Chofu Tokubetsu – Form Comments
| Enigma Variate | 7-year-old without a win in nearly 3 years. This will be his first race in seven months, but he ran 2nd twice at 2000m last year. Has been working on flat in tandem. A possible, but may need sharpener. |
| Hishi Victory | 4-year-old colt moving up in level for the first time. Has 2 wins, 3 seconds in 1800m – 2000m range, one win at this distance. Runs close to pace. First time at Tokyo, but has 2 seconds racing to left. Looking good in track work. |
| Holiday Mode | US-bred 4-year-old gelding posted two wins, two seconds early in career in 1800m – 2000m range. Won at distance at lower level last June. Been given mixed bag in 4 starts since. Unplaced in jump race on 4 May latest. Wild card. |
| Ice Storm | Likely among top picks. Coming off 3rd at same conditions on 21 April. Can race from any position. Good late speed. Needs fast track. Promising. |
| Pinnacles | Six-year-old gelding normally run in sprints not successful since moving to this level. Posted best a 7th in last 10 starts. Being given this distance for the first time on turf. Not promising. |
| Prayer Samson | Six-year-old has best a third at this level and distance posted last August. Ran 4th under these conditions at end of January. Given dirt mile 21 April. Track work sufficient. Could surprise. |

| Rolling Tower | Finished no better than 5th in last three starts at this level over 2000m, last start at Tokyo. Tends to run on pace, Made all to win at this distance at lower level last summer. Furlong less a plus. |
