Tokyo City Keiba Race 5 - Hanshin 5r
Limited exposed form, so market will guide. Watching NERO NOIR (10) with Yuga Kawada from barrier 10, while inside draws suit debutants NOBLE KINGDOM (1) and REGALIA FOLIA (2). TOP OF DREAM (8) resumes after 84 months and has not won in nine starts, but did place 3rd at Funabashi over 1200m; big 800m rise to 2000m is a query.
