Tokyo City Keiba Race 9 - Race 9 - 1200
BLEUE LIBELLULE (6) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1200m here following a win at this track at the previous outing. Leading prospect. KUCHOMOZA KWA JUA (1) is a distance specialist who recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing just 0.8 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. FORTY STAR (7) is back at the races for the first time since May 2 2025. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. MEISHO AKIKAZE (5) lines up on the back of a fourth over 1200m at this track. Has definite claims.

Recent form sound. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on June 12 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Hirondelle with 53kg at $5.10. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 13 at this track on May 22 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Bleue Libellule carrying 53kg at $5.40. Likely to go well from the rails draw.
