Tokyo City Keiba Race 2 - Mdn Race
SAIMON LEGACY (8) Right in contention last start at Chukyo. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Jockey Yuga Kawada is a bonus. One of the major players. SOKAI FUNKY (5) Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last time at Chukyo and having second race start. Should be going forward early. Will be around the mark at odds. MASANO BLUE SKY (1) Showed some merit late when 5th last start at Sapporo and has minimal work to do from the barrier. Will be hitting the line strongly. Looks promising in this race. ASTRAL LIGHT (6) Ran on into 4th last run at this track and having second race start. One to watch and an each way chance.

Jumped at $19.00 and edged past some when finishing 5th last start at Sapporo and can save some energy from the draw. Should be swooping on the field late. Expecting a solid performance.

Back from a break. Was $21.00 and only fair when 9th last start at Kokura but will try to take advantage of the barrier. Very unlikely.

Odds of $29.00 and made ground when closing off to finish 5th last start at Chukyo and having second career run. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Pass.

At $8.00 kept chasing when 4th last start at Chukyo and was on debut last time. Has a nice turn of foot. Watch the betting.

Was overpowered late when 3rd last time at Chukyo and was a debutant last start. Displays good tactical speed. Value runner at good odds.

Started $9.50 and overtook some late when 4th last run at this track and was on debut last time. Watch for a sign in the market.

Jumped at $81.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 7th last start at Niigata. Should muster plenty of early speed. Prefer in something weaker.

Was agonizingly close last start at Chukyo. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Great to see jockey Yuga Kawada taking the ride. Will show up at the business end.
