Tokyo Race 11

The Kyodo News Hai(Tokinominoru Kinen)(G3)

Prize Money: $720,893

Lots of promising colts engaged. L'AVENUE (8) bolted in at first outing when heavily bet then went for another break. Big jump in class but looks a highly promising colt. Expected to go on with it. LOVCEN (6) led throughout on debut then won the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes last time before a let-up. Hard to fault and should be right in the finish. REALIZE SIRIUS (5) was fifth in the Futurity fresh and did win only try here by seven lengths when on debut. Sure to run well. BERESHIT (7) is an improving colt with a big finish. This suits and will be winding up strongly. DIVINE WIND (4) scored an impressive debut win this course and distance before a long break. Sure to have improved. Among the main contenders.

Looking to keep his unbeaten record intact. When well in the market on debut, won by 3 len at Kyoto November 9 over 2000m defeating Alpenglow carrying 56.0kg at $2.90. Last time out won by 0.8 len at Nakayama G1 Hopeful Stakes December 27 over 2000m defeating Forte Angelo carrying 56.0kg at $19.80. Led throughout on debut then won the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes last time before a let-up. Hard to fault and should be right in the finish.

Resuming after a break; only one run when won by 5 len at this track November 8 over 1800m defeating Elu Grace with 56.0kg at $2.50. Bolted in at first outing when heavily bet then went for another break. Big jump in class but looks a highly promising colt. Expected to go on with it.
