🎵 Turning Japanese, Big in Japan 🎵


Recommended Posts

More pain for mazeo in the going and only third. But a good win for Yukigeshizuku

3/1 into 11/4

Ohi 11:30

Neo Tokio 

win

poor performer on first three starts second last in big fields each time.

change of yard and a two month break sparked form from the clouds and a run of six consecutive wins.

Two wins in one month but generally winning at month intervals and last seen bolting up last month. Last two runs has seen a new jockey on board and bold bid expected.Disbelief in his chances has seen this horse go off odds against several times and expect 4/6 today

*****
3/10 on no bet

1155 mombetsu

SUDA WORLD

Win

three times a course winner and has won at the trip and over six furlongs two from the last four runs.

Did not appreciate the extended mile last time a long way behind a horse he beat comfortably over this trip the previous run. If handling the going will be a handful under this jockey from a low draw.

Suda world second

Ohi 12:50

Suave Johnson 

win

not seen in over two years when a winner in September 21. Several wins and placed efforts prior to that time.
Due to have raced last year in September and was withdrawn . Was to have run from stall 6.  the horse in stall 5 duly won at 80/1. Had never placed before and subsequently has never placed again since. Form figures were 0-001000.

Unlikely to need a run and bold big expected.

Figures

4-13889-8528045

course winner. Lightly raced and no win since New Year’s Eve. But run cycle pattern altered and not seen since well off the pace and behind one of these last month. Glint of retained ability five runs back. Stall 3 a good starting point for any revival.

Volcan Baru

win 

Won on debut for yard by a decent margin at another track. Fired off a hat-trick in spring last year .

volcan Baru runner up

Uranus 

each way

feminine look

win

beaten favourite last time but has been knocking on the door of late if last run overlooked.

uranus beat feminine look by a length in December.

uranus also has a win in the locker on 13/9/22 but was a galaxy behind the two leaders on prep run for this race to the tune of 30 lengths over the trip when last seen.

todo bien runner up.
 

OHI 12:50

Rhein Angel

win

comes here in rich vein of form and drawn in stall 3 alongside non runners in stall 5 also absentee in stall 7.  hard to beat if receiving  all the benefits.

 

Kitasan Etoile

each way

this runner is having third run for new yard. Only win 22/7/22 on good ground. Kept to a strict run cycle by old yard involving early mid and late month runs. This structure adhered to by new yard but first two runs on heavy ground and given nearly a month off before this early month return which is not in keeping with old yard cycle.  Mid and late month run left out. In stall 6 and again a runner in the firing line….

Taisei grace second at 50/1.

 

OHI 1250

reverse forecast 

TUITION

Win

shaped as though coming to hand for new yard on third run. A sprinter and good third on heavy latest over the trip.

Cosmo Aube

each way

reverse forecast

very lightly raced this year just seven times but fourteen runs in 2022 yielded a pattern that produced a win in September and August with a good run in October. Not seen again til June 2023 and won in August, repeat attempt in September failed and reduction in outings. more intensive but same pattern now.

Sha tin 0630

Strive for glory

each way

held up last time and just failed. Receives a six pound pull with the winner. Fourth for Newmarket trainer Robert Cowell at royal ascot and a winner of listed stakes in Ireland off 96 under Billy Lee at Tipperary.

rated half that now have slid down the scale in Hong Kong to just 41. Returning to best and should go well here. Holds several of these on last run.

River view

win

course winner when last seen 

Top Top Tea

win

big chance again under champion jockey.

G LINER

Each way

ex Joseph O’Brien has never performed at this trip and was last on debut before winning a trip to royal ascot with a mile win flopped in the Britannia mile rated 91 but fetched a good fee to come here and not beaten a rival in four or five runs. debut now for Jamie Richards who is renowned for transforming losing horses but monty Roberts might have a job with this one and it could be Joseph O’Brien saw his Hong Kong clients coming as his runners rarely improve once done with. Chance given though. As this one very lightly raced and forty pounds down in ratings…….

beat Matilda Piccotte at naas in the ballyhane last year at 28/1. Yesterday’s Newmarket winner was beaten 1.25 lengths on the now called

CALIFORNIA VOCE’s

each way

last Irish appearance.

the ratings clearly don’t read the same in Hong Kong but Matilda Piccotte rating was in triple figures yesterday. has had settling rides  and yesterdays result won’t have been lost on connections. Hugh Bowman on a four timer here and retains the ride. Another ex Joseph O’Brien cast off though🙄

Very good fourth behind James fanshawe’s ensured who was a rare stable switching winner on debut. Just three runs back home and breaks maiden at first attempt. Voce Del Palio. Wiped its face at 5/1 and essentially third in theoretical terms and improving all the time. Small return of stake.

BRILLIANT GATE

stall 1 win

Labyrinth Queen

stall 9 each way

SAMARINDA

each way

stall 6

a sprint race and all of these without exception have won over the course and distance just once. Besides the immediate form which decides the prices these juveniles are much of a muchness and the key pointers therefore on top of the form is the draw. One of these will be doubling up for the first time.

the chances of a back to back are enhanced by the form runner being in stall one. Three places runs leading up to a win represents unusually strong form so he’s the first port of call. 
on the physics front stall 9 could also go well getting cover from ten and traverse with stall 1. Selections coming up.

ILLUSION

Win

Good Day Silence

Each way 

Good day silence has a stall 5 gate so has the opportunity to break and set the running or be held up to take advantage of the false pace if any.

Has been a revelation since moving up from sprints and has shaped well over a mile on last four runs culminating in a six length win latest. Seems logical to step up in trip again by 209 yards and on breeding may well take it in stride but looks value against the likely favourite here. Draw not ideal but has run well from all over since switching distances and all runs suggest will get further.

Illusion has also caught my eye 👁. Yard switch and change to current jockey may well work the oracle here. This horse is a multiple beaten favourite and besides being a favourite has been touched off as many times. Switch to a new yard has altered sps and performance and could go that step closer to winning today under this new jock who handled horse well on debut.
