Tokyo City Keiba Race 12 - Tokyo City Keiba B2
RIKEA MINNEOLA (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 2.5 lengths from the winner. No tougher this time, so should be right up to this. MARUKAN BLOND (5) missed the frame narrowly when resuming from a break last time out, finishing fourth over 2000m at this track. Has a solid second-up record and should be fitter with a run under the belt. Ready to find best form. TAKENO SHINSEI (6) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. This is a nice drop in grade so he is well placed to play a major role. SMITHSONIAN (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 12 at this track on September 4 over 1650m, 2.5 len behind Sorbet with 56kg at $16.90. Before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 11 at this track on August 14 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Musashi Express carrying 56kg at $94.20. Can easily finish right over the top of these.
