Tokyo City Keiba Race 2 - Maiden Race
MR EMERALD (3) Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 2nd last run at Chukyo and showing consistent performance in races. Finishes off strongly. Winning appeal. GRAND CHAMP (6) Made up ground when 4th last start at this track. Not out of this. SARASA DANDY (4) Disappointing display when 10th last start around here. Always seems to find the line well. Has the ability to figure. NISHINO EBIGATAME (1) Came in 7th last time at this venue but has drawn the rails. Could be value.

Ran 7th last time at this track but has the ideal alley. Slim chance.

Started $10.00 and mediocre display when 13th last time at Chukyo but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back in the field. Drawn nicely. Sound chance.

Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 2nd beaten by 1L last run at Chukyo and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has to be in the finish.

Performed below standard when 10th last start at this venue. Has a great burst of speed late. Gets a chance against these.

Fresh today after a break. Was $101.00 and didn't threaten when 14th last start at Kyoto. Shows good early pace. Seems very unlikely.

At $101.00 faded to finish 15th last start at Chukyo but having second career run. Does take a while to get into stride. Have to look elsewhere.

Started at $81.00 and sub-standard effort when 13th last run here but was on debut last time. Likely to get back in the run. This field likely to be too good.
