Tokyo City Keiba Race 9 - Tokyo City Keiba A2
SMART SUNNY (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on May 23, finishing 14th and beaten 22 lengths over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Has switched to the Hidemitsu Sakai yard. Has ability and should be right in the finish. KAZU PRESTO (3) held on well to finish second when first-up from a break last time out over 1800m at this track after leading for much of the way. Should go well. ALM LA TOUR (9) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Ready to go one better. PERSEVERANTE (2) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
