Tokyo City Keiba Race 2 - Maiden Race
ANIMA RAY (14) Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd beaten by 5L last start at the track. Christophe Lemaire is a plus. Amongst the placegetters regularly this campaign. Respect in this company. BATTLE (15) Racing fresh after a break. Came on strongly when 2nd last time at this venue. Has the speed to overcome the wide alley. Won't be far away. JA NALIA (1) Faded at the finish when 4th last time at the track and gets the perfect barrier. Expecting to settle positively. This field suits. MAKA HOU (5) 3yo by Kingman first starter for Katsunori Tanaka. Watch betting.

Jumped at $2.00 and overrun when 4th last time at this venue and has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Should be going forward early. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Back from break. Jumped at $51.00 and finished 10th last run at the track but has a good draw. Might have to make up considerable ground. Can't have.
