Tokyo City Keiba Race 6

1700

Prize Money: $81,009

PEPTONE O (4) is the horse to beat after winning at Ohi on debut by two lengths from L'OISEAU DE FEU, doing enough in the run to suggest there is more to come second-up. He has less race evidence than some, but the exposed form is the cleanest in the field. MONTSAINTMANAOLANA (1) brings a stronger grounding, with a soft 1200m win here two starts ago before closing late when fourth behind Gold Schmidt. The move to 1700m is her key test, though 51kg gives her a genuine chance to run well. FORCE MAJEURE (3) is also in the mix, having won on debut before returning with a third over 1400m behind Purple Fog; the extra distance is the question, not the ability. L'OISEAU DE FEU (5) has to put a tailed-off latest run behind her, but her debut second to PEPTONE O keeps her in the wider conversation for a minor placing.

Comments

Closed off from a difficult position when fourth over 1200m at Ohi last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Gold Schmidt at generous odds. That followed a soft three-length win here over 1200m when near the top of betting and quickening sharply from a handy spot. The 1700m rise is the key query, but 51kg and barrier 1 give her a realistic platform for a minor-money finish.

Comments

Placed third in a five-runner race at Ohi last start, but the margin tells the story: never competitive and beaten out of sight behind Keten Passion after being unwanted in the market. He had also been beaten over 10 lengths by Purple Fog here two back. As a six-start maiden, his two track placings are noted, yet a marked lift is required.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing third over 1400m at Ohi, beaten six lengths by Purple Fog in a race where he settled rearward and was near the top of an open market. His debut win here over 1400m, when odds-on and too strong for Orange Lucifer, still reads well. The 1700m is the unanswered question, but his two-start record says he belongs among the main place hopes.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after making the perfect start at Ohi, winning on debut by two lengths from L'Oiseau De Feu. He was just in front in the run and extended comfortably, which points to a professional two-year-old with more to offer second-up. Takayuki Yano stays aboard and one win from one start is straightforward but persuasive. With natural upside, he sets the standard.

Comments

Tailed off when fourth in a five-runner race at Ohi last start behind Keten Passion, and long odds there make it hard to be too forgiving despite the note that she worked home. Her debut second behind Peptone O was far stronger, beaten two lengths as favourite after enjoying a good run. Third-up fitness helps, but she needs to rebound sharply to turn that earlier promise into a result.
