Tokyo City Keiba Race 1 - Maiden Race
MALBEC (3) Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd last start around here. Must be considered. WIN CATHERINE (12) Right up there last run at Funabashi. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide alley. Respect against this field. LOISTAA (1) Kizuna 3yo trained by Kazuhide Sasada having first race appearance and drawn beautifully. Market as guide. A GRAY BEAUTY (5) Fresh after a break. Finished 7th last time at Kyoto. Will be motoring home late. Must respect.

Started $17.00 and made some ground when 5th last run at this track and has a good draw. Should muster plenty of early toe. Watch betting.

Resumes from a break. At $61.00 mediocre display when 6th last time at Kyoto. Does take a while to get into stride. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.

Backs up quickly. Started $26.00 and below expectations when 13th last run at this track but was on debut last time. Likely to get back in the run. Would need to step up.

Just short of the win last run at Funabashi. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.
