Tokyo Race 11

The Artemis Stakes(G3)

Stake: $637,422

MARGA (7) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1800m at Hakodate three-and-a-half months ago and has not appeared since. Sure to be further improved over the break and can make it back-to-back wins. FIROSTEFANI (5) impressed when successful on debut over 1600m at Niigata three months ago and has not been produced since that impressive display. Likely improver who should run well again. TAISEI VOGUE (1) has been racing well and is close to another win, the latest effort a solid second in the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes over 1600m. Nice alley so must be considered carefully. LUCE FIORE (3) kicked off this prep with a win five weeks ago, scoring over 1600m at Nakayama. Stiffer opposition this time but cannot be underestimated.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 62-day let-up. Last start 2nd of 10 at Niigata in the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes on August 24 over 1600m, 4 len behind Realize Sirius with 55.0kg at $12.70. The run before that 2nd of 9 at Niigata on August 9 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Happy Angel carrying 55.0kg at $3.90. Draws the fence and is a top chance.

Second-up. First start 2nd of 17 at this track on June 8 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Purple Garnet with 55.0kg at $17.60. Went for a spell before returning favourite; won by 1.0 len at Nakayama September 21 over 1600m defeating Cosmic Box with 55.0kg at $2.20. Don't underestimate.

Returns from a 55-day let-up. Last start won by a head at Chukyo August 31 over 1400m defeating Asu Miru carrying 55.0kg at $3. The race before that 2nd of 12 at Chukyo on August 10 over 1600m, 5 len behind Anduril with 55.0kg at $9.50. This looks too rich.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, won by 2.5 len at Niigata July 26 over 1600m defeating La Princesse carrying 52.0kg at $69.50. Last start 8th of 10 at Niigata in the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes on August 24 over 1600m, 10 len behind Realize Sirius with 55.0kg at $9.20. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Freshened since claiming her maiden victory on debut; won by 0.5 len at Niigata August 30 over 1400m defeating Masticare with 55.0kg at $9.80. Can't dismiss winning form but will find this tougher.
