Tokyo City Keiba Race 7 - Tokyo City Keiba B1
BENTAYGA (1) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1800m at this track. Should be hard to stop. SHADOW LUPIN (5) finished ninth over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win when fresh from a spell two runs back. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. MARRON CHANTILLY (4) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when tenth over 1700m at Funabashi. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will be in this for a long way. BISHAMONTEN (9) turned in another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1600m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 13 at Funabashi on June 5 over 2200m, 9 len behind Sehr Schnell with 55kg at $36.30. Last start 6th of 14 at this track on June 29 over 1800m, 5.5 len behind Idea Igosso carrying 55kg at $79.60. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
