Tokyo City Keiba Race 9 - Tokyo City Keiba C1
RIPENING (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1400m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. LIEN FORT (9) opened this prep last start with a third, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Well placed and should be tough to beat. DRAGON BUSTER (2) lines up on the back of a 3.5 lengths fourth over 1600m at this track. Has a decent record at this venue with a win and three minor placings from five starts. One of the main contenders. FRANCORCHAMPS (5) finished 9 lengths back in eighth over 1600m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Should camp just off the leaders. Not to be discounted.

Second run back. First-up after six months held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on January 16 over 1400m, 7 len behind Omasa with 56kg at $3.50. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 13 at this track on March 12 over 1200m, 5 len behind Yumegoten carrying 56kg at $1.80. Strong winning chance.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 33 day let-up. Last start 4th of 13 at this track on January 14 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Three Legend carrying 56kg at $14.20. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 13 at this track on December 30 over 2000m, 1.5 len behind Nepotism Baby with 56kg at $2.20. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Second-up. First-up after four months raced on the pace before fading 10th of 14 at this track on January 28 over 1600m, 10 len behind Vlastari carrying 54kg at $20.70. Previously second-up won by 3 len at Monbetsu June 11 over 1000m defeating White Magic with 55kg at $3.70. Don't underestimate.

Second run back. First-up after three months 3rd of 13 at this track on January 30 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Justin Arrow carrying 56kg at $8.
