Tokyo

GRAN MAESTRO (9) Improved to place when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Jockey Christophe Lemaire rates highly aboard. Worth strong consideration. ITOSHISA (1) First up and competed in a tight contest first up last preparation here. Showing consistent performance in races. Has drawn the rails. Will be there at the finish. WADI AL RIYAH (11) Was overpowered late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at Chukyo and promising career start. This field suits. TWISTED SILK (12) Came in 4th last start at Funabashi. Expected to settle towards the rear. Must respect.
