Tokyo City Keiba Race 1 - Maiden Race
AUBE FRAICHE (3) Resuming. Ran out of steam towards the end when 3rd beaten by 2L last start at Kyoto but down in distance. Likely to be well placed early. Definite claims. SMASHING (15) Outgunned at the finish when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start around here. The wide gate shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Can win this. ZELDA (10) Fresh after a break. Finished 8th last start at Kyoto. One of the major players. STELLAR EVE (6) 3yo by Makfi racing as a debutant for Haruki Sugiyama. Follow the money.

Back after a spell. Was $67.00 and weakened to finish 12th last start at Kyoto but has drawn the rails. Back to a shorter trip. Prefer others.

Resuming after a break. Started $51.00 and ran 8th last time at Kyoto but has a positive alley. Bit of extra work to do with more weight. Needs a lot of luck in this race.

Fresh after a break. Claimed late when 3rd beaten by 2L last start at Kyoto but coming back in distance. Should jump out and bowl along. Good chance and definitely has claims.

First run back from a break. Was $19.00 and faded away to finish 16th last time at Kokura but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back. Most likely not today.

First up from a break. Started at $23.00 and didn't attack the line when 15th last time at Kokura but fitter for debut run. Back in trip. Will need to run very well.
