Tokyo Race 2 - Maiden Race
WIN BEGINNING (5) profiles as the leading chance, coming off a close 2nd at Fukushima over 1700m, beaten just 0.3L, and has finished runner-up in three of his last four starts. PLACEMENT (3) is a key danger after a strong debut 2nd at Tokyo over this trip, beaten 0.5L. REVERBERATION (1) was 4th at Tokyo two starts back and draws well. TWIN DRIVE (14) has been around the mark with a 5th and 6th in recent runs. These four look best suited on exposed form.
