Tokyo City Keiba Race 8 - Nojigiku Stakes
G T SAKURA (2) Resumes from a break. Rounded them up when winning last time at this track and having second career run. Drawn nicely. Winning prospect. BRAD BAROWS (6) On a quick turnaround. Went to the front and never looked back to win by a margin of 1 1/2L last time at this track and having second race start. Winning claims. CITY OF DREAM (1) Made every post a winner when winning by a margin of 1 1/2L last start at Sapporo and fitter for debut run. Should be going forward early. Drawn the rails. Cannot underestimate. MEISHO SEIKU (5) Charged home to win last time at Chukyo and was a debutant last start. Solid place bet prospects.

Led from start to finish to win by 1 1/2L last start at Sapporo and was on debut last time. Displays good tactical speed. Has the ideal alley. Strong chance to be considered.

Resuming after a spell. Ran home strongly to win last time at the track and having second race start. Can find a nice position from the draw. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Odds of $151.00 and faded to finish 8th last start at Sapporo. Looks completely outclassed.

Backing up quickly. Started at $51.00 and mediocre performance when 7th last start at this track. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Appears tested.

Picked up late to win last time at Chukyo and was a debutant last start. Nice value bet.

Backs up quickly. Set the tempo when winning by a margin of 1 1/2L last time at the track and having second career run. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.
