Tokyo

ROYAL SPIRE (1) Back from a break. Kept running on late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at Nakayama and solid career start. Has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. TAIKI BLITZEN (2) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd last time here and having second race start. Gets a favourable barrier. Can give this a shake. ROYAL ADELAIDE (8) Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last run at the track and having second race start. Deserves consideration. KIRI MITSU (9) First up from a break of 13 weeks and was amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 3L first up last preparation at Niigata. Knockout chance in this.
