Tokyo City Keiba Race 4 - Maiden Race
SMASHING (10) Looked outclassed when 9th last start here. Giving another chance here and good career start. Will be positive in the run early. Deserves consideration. POD RIPPLE (15) Finished strongly when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last run at Kyoto and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. B B SYNERGY (4) Career debut 3yo by Greater London for Teruhiko Chida. Betting as a guide. DERNIER JOY (1) Finished well when 3rd last start around here and has the ideal draw. Has shown early pace in races to date. Has to be included.

Strong effort to run into 3rd last start around here and gets a favourable draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Respect the betting.

Resuming after a break. Missed by a narrow margin last run at Kyoto and was a debutant last start. Should be swooping on the field late. Betting is the best guide.
