Tokyo City Keiba Race 8 - Tokyo City Keiba B2
NINE ESQUIRE (7) returned from a break with a win by half a length over 1200m at this track making it seven straight. Same winning combination as last time and can measure up again. TAISEI GUST (1) finished half a length from the winner in second in a much better run last time at this track over 1200m. Well placed and is a major contender. YOSHINO DAISEN (9) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a break last time out. No reason he cannot repeat the dose. LITTLE BIGHORN (10) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.

Second-up. First-up after four months favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track April 17 over 1200m defeating Taisei Gust carrying 56kg at $1.30. Previously second-up favourite; won by 3 len at this track December 4 over 1200m defeating Silent Black with 56kg at $1.10. Impossible to fault and expected to go close again. Improver with winning prospects.
