Tokyo City Keiba Race 5 - Maiden Race
ZELANTE (12) 3yo first starter by Contrail for Mikio Matsunaga. Watch the betting. CROSS BORDER (3) Didn't attack the line when 9th last start at Kyoto. Likely to bounce back and stepping up in distance. Can take this out. FALANGHINA (18) Yuichi Fukunaga 3yo by Lovely Day on debut. Respect the betting. TANA V HACHI TURBO (6) Lost ground when 7th last start at Kyoto and going over extra ground. Won't be far away during the run. Will be competitive.

Odds of $51.00 and ran 8th last time at this venue but has minimal work to do from the alley. Might have to make up considerable ground. Others preferred.
