Tokyo Race 5 - Tokyo 5r
With all runners debuting, BUTTERFLY KNOT (1) appeals from the inside draw at 56kg, offering map simplicity over 1800m. TOP RANKING (6) looks a key danger at the same weight with a staying-oriented profile likely to suit the trip. LACOCK (9) also profiles well at 56kg and can be prominent from a middle gate. Of the fillies at 55kg, PURE LION (8) has the pedigree to see out 1800m and can figure late. Slight edge to BUTTERFLY KNOT (1) in a race lacking exposed form.
