Tokyo City Keiba Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
Tricky juvenile debut on soft, so lean to proven sires for 1400m and ground. PRIMA GRANDEUR (1) profiles well from the inside draw with Drefong’s stock handling speed and some cut, and 54kg helps. BELLAGIO STARS (9) appeals on pedigree for early pace by Henny Hughes and should stay the trip. T FALCON (8) is another speed influence through Copano Rickey and can be prominent from a middle gate. MY LIFE (3) has a stout Sinister Minister cross that can see him finish off if they overdo it. Narrow edge to PRIMA GRANDEUR (1) on map and weight.
