Tokyo mile and a last-start 3rd at 1800m, bringing the most solid recent figures at 56kg. POD TRIGGER (10) is a danger dropping into 1600m after a 4th here at 1400m, and that debut SP suggests early talent. COPERNICUS (12) can be thereabouts after finishing 4th over this track and trip, though the 7.5L margin and wide alley temper confidence. KURO DATE (1) has claims first up with barrier 1 after a 2nd at 1700m on debut, but the drop to 1600m is a small query; marginal lean to FIRST ARRIVE (6).

First up after about 4 months, and draws the inside after jumping from 10 last time. At Fukushima on 4 Jul over 1700m he ran 2nd of 15, beaten 1L on muddy ground at $2.05. The cut back to 1600m and the inside gate look suitable for Kuro Date with Alexis Pouchin booked. Competitive profile for this maiden.

Third up and draws much better, shifting from barrier 12 to gate 2. Last start at Niigata over 1800m she finished 6th of 12, beaten 15.6L at $51.00 on GOOD ground. Back to 1600m at Tokyo with Ko Nagahama aboard gives Gold Burning a softer map to find her rhythm. Can improve from the low draw.

Third up and draws much better, shifting from barrier 12 to 3. Ran 5th of 16 at Tokyo over 1600m on 25 Oct, beaten 8.5L at $6.50, so the inside gate should help secure a cleaner trip. With Shu Ishibashi engaged and race-fit now, Lotus Peak has grounds to improve at this track and trip.

Second up and sticking to 1600m at Tokyo after finishing 6th of 12 here on 25 Oct, beaten 6.26L at $12.00. That was an improvement on his 7th of 9 over the same trip on 6 Jun, beaten 10.31L at $26.00. With Akira Sugawara up again, he has room to progress at this set-up.

First up after about 4 months, the 2yo colt resumes over 1600m with Kosei Miura booked. Last start he finished 14th of 16 at Fukushima over 2000m on 5 Jul, beaten 8.03L at $101.00. The shorter trip is a sensible change and the rider engagement is a plus. Can improve off that experience.

Third up and coming off a solid Tokyo 1800m run on 24 Oct, finishing 3rd of 7 when $2.45 and beaten 1.8L on good ground. The drop to 1600m looks a plausible tweak after that effort. Sticks with Kiwamu Ogino for Noboru Takagi, which keeps things straightforward. Well-placed to hold form at this track.
